only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
I used to sit and watch TV all night long, thinking I was the only person in the world who couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t until I got online and began chatting with other insomniacs that I realized how many people suffer with this. None of us had any real solutions but at least now I know I’m not alone.
Over the years I’ve tried one insomnia cure after another. Needless to say, none have worked consistently. After all, here I am at almost midnight, still wide awake. So why might I be interested in a cure that is based on a CD? Well, I guess it’s because it makes sense to me.
This CD offered at sleep-deprivation-cd.com is based on binaural beats, sounds at 8-12hz that help to relax you. The technique of using sounds at this frequency range dates back to 1839, although it’s been only recently that the process has been applied to an insomnia cure.
I know that sounds have amazing effects on all creatures. I still have a doggy lullaby CD that I used quite a bit to keep Belle calm, especially when she was in heat that first year. And I still believe it was the “white noise” of the vacuum cleaner and the dryer that often soothed my kids when they were infants.
So that’s why I’m so interested in this site. Getting only 4 or 5 hours of sleep every night takes its toll on the body. I think, too, that this sleep deprivation contributes to my headaches and other ailments. Sleep is so important for every part of your health, from mental acuity to ability to lose or maintain weight.
I really want to try this CD. The price has been reduced and they’re even offering free shipping which makes it even more tempting. I’m going to give this insomnia another night or two to straighten up on its own but if it doesn’t I’m placing an order. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I use alternative medicines to get to sleep at night… perhaps some that I shouldn’t mention here…
Boy, howdy. I have watched so many infomercials at 3am it’s not even funny (fortunately, in addition to being an insomniac, I’m an incredible pinch-penny, so I don’t have to rent a trailer to store all of my infomercial stuff). I know just how you feel. Exercise helps, as does being vigilant with my caffeine intake. Good luck. Not being able to sleep does take a toll on the body (and the mind, and the spirit, and the wife). I wish you pleasant dreams.
Oh, and I love your big hair picture. Awesome.
I really feel for you, i’ve nevr suffered insomnia myself but my husband does a bit, he doesn’t really watch tv all night, he just lays there awake worrying about the most insignificent things.
I just think he drinks too much coffee during the day!!
good luck.
Oh, the big hair. I forgot that picture was even there! It sure was an interesting decade. I thought the 70s were bad with the hip hugger 40 inch bell bottoms and ironing my hair straight. Who knew I’d be doing 40 inch shoulders (thanks to linebacker shoulder pads) and teasing my curls to the ceiling?
I’ve cut down on my coffee intake, too. Doesn’t help much, unfortunately.
