Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

Introduction The “Death-X-Perts” – Walking Time Bombs!

So many guys like Dustin turn to the biggest guy in the gym for their advice or worse a chemically enhanced time bomb gracing the pages of the latest Magazine. What Dustin and many others don’t know is the cruel and never ending spiral of drug abuse that a “one-time-only” first cycle can trigger.

Believe me the average dude in the gym who is slamming the latest chemical going around town is not going to tell you how to rebuild your kidneys, your liver, or heart after they fail because you decided gaining an extra 20 pounds of muscle with some “barnyard, home brewed, chemical concoction” loaded with impurities, animal hormones, bacteria and a host of chemicals that would make a “biochemical weapons chemist” nervous was worth risking your health.

After being in and around the bodybuilding industry for the last 20 years I can honestly say that I am stunned and horrified by the unnecessary risks bodybuilders around the world are taking daily in the quest for a bigger biceps. One of the biggest problems in bodybuilding is how many bodybuilders are getting horrific advice from “Pill Pushing Plate-Heads” passing themselves of as medical professionals, expert trainers, and my personal favorite… “Masochistic Philosophers”.

Death-X-Pert Number 1

Recently I flipped through all of the main muscle magazines and I reflected on the deaths, illnesses, and sufferings of the industries leading “Death-X-Perts”. It all started with guys like Dan Duchaine, “a.k.a. The Steroid Guru”, who was and still is one of the most famous “Death-X-Perts” ever but the persona was in fact a complete fake as Dan in reality was a 6″6 175lb skin and bones chemical nightmare gone wrong.

I first met Dan Duchaine in 1999 at the Arnold Classic and I was shocked and horrified that anybody would listen to this guy after seeing him in the flesh. It became clear to me Dan was a media sensation not a real expert, which got me thinking. How many Fake Gurus are really out there in the Bodybuilding Industry?

It didn’t take me long to find out the pill pushing propaganda program had been going on for some time and was showing no signs of letting up.

Death-X-Pert Number 2

Dan was actually spawned from one of the original “pro massive dosage of chemical regime” that first reared its ugly head with the Dynamic Duo of Mike Mentzer and his marketing mentor Arthur Jones. Arthur Jones was an eccentric billionaire who used a marketing concept he called “Heavy Duty – now called HIT”. Arthur Jones was not only rich but he was an exceptionally smart marketer and a fine writer.

Arthur Jones then wrote a series of convincing Pseudo-science training articles, which were printed in major muscle magazines. Arthur then viciously attacked anyone who opposed his outlandish principles using a mix of truth and falsehoods complete with philosophy from Friedrick Nietzsche and Ann Ryand.

He then selected genetically advanced individuals like Mike Mentzer who were all too willing to become brain washed stooges for Jones, by espousing Jones new training philosophy and ingesting a boat load of chemicals in order to successfully promote Jones’s fitness line called Nautilus Equipment.

The whole scheme worked and Arthur Jones made millions. Nautilus was a smashing success, and a few years later Mike and his brother Ray’s careers were over after Arnold Schwarzenegger defeated Mike in a controversial decision at the 1980 Mr. Olympia.

Death Sells – So Who’s Buying

I find it more than a little eerie that HIT training regained popularity after Mike Mentzer died at middle age. Mike was indeed a tremendous bodybuilder but his lifestyle certainly begs question onto the sanity of his principles and where they lead any person too.

Interestingly, very seldom do you see any mention of the boatload of drugs needed to be successful long-term on HIT training programs. Today’s unsuspecting bodybuilders’ like Dustin get only half of the story about the real reasons behind the success of HIT trainees or the sensational rise of the bodybuilding elite who’s “training and nutrition” articles appear each month in the magazines.

At least Arnold admitted to his use of Steroids to build his build his body during his “Pumping Iron” days. In Arnold’s Day it was perfectly legal to obtain drugs from your doctor and most of the top guys were under medical supervision before, during, and after their cycles.

