I suffered from a
insomnia for a long
time. All the doctors I consulted assured me there was nothing wrong with me
physically, My problem, they told me, was an
"over-active mind".
What
they said was absolutely correct.
When I went to bed, I found it impossible
to relax and "switch my mind off" completely.
My
brain was over-active. Images would continually race through my
mind. Disturbing, restless thoughts made sleep
impossible. One image would trigger off another in a
never-ending cycle.
It
was very frustrating. After hours of tossing and turning,
desperately trying to sleep, I would finally
fall asleep from sheer exhaustion.
My doctors could suggest only one "reliable"
remedy - sleeping pills.
I
had heard so many negative reports about sleeping pills from scientific
articles I had read and from friends, I asked the Doctors
to be specific about possible side effects and potential dangers.
Side effects of sleeping pills
The answers again were
vague, very
much the same and not very satisfying:
"Different people experience
different side effects. There is no absolute certainty
knowing what the side effects are going to be."
I continued asking
questions, anxious to know if there was any particular sleeping
pill known to be less harmful than others; any brand they
could recommend.
The answers were never very
satisfying:
"Unfortunately you'll have to
experiment with different types of sleeping pills until your
find something suitable for you.."
I wasn't happy with these answers, so I
went on to the internet and checked the side effects of various
well-known sleeping pills for myself.
I
was shocked!
There was a huge list of
possible side effects with every well known make:
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF
SLEEPING PILLS
Dizziness ...
Allergic conditions...
Reduced concentration when driving...
Headaches ...
Depression ...
Amnesia...
Feelings of confusion...
Abdominal and muscle cramps...
Hallucinations...
Aggression...
Lack
of coordination ...
Abnormal dreams...
and a long list of other harmful conditions.
The list of side-effects was enough to discourage me
completely about using sleeping pills.
What concerned me even more than the many side
effects,
was the danger of addiction. I was worried that once I started with sleeping pills I wouldn't
be able to stop using them.
I felt that
there was a real danger I would
become totally dependent on sleeping pills every night.
I discussed my reluctance to
use sleeping pills with the Doctors. They were sympathetic,
but all they could offer as an alternative for sleeping
pills were general sleep recommendations.
They gave me a
pamphlet:
"15 Useful Aids to
encourage sleep"
This was a
list of general recommendations to help me fall
asleep at night:
-
Don't' have a heavy meal
with a lot of alcohol before going to bed,
-
Don't drink tea, coffee,
or any substance with caffeine before bed.
-
Make sure your bedroom
is quiet, warm and dray
-
Avoid unnecessary sleep
disturbing draughts
-
Make sure your bedroom
is sufficient darkened
-
If you are sensitive to
noise change your sleeping conditions
-
Try a warm bath before
going to bed
-
Go to bed at the same time
every night
-
Even at week-ends, get
up at the same time as usual
-
Listen to soothing music
before going to bed
-
Don't take short
naps
during the day
-
Spend at least a half an
hour in daylight during the day
-
Have a glass of warm
milk before going to bed
-
Make sure your bed is
comfortable - not too hard or soft.
-
Don't watch an exciting
movie before going to bed.
I
tried all these simple suggestions, most of which I had heard about
before. But they were of very little
help. I needed far more effective solutions to solve my
sleep problems.
What I needed was a really effective
SLEEP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM; one
that would have the same effect as quick-acting sleeping
pills, but without any of the unpleasant harmful side effects
I needed an effective system that would enable me to
"switch off" as soon as I went to bed, encourage my
mind go blank and allow me to fall into a deep, comforting,
relaxing sleep.
It was clear to me that in
order develop a Sleep Management System as effective as this, it
would be necessary to know a great deal more about the nature and
function of sleep.
So I began an intensive
study about everything that had ever been written about
sleep.
MY
IN-DEPTH STUDY OF SLEEP
I researched every scientific and medical journal I could find on that
dealt with the subject of sleep.
I studied dozens of books
written by eminent psychologists, self-help books; books written by people who specialized in various fields of
psychosomatic medicine and also books that dealt with
various forms of alternative medicine.
At times I felt discouraged
and thought of giving up what seemed to be an impossibly difficult
task.
What encouraged me
to continue in my search for a really effective sleep
management system, were the many stories I
read of people who had suffered from very serious
illnesses, but had made miraculous recoveries because of the
strength of their will.
They had cured themselves by using
various techniques that focused
on the power
of the mind.
I had the feeling
that if really serious medical conditions could be cured
without drugs, but by the power of a person's mind, then surely it should
be possible to cure a very unpleasant, but certainly a far less
serious disorder like
insomnia.
What was
needed were special mental exercises and techniques to accomplish this.
I
examined the subject of insomnia from every possible
angle and experimented with a combination of different methods.
Success at last!
Finally, after months of
experimenting with a wide variety of different methods, I
was finally able to devise, develop and perfect a range of
highly original techniques.
I started using these unusual methods
and was delighted to find them exceptionally effective in
solving my sleep problems.
It was very satisfying indeed to
find I was able to to fall asleep as soon as I went to bed.
In fact, I started to fall asleep as soon as my head touched the
pillow. The techniques I devised worked every time.
Because
I felt there were others, with sleep problems, who would benefit
from these completely original and quite unique methods as much as
I had, I wrote an e-book, setting out all the techniques in explicit
detail.
I decided to make
the e-book available on the internet at a very affordable price of $29.95.
This is the e-book I wrote and
advertised on the internet.
The response was immediate
and overwhelming.
It was very gratifying indeed to find that virtually every person
with sleep problems, who bought the e-book, found the techniques
worked as well for them as they had done for me.
Here are extracts of just a few of the
many letters received. They came from people living in many
parts of the world who bought the e-book and found the techniques worked
as well for them as they had for me.
When
I saw your e-book advertised on the web I had my doubts
whether your "insomnia cure" methods would work
for me because I have had problems with insomnia for so
long..... but I thought it was worth taking a chance buying
the book. In any event I knew there was a refund
guarantee so there was no real risk. Boy am I glad I
did! Your methods really do work! I now sleep
comfortably every night.... something I haven't done for a
long time. Thanks a lot!

And
here is a letter from a person
in England who also found these techniques worked
exceptionally well
for him.
I
have wanted to write to you for a long time and tell you
what a difference your valuable techniques have made to my
sleep pattern. I used to have tremendous
problems due to my insomnia which had been with me for a
long time. I almost resigned myself to accepting my
condition. Now the pattern has changed completely.
When I go to sleep I know that within a short time I am
definitely going to fall asleep.
My
grateful thanks.

A
letter from a lady in Australia, is reproduced below:
If ever
money was well spent it was definitely when I decided to buy
your sleep solution e-book. It has been of enormous
help to me. It has given me a sense of independence
knowing that the solution is in my hands. I do not
feel out of control as I used to, having to rely
on pills to put me to sleep.

An
extract from a letter from a lady in Canada who also found
the methods very helpful indeed.
At last I'm beginning to
enjoy life again! What a wonderful feeling being
able to enjoy the luxury of a good night's
sleep! I found the methods described so
clearly I was able to use them immediately.
My health
has improved and people remark how much better I
am looking.
Grateful thanks.
