Here’s a couple of readers’ questions and my answers…

I am very pleased with the encouragemnet and hope you have given me concerning sleep i have almost given up. But I want ask this question as the Dr. is weaning off the drug I sleep and keep waking up several times in the night can all this symptoms go with sometime?. please am worried. Can this herbal remedy normalised the sleep for me?

Hi Miranda

It is perfectly normal to wake up a few times during the night when weaning off sleeping pills, but this should not last forever. You will find that you will gradually regain your original sleep patterns. If you have not already, read the page – getting off sleeping pills which will explain how best do this. There are two options. brainwave entrainment or natural remedies. Or you could just wait it out which some people prefer to do.

All the best

 I have chronic insomnia. I’ve had insomnia for a long time but the past three years have been the worst in my life. Trust me when I say I have tried everything, every pill, reading, music and million other things. Nothing works. I’m miserable in the day and can’t asleep at night. But there has to be something that does. I can’t go on like this. I’m unemployed, have no insurance and need some serious sleep. What can I do? Thanks

Hi Josh

I know it’s horrible isn’t it? Can you remember what was happening when the insomnia started? Was there some stress in your life at the time?
I have two suggestions that you can try. One is EFT for insomnia the other is listen to a  brainwave entrainment CD. What this does is literally lower your brainwaves allowing you to relax more and allowing you to fall asleep. It distacts your mind from worrying about sleeping, so that you’ll relax enough to drop off (works for me!)

EFT works on the energy merdians of the body and you don’t have to believe in it for it to work. Just practice it each night before bed and see if it helps. EFT has had great success with stress and many Vietnam vets have been helped with this practice.

Hope this has helped a bit.