Of course it does raise a question to the long-term effects of these products considering some of the health challenges Arnold has faced in recent years. What’s even more interesting these days is the “Governator” has taken a strong position against the use of drugs since entering into public office.

Death-X-Pert Number 3

Since the deaths of Duchaine and Mentzer’ there has been an explosion of “Wannabee-Steroid Guru’s” touting the latest “cycle secrets” on the internet. One such expert who is all over the net everywhere and even sports his own column in a major muscle building magazine brags how he gives drugs to his son and then has the audacity to state the health conditions he has endured ‘have nothing to with the drugs”- YEAH RIGHT!

I mean when you have parents willing to put their children’s health at risk just to make a few bucks and gain some notoriety it makes you kind of wonder just “what the hell is going on”. Read on because it’s not over yet, here comes the latest “bodybuilding brainwave” the Sultan of Synthol.

Death-X-Pert Number 4

Now just when you think things couldn’t get worse it did and we have guys like Greg Valentino spouting off advice to what people should take to look like him. Greg’s claim to fame is building grotesquely deformed arms using by injecting a host of chemical goodies directly into “lagging muscle groups”.

The swelling and scar tissue inflates the muscle to outlandish proportions almost overnight despite putting the user at risk to a host of serious medical complications that can result in everything from scars, sores, amputations and even death. But hey… “At least you can get big for a day.”

Despite the sheer insanity of this practice many mainstream television and Internet media sources jumped on the “Big At All Costs Bandwagon” by cashing in on the newest batch of bloated chemically infused muscle mutants to create an “Insane Size Circus” not seen since the days of P.T. Barnum and the Elephant Man.

In the meantime we have an epidemic of top professionals who have died over the last few years including former muscle magazine media darlings “Andreas Munzer, Mohammed Benaziza, Paul Demayo, Don Youngblood, and an ever increasing list off dead athletes whose lives were cut short because of “Mass Monster Mania”.

Yet still if you surf the net you will find all kinds of “Misguided Mass Monsters” who are doling out Deadly Drug Advice to anyone and everyone who happens to enter one of the thousands of “Serious Bodybuilding Forums” on the net.

Each one of these “Gorilla Gurus” comes complete with there own sick and twisted version of what I call “Faux Pharmaceutical Philosophy” and an array of one liners, silly names, and of course not one shred of credibility, reliability, or sensibility.

Still to the unsuspecting it’s easy to fall prey to the “Muscle Mania” and the underground bodybuilding drug culture.

Cycles, Surgeries, And Supplements

You can also add to the growing list of dead bodybuilders the hundreds of illnesses, last minute surgeries, and career ending medical conditions that forced the retirement of guys like Mike Matarazzo, Flex Wheeler, Dennis Newman and a swelling host of unheard of amateurs who have spent their money, their health, and their lives in pursuit of a 10 dollar trophy.

(See World Renowned Trainer Scott Abel’s Blog on “Dying to Win” as it gives even a deeper look into the dark side of bodybuilding).

Then on top of all that we have the ongoing and growing list of legal problems of the top amateur and professional bodybuilders. What’s even more disturbing is how many websites, forums, and “underground newsletters” distribute and promote information that idolizes and victimizes these individuals all the while encouraging their members to be “smart” about there drug cycle.

The magazines play “Blind Eye” to the whole charade because many of these guys and gals physiques grace the big supplement companies’ advertisements. These unscrupulous money mongers carefully manipulate the minds of consumers around the world by rolling out the latest over sized “Muscle Mutant” to play on the insecurities of young men and women who compare themselves to these over-glamorized heroes.

Most of these “sponsored athletes” are in reality victims of greedy business owners who are all too willing to exploit just about anything for the all mighty dollar.

