I think a product such as this is hard to review because I suspect that a remedy that works for some people won't necessarily work for others. That said, I will relate what the cd did for me. I go through frequent phases where I cannot get to sleep easily, sometimes lying awake for hours with my mind constantly working. Other times, I awaken hours before I'm ready to and have difficulties getting back to sleep.

The instructions on using this cd recommend that you listen to it while you are awake and not when you are ready for bed. I did this only one time during the day. Since then, I've listened to it with a portable cd player with headphones after I get in bed on nights that I suspect that I will have problems going to sleep. Each time, I fall asleep way before the cd ends but I'm always able to wake up and turn the player off and then go back to sleep. I've noticed that I always sleep my entire 7-8 hours without interruption and I awaken fully relaxed and refreshed. Since listening to the cd each night for one week, I stopped using it and I've slept well since. On the occassional night when I don't feel sleepy at bedtime, I listen to it again and I'm asleep within 20 minutes.

Now I'm thinking about trying the author's hypnosis cd that helps you to remember!

I had forgotten what that phrase meant until I started using this CD. I have an extremely stressful job and a disabled husband, so needless to say I find it difficult to turn my head off and relax when my very long day finally comes to an end. I have tried meditation, breathing techniques, yoga, over the counter medicines and perscription drugs to acheive the ever-elussive "good -night's-sleep" - all to no avail. I felt like I was throwing my money down a hole, and was begining to think that I was doomed to spend the rest of my life in a state of chronic physical exhaustion and mental fatigue. I have found my salvation in this little disc. Ms. Decker's voice is so soothing and yet firm enough to command consentration. The first time I used it, I felt the days stress just melt off of me and the next thing I knew it was morning! I am thrilled to report that I am sleeping better than I have in years!

I am completely surprised at how well this CD worked for me. I've been having sleep disturbances for several years now. I did not like taking sleep medication so I thought I had nothing to lose by trying hypnosis. I have spent so much money, first on over the counter medicines then on doctors and prescriptions and I figured it was worth the $... to me to try something else. I am so glad I did. I emailed Ms. Decker and asked her how to best use this CD to get the best result. She emailed me back within 24 hours and told me all suggestions to the subconscious mind need to be reinforced over and over in order to have a really powerful impact so it was best to listen to it daily, if possible, and if not then as often as possible for about 3 weeks no matter how good I was doing from the first. I started to sleep better from the first time I used it but I kept on listening to the CD like Ms. Decker said nearly everyday for 3 weeks. Each night I slept better and better until finally I sleep all night through now and I feel rested when I wake up. I don't understand how it works or why it works, and I don't know if it works for everyone but it sure worked for me. I think this CD is well worth trying if you don't sleep well. For me it was the best $... I ever spent.

I have recently purchased Hypnosis to Help You Sleep Deeply by Janet I. Decker, C.HT. This is my second purchase in Decker's set of Hypnotic Empowerment Series. I had such success with her Hypnosis for Memory and Recall, I decided to try this one. I've had trouble sleeping well for years and can't remember the last time of waking up in the morning with that refreshed and really rested feeling. I have trouble going to sleep, wake up several times a night, and have a hard time getting up in the morning. This Hypnosis to Help You Sleep Deeply CD is extremely relaxing. It's an interesting experience of deep relaxation, concentration on relaxed breathing, and hearing Janet Decker's calm voice of affirmations of sleeping better. At the end of the session, you have the option of coming back up to a state to continue with your day's tasks, but refreshed, or, drifting off to sleep. It can also be used to help you sleep better if you work at night and have to sleep during the day (I've been there before too). What's also good about this Hypnosis is that you are deeply relaxed and sort of tranced, but fully aware of your surroundings and can respond to any emergencies or situation that needs your full attention. So, it feels safe. Last night, on listening to the CD, I did drift off into a pleasant sleep but the listening to the CD itself was extremely pleasant also. Anyone out there who needs to relax, this one's for you!

I've had chronic insomnia since childhood, and I have several good tapes and cds for relaxation and sleep. There are some nights when nothing works, but I think this cd by Janet Decker helps me more often than any other. She speaks in an ordinary, pleasant voice, and there is no background music. After some introductory breathing and relaxation, she has you focus on your breathing and repeat this phrase over and over in your mind : 'Breathing in I relax, breathing out I feel comfort', while she continues repeating various suggestions aimed at helping you sleep. On my first listen, I thought having to think 'Breathing in I relax, breathing out I feel comfort' would require too much effort and prevent me from falling asleep; but I find that by giving me something simple to focus my attention on, it actually helps keep my mind from compulsive thoughts about stuff I need to do, things I'm worried about, or anything else that might contribute to keeping me awake. She says the suggestions may not work if you fall asleep while listening, but if I fall asleep while listening, that's good enough for me!
The relaxation meditation is similar to the sleep meditation, but focuses more on progressive muscle relaxation.

I listened to the CD and was wide awake during the playing of the CD and then after I turned the CD off and put my head on my pillow I was sound asleep and woke up feeling refreshed. I've had sleeping problems for over a year now and I use Ambien and the CPAP machine to help me sleep but this tape really helped me to wake up feeling refreshed. I'm glad I bought it.

This CD has been very helpful to me. The voice is nice, the rhythm is good, and the suggestions are very good! I was uncertain about buying it due to a "Spotlight Review" by: Karen, however, I needed help to sleep and have tried other things with no result. Unlike Karen I did not find the "disclaimer" to be annoying. It's less than a minute long and having worked in the legal field for many years, I can understand why it has to be the first thing you hear before the actual hypnosis begins. Too many people don't read disclaimers, so I don't consider this to be poor editing, but rather a smart move on the part of Ms. Decker. The other thing I thought was very good about this CD is the length of each track. Some CD's I've tried for various things are up to 45 minutes long. This is far too time consuming for me. My schedule is full and I need something effective which is no more than 30 minutes in duration, therefore I find the tracks on Decker's CD's to be of perfect length. Decker's speaking pace is quite perfect for facilitating relaxation. I do seem to find my own breathing rhythm, which is what most everyone does and is supposed to do, according to the instructions which I received by emailing the company. Most importantly of all, I am sleeping better. I am also using Decker's "Hypnosis for Stress Reduction" along with her "Sleep Deeply" CD and honestly I am much calmer everyday. This may be why I'm sleeping better as well. I find them to be a dynamite combination and well worth trying if you have sleeping difficulties.

I have tried a dozen different programs to help with my sleep issues and this is BY FAR the best hypnosis program I have ever used. Janet's voice is soothing and her autosuggestions are very effective. Since starting this program I have regained restful, rejuvenating sleep and I feel great. It has helped me in all facets of my life and I will continue using it as a relaxation CD. I encourage anyone who has problems sleeping to buy this product immediately!

This is the first time I've tried a hypnosis CD and I am very pleased with this CD. Janet's voice is very soothing. Her suggestions on the CD put me in a state of relaxation. I fall into restful asleep very quickly with this CD playing in the background. I hope it will help you too.

I found this cd by accident and it changed my life. The power of suggestion is amazing. "You will hear the noise but it will not bother you.", You will wake up feeling rested and relaxed..." Now I am breathing, relaxing, sleeping, and living again. Janet has a very pleasing and soothing voice.
