Sleep Sound System (Rating 9 1/2 out of 10)

The Sleep Sound system is new and is a multi faceted approach to curing your insomnia. It can do this very well but some effort needs to be put into it to make it work well for you.

As you've probably realized by now, insomnia is a many headed beast! And as we're all different, we need different ways to overcome it. That's where the Sleep Sound system shines above anything I've tried before.

Why? Because it attacks the insomnia on 3 fronts. There's a comprehensive book which teaches sound sleep hygiene, an instructional audio that teaches us step by step how to relax fully and finally, the main audio which is the "guts" of the program. This audio will quieten the brainwave frequency to a level that allows drowsiness and sleep to happen naturally.

"Ha!" I hear you say, "I've heard of this before, it's called binaural beats"

Well although the concept is similar, it's far superior to binaural beats.

"Sleep Sound" uses isochronic tones to slow the brainwaves. Binaural beats won't work without headphones. With isochronic tones there is no need for headphones, although wearing them may have a stronger effect. In fact the Sleep Sound creator has recommended the use of headphones on the site, but believe me you can do without them :-)

Now I know there's lot's of insomnia CDs and insomnia tapes out there that promise to cure insomnia. Some of them are quite effective. Hypnosis CDs are great if you're already relaxed and can be hypnotized easily. Relaxation CDs work for others. Binaural beats work quite well too but you need those pesky headphones, (not good if you want to turn onto your side!)

Disadvantages?

The files are quite large and take a while to download. However the program's creator will send you a CD if requested.

For a safe and natural drug free way to fall asleep, the "Sleep Sound" program rules!

The Sleep Sound Program is now available on CD. Do this for yourself, checkout the "Sleep Sound" program now.

Product review - Sleep Tracks

You know the saying "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.."?

Well that's what I thought when Yan Muckle sent me his "Sleep Tracks" to review. One of the advantages of being online is that people send you products for testing quite a lot!

Anyway back to Sleep Tracks. I have tried many products of this type, most of them are quite good, but only the best make it onto this site. The better products have some type of brainwave entrainment (which lower your brainwaves and put you in a relaxed state of mind) plus some type of information on improving your sleep habits. These two things should always go together.

Well the first thing I noticed about Sleep Tracks was that the information given is presented in video format. As well as being very detailed (there's nothing this guy doesn't know about sleep!) It's also very entertaining. This helps to learn the material rather than just reading a book for example.

What is automatic thinking? And why it keeps you awake
How to get rid of the fear of not sleeping
How to stop the habit of worrying at night (this is great!)
Many more too numerous to list here!

The actual tracks - which are the meat of the program - are based on isochronic tones. Isochronic tones are far superior than binaural beats for brainwave alteration and there's no need for headphones. The Sleep Tracks gently take you down into a relaxed sleepy state very effectively. Great for those of us with overactive minds!

The tracks don't have to be used for ever. Sleep Tracks assumes insomnia is a learned behaviour and one the mind has been trained and you have "unlearned" all your poor sleep habits, you can stop using the tracks and still enjoy quality sleep. The tracks have a cumulative effect.

There are three separate tracks. One prepares your mind for sleep (Insomnia Buster), the others send you off to the land of nod according to the sleep problem you have. There are separate tracks for those who have trouble falling asleep and for those who wake too early or wake several times during the night.

There is also a bonus "Power Nap" track which puts you in a light sleep for 20 minutes and then wakes you up so you'll feel fantastic.

This is the first product I have found that targets different sleep problems separately rather than trying to treat all sleep problems the same. It's extremely effective for those who wake frequently as most other products just target folks who have trouble falling asleep.

It also works well for those who take sleeping pills and those who have fibromyalgia, chronic pain or suffer with restless legs - (try the Wholenight track for this)

Drawbacks? Sleep tracks is priced a little higher, but is worth it for the quality of the product in my opinion. It needs to be done consistently, but it's worth the small time investment.

Sleep Tracks worked well for me when I went interstate recently to visit family. Usually sleeping in a strange bed means instant insomnia. This time I took my Sleep Tracks along and it saved me from a sleepless week!

So is Sleep Tracks to good to be true? Definitely not. It does everything it promises and could finally be the answer for those with chronic insomnia and long term sleep problems. You can start enjoying better sleep tonight!