The bottom line is most if not all of today’s “Bodybuilding Sensations” are really suffering from a severe case of Muscle Dysmorphia, which is a medical condition as serious as bulimia and anorexia. (See the official definition from ANRED at the end of this article).

The Sad Truth of bodybuilding is many of the top pros and amateurs’ lives are more tragic then triumphant, full of drug addiction, prostitution, and crime. I am sure you wondering how does such reckless exploitation occur and how does this all happen?

Keep reading dear friend as I reveal the deep dark secret formula that marketers use to hoodwink athletes, consumers, and yes even you to there schemes, scams, and outright shams. Get ready because here comes the BIGGEST BOMBSHELL OF ALL!
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

Intro

If you have been struggling with inducing your first O.B.E then binaural beats or brain wave technologies could be the answer. Learning to meditate is a life long journey that can takes years to get good at.

Binaural Beats and Astral Projection

Robert Monroe a pioneer when it comes to consciousness exploration began experimenting with brain wave technology in the 70’s along with his team of scientists. They discovered that when the brain waves of a subject is in the 4 hertz region it can lead to out of body experiences. This led them to develop the technology known as Hemi-Sync.

This technology would allow a complete astral projection newbie to achieve a O.B.E without years of training. The technology was so effective that a Buddhist Monk, who visited the Monroe institute, was shocked that the Americans developed a technology that could take a person with no meditation experience and allow him or her to reach the states of consciousness that took himself years to master.

What are the Best Brain wave technologies?

There are many different types of technology such as hemi-sync available to the public. Binaural beats can help a person lucid dream, astral travel, use the law of attraction, quit smoking etc. I believe that both Hemi-Sync and the brainwave generator software are both great systems and methods.

Binaural Beats should be only Training Wheels

The one thing people should know is that binaural beats should be used primarily as training wheels. As you get more experience with meditation drop the brain wave technologies because it will hold you into certain brain wave spectrums.

INTRO

Do you feel as though you’re stuck in a rut, and that your life has more potential than is being realised? Motivation therapy with brain entrainment is the key to unlocking doors of limitless possibilities. A binaural beats download has been proven to re-shape the psychology of the mind through a variety of entrainment frequencies, which can over time, alter the anatomical structure of the brain, so that newly acquired, positive states of mind become ingrained into one’s being.

SELF-DOUBT

It is very common for a person to begin a new venture, before distracting thoughts of self doubt hinder any chances of advancement. These include thoughts of failure; “What if I make a fool of myself? What if I don’t succeed?”. This self-doubting is a vicious cycle, and inevitably leads to a sense of helplessness and futility. The one thing that all books on self-motivation have in common is that they share the view that one should “NEVER GIVE UP!”. Sure you may encounter hardships along the way, but these are vital for self-improvement, as they help us learn and better ourselves.

COMBAT INERTIA

Brain entrainment is tailored to break down the blocks which prevent you from being open to change and improvement. We usually encounter a vast amount of inertia after being stuck in a rut for a while, but once we get started on making a change, the newly gained momentum carries us along.

REPROGRAMMING

Entrainment provides a gateway to the subconscious, where positive affirmations can be planted and left to grow. It is the subconscious mind which determines our behavior in everyday life. It is the storehouse of all past conditioning: positive and negative, filtered through the net of culture and society. Your success lies in reprogramming it to conform to a new, more helpful outlook on life.

CHOOSING A POSITIVE MIND SET

It has become somewhat of a cliche that ”you create your own reality”, a statement which has become a common fixture within the slightly nauseating new-age movement. But it is true! For example, someone with a self-defeatist attitude who constantly puts themselves down will often experience situations which conform to their misanthropic mindset. Likewise, one who is full of hope and optimism will experience life as being fun and joyful.

DECONSTRUCTION

To drive yourself to success, it is vital to observe your negative thoughts and their limitations, while capitalizing on the positive. Don’t go into denial and ignore the limiting thoughts completely; deconstruct them to their core and realise that they have been conditioned into you, and that you have mistakenly identified them as being a part of who you are.

CONCLUSION

Reprogramming your psychological makeup is no easy task, which is why tools such as brain entrainment have been constructed; to provide the framework for you to achieve this. A binaural beats download is designed to temporarily alter your brain to its most receptive state, so that you can implant new ‘software’ in the form a positive mind set. This new way of thinking will eventually permeate deep into your subconscious, changing the way you think, and therefore act.

International political crisis often becomes a precursor to war, that is to say that war is often nothing more than an extension of political impasse. It’s too bad when humans go and fight wars that so many people have to die just so one side can get their political will over on the other.

Yes, often the demands of one side are so great that war is inevitable, but that’s not always the case, in fact usually war can’t be prevented by proper international diplomacy. Perhaps we should call the State Department the Department of Peace, because when war breaks out it is usually due to a failure on their part. Yes, those are some heavy statements, so let’s go ahead and talk about this for second shall we, because I’d like to introduce a new concept to take this discussion to a higher level.

The other day I was talking to an intellectual entrepreneur, she goes by the slogan of “Self-Made Chick,” and as we were talking, she had noted that often when people walk into a room they either bring energy in, or they take energy away. I think we’ve all been in a room where all the sudden, all the energy seems to be sucked out by either a negative willed individual, or someone that is soaking up the energy rather than giving it off.

It is amazing when this happens because you can see the excitement and energy of the room go down to a lull, and eventually everyone leaves. That’s too bad, and we also talked about the need for going around and turning all the humans “back on” because somewhere along the line they lost all of their will to enjoy the life experience, and they stopped thinking.

Now then, what if we can take this onto the battle space, what if we could take entire armies and put them to sleep? Should we be studying whatever it is that allows these folks to suck the energy out of a room, and duplicate those frequencies, perhaps they are brainwaves, and project them by either aircraft, dirigible, or satellite onto the advancing Army.

You may say that mind control is totally unfair, inhumane, and not acceptable, however I would submit to you that if we can put people to sleep that we do not have to kill them. If the advancing army falling asleep, at that point anyway, they’ve obviously lost their will to fight, and the war or the political impasse can then be renegotiated rather than killing all the young men and women in uniform. They didn’t do anything wrong because the political impasse was caused by poor diplomatic efforts and political leaders, yet, they have to fight and die for it.

Now then, I’m not an antiwar protester by any means, in fact I run a think tank and we happen to discuss, design, and contemplate future defense weapons systems to protect our nation. Indeed, I can’t think of a better defense system than that. Just as we need to find ways to turn off or hack into enemy robotic weapon systems, we need to have a way to hack into the human mind, and stop them from attacking us.

It would also be a good way to put down mass rioting mobs, make them tired, and fall asleep, and then go put a small water bottle by each one of them when they wake up so in case they are thirsty they can have a drink, and then go home. Problem solved. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.

Instead of just making vague promises to yourself, why not actually pen down your goals on a piece of paper and put down a specific time line for each. There are no compromises when it comes to self improvement and every effort should be expended when it comes to making a better life for yourself. Forget the past failures, forget the times when you were just not able to achieve your goals. Never should there be a need to hide in a corner and let the shame overcome you, and you should no longer let the feeling of guilt and discontent whenever a goal you have so fervently promised yourself to achieve has slipped away again get to you. Science has come along and given us a life raft to reach our destinations. Through technology like brainwave entrainment, we are now able to take hold of ourselves – using the hidden power of the human mind to achieve goals.

The mind is a very powerful thing indeed and I am sure that you do not know the true potential of the very thing that is holding you back. Ironic isn’t it that the one thing that can liberate us form the cycle of failures is the same thing that is steering us to places we should not be going in the first place.

This is because we have let our mind run away from us and we should be looking to regain control of our mind and using its power for positive gains. Brainwave entrainment technology has arrived to just that and the methods are easy, effective and easily affordable. Science has discovered that the brain operates in specific frequency states – in different times of the day. From wakefulness to a deep sleep, the brain changes its neuron electromagnetic signal distribution, the chemical reactions of the brain get slower or faster depending on what we are doing and what was discovered through complicated and sensitive machinery is that the brain operates at a ‘super state’ when it is in different frequency modes.

A low Alpha state frequency (one that ranges from 8Hhz to 12Hz) is associated with relaxation, a relief of stress, an improvement of the body’s immune system and a time when the brain is optimised for accelerated learning. Using differing frequency sounds that are inaudible to the human ear and engineering these sounds into a CD of relaxing sounds, science has been able to use these low range frequency sounds introduced to the ears to invoke a cortical reaction deep inside the brain which forces it to evoke the specific Alpha frequencies. You now have full control of your brain and when you need the power of super learning all you need to do is plug in the CD, relax and then start studying.

Now imagine if we can do it for everything we need, better focus, increased creativity, meditation, improved sleep patterns, healing and even pushing more blood to the brain. With brainwave entrainment, you can!

Inspiration is defined as “filling with an animating, quickening, or exalting influence.” To be inspired is to be infused with knowledge that brings exciting moments of clarity, focus and inner awareness.

The word meditation is an ancient word for prayer. Guided meditations are particularly effective for those who find it difficult to meditate in silence or use techniques that promote an “emptying the mind”. Many of us have a distinctive and very busy “voice” in our head that is constantly dictating what we should do, or what we shouldn’t do. Meditation can break through and quiet that nagging voice within, and build a bridge to our deepest knowing.

Every cell in our body knows that inspiration truly comes from our spirit position. While our human self is busy with human endeavors, we must remember to reach for our spirit self which is all-knowing and will guide us to choices that are best for us. Our spirit self is a way-shower, a guide, an anchor, and the part of us that is ultimately wise and passionate. At the same time, our human self is to be honored for its miraculous ability to keep us physically alive and stimulated on the mental and emotional levels.

Today, meditation is recognized by both the spiritual and scientific communities as an effective tool in bridging our human self with our spirit self. The act of meditation literally changes our brainwave patterns to reach that place of being “between awake and asleep” that we experience upon waking. During these quiet lucid moments, often important information can come forward. This is the brainwave state we try to create with meditation.

Guided meditations offer an active style of meditation that appeases the 24/7 multifunctional brain, bringing it to a restful frequency. Guided imagery meditations also offer the opportunity to work on specific areas of interest, be it health, abundance, health concerns, correcting behaviors – even impacting the aging process through mind-body talk techniques. Good quality guided meditations have a sense of power in the audio delivery that helps the listener reach deeper parts of the self. Many websites offer free guided meditations to experience online or download.

Some recommendations for choosing the ideal guided meditation for you:

” Decide if you want a guided meditation that will make you simply feel more relaxed, or, if you are seeking a meditation that has been designed by specific topics of interest (e.g., health, children or family, self empowerment, personal quests, longevity, etc.).
” Seek information about the author or artist of the meditation, such as number of years experience in delivering meditations, teaching experience, and any special technique they use.
” Choose guided meditations that offer great imagery through the vocal/audio delivery, so you can learn to independently recreate those images in your own meditation wherever you like. You will eventually want to do the meditation without carrying around a guided meditation CD.
” Don’t underestimate your intuitive abilities when searching for meditation tools, courses and programs. Your instinctive self is your spirit self talking to you. Learn to trust that power within.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

Insomnia, one of the toughest mental disorders seems to take control in a busy modern living.

I myself used to be an insomniac, for whom the hardest thing was to relax and feel at ease. Just a few months ago, I’ve got a kind of software called Music Therapy for Sound Sleep on my Android device. Before trying, I deeply doubted if this so-called alpha-wave music deserved the title. I heard quite a deal of light music advocating comfort and soothing but has done nothing with my bad sleep. However, since it’s free of charge I gave a try.

Putting on my headphone, I heard sounds of ocean waves combining with piano. Gradually my mind was turning into a peaceful state. The sounds, seems to come from afar, was said to be embedded with Low Speed Alpha Wave (8hz to 9hz). Even though I had not yet realized how such brainwave worked on my sub-consciousness, I finally fell into deep sleep, with no more awakening in the middle of the night.

Then here is the question: is it exactly possible to apply Alpha Wave to inducing sleepiness?

Alpha Wave, one of the four fundamental brainwaves, has a frequency ranging from 8Hz to 12Hz. Such wave leads to a sub-conscious state of mind, where we stay relaxed, concentrative and full of inspirations. However, in a busy modern life we suffer continuous stress and exhaustion. It seems so impossible to slow down your pace to enjoy such an amusing state. For the increasing loss of Alpha Wave, our brains are either too alert or in a negative daze.

Low Speed Alpha Wave has a frequency from 8Hz to 9Hz, which stimulates a state at which one is nearly asleep and cannot think clearly. To generate such a frequency in one’s mind, binaural beats have come into use. For example, if the left ear is presented with a steady tone of 500Hz and the right ear a steady tone of 508Hz, these two tones combine in the brain. The difference, 8Hz, is perceived by the brain and is a very effective stimulus for brainwave entrainment.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.

Insomnia sufferers go through hell. We try many home cures for insomnia, hypnosis techniques, sleeping pills – both over the counter and prescription, biofeedback with led lights, binaural beat audio CDs, and all the rest. Pills only work for a number of weeks and then lose their power… meanwhile we become addicted to these poisons which have harmful side effects. Hypnosis is quite expensive, only works moderately well for some people and sequential sessions can be long running. Binaural beat audio is only partially effective for most people and headphones must be used. Trying to sleep with headphones on can be counterproductive to the effect.

In researching which is best among the more well known home cures for insomnia, there seems to be a simple science to the whole thing. The brainwave activity during sleep can be simply and safely induced by certain tones and pulses set at special frequencies which can induce certain waveform activities which allow restful sleep. Often, it can be quite impossible to calm the constant chatter in our minds and just sleep.

Isochronic pulse home therapy is just such a method, as headphones are not required, it is non-addictive, non-intrusive, has no ill side effects, is completely natural, and the sessions are only needed for a number of weeks until you reach the point when such is no longer needed – so there’s no kind of dependency factor involved. Of all home based treatments available, of all the cures for insomnia out there today, this type of remedy is the most basic, simple and safe.

Insomnia is becoming an increasingly common complaint which currently affects more than a third of all adults. People who suffer from insomnia experience poor-quality sleep and generally complain that they:
Have difficulty falling asleep.

Frequently wake during the night.

Have difficulty returning to sleep.

Wake up too early in the morning.

Feel un-refreshed in the mornings.

Sleep is a fairly complex process which is made up of two types of sleep, REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep and non-REM sleep. REM sleep is when we dream, non-REM sleep is divided into a further four stages. You may find that after a good night’s sleep that you feel refreshed and energized. Sleep enables you to restore and rejuvenate many functions of the mind and body. However, if you’re an insomniac you may find that you are not able to fall into the deeper stages of sleep, which is vital for restoration.

A person who suffers from insomnia may experience little or no sleep at night. Without sleep your immune system may weaken leaving you prone to illnesses. Sleep seems to organize memories, as well as helping you to recover them. It also helps restore muscular energy, and release growth hormones for proper physical and mental development. It may also cause problems during the day, such as tiredness, fatigue, lethargy, difficulty concentrating and irritability.

Insomnia can be categorized as transient, intermittent and chronic. However many sufferers will have experienced more than one type of it. Insomnia is found in males and females of all age groups, although it seems to be more common in females and in the elderly. The ability to sleep, rather than the need for sleep, appears to decrease with advancing age.

Contrary to what people think, insomnia is not defined by the number of hours a person sleeps. Generally as we get older, we tend to need less sleep. Babies might need between 10 to 14 hours a night and children between 9 to 12 hours sleep. The optimum amount of sleep for most adults is around 7 to 8 hours a night. Although as I said it really does differ from person to person, some people may need as few as 4 hours, or as many as 10 hours of sleep per night.

It is best not to resort to taking sleeping pills because they often cause side affects. Secondly the chemicals in prescribed sleeping pills can affect normal brainwave patterns during sleep. Thirdly as your body builds tolerance to them you may find that they no longer work. I could go on and on about the negative effects of taking sleeping pills.

If you absolutely have to take something, then consider a natural remedy. Consider Valerian extract or drinking a soothing and relaxing beverage at night such as warm milk or chamomile tea.

It’s true that most of us will suffer from a sleepless night at some point in our lives. However it’s important to take note and act if it becomes a reoccurring problem. Insomnia does not just develop overnight, it’s a conditioned habit. If we can deal with insomnia before it becomes a real issue, there’s a good chance it won’t develop any further.

First and foremost, consult a medical professional to rule out other sleep disorders such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy. It’s also important to diagnose and treat underlying medical or psychological problems such as depression as they may worsen your insomnia. Try behavioral techniques to improve sleep, such as relaxation therapy and also pay attention to your sleep habits (also known as sleep hygiene).

Insomnia is a tough cookie to crack. Sleep deprivation is a doubled edged sword which most of us fail to understand. There are two mechanisms that govern our sleep and daytime functionality

On one side you have the sleep mechanism and on the other you have the wakefulness mechanism. With a majority of insomniacs, the wakefulness mechanism often beats the sleep mechanism. This is usually due to a number of reasons. For one when our conscious mind is too awake at night, we find it nigh on impossible to sleep. Often this is due to excessive worry, stress or anxiety. Psychological disorders such as depression can also affect the ability to sleep.

It’s the subconscious that knows how to sleep, not the conscious mind. You may have tried, but it’s absolutely impossible to will yourself to sleep with the conscious mind. What’s more is lack of sleep is habit forming. In time your body and mind get use to not sleeping, you get used to the spiraling thoughts that keep you awake and sleeplessness becomes a habit.

To top it all off, sleep deprivation reinforces the inability to sleep. When we are exhausted in the day, we can sometimes sense that our body and brain wants to shut off. The only thing we can do is to fight the tiredness. You drink caffeine to keep you awake, you go get some fresh air, you force concentration, you try and wake yourself up anyway you can.

By fighting off sleep, you’re weakening your mechanism, it becomes a habit. Even when you’re completely exhausted and ready to sleep, your internal wakefulness mechanism keeps firing up from habit, breaking up sleep and keeping you awake. You’re natural ability to sleep is weakened and your sleep/wake cycle becomes imbalanced.

People wonder why sleep medication fail to work. Well for one, medication cannot substitute natural sleep. In fact the chemicals in sleeping pills affect brainwaves and disturb deep sleep. Deep sleep is the most essential stage for energy and restoration, without it, you will most probably wake feeling groggy, tired, dazed and irritable. Headaches and muscle aches are common symptoms of deprivation and light fragmented sleep.

It’s not surprising that in recent tests a placebo (sugar pill) had a far better impact on its test subjects than medication. It’s a myth that medication help you sleep faster and it’s a myth that it can improve sleep and daytime performance. What’s more, medication is addictive and unhealthy for the body and mind (it is a drug after all).

You might be thinking right now, that there is no hope, that if medication don’t work, what will? Insomnia is just as much a psychological disorder as it is a physical disorder. So it’s really essential for a sufferer to be treated on both the mind and body to successfully cure insomnia or at least improve sleep.
