Product Description

Do you have trouble falling asleep? solve your sleep problems - naturallynightwave sleep assistant eliminates tossing and turning and helps you fall asleep naturally. you get the rest you need to feel great in the morning.how does nightwave work?nightwave silently guides you in a pre-sleep relaxation session in the privacy of your own bedroom. it’s like having your own personal sleep coach.nightwave projects a soft blue light into your darkened bedroom. the "luminance" of the light slowly rises and falls. you lie with eyes open and synchronize your breathing with the wave of soft light as its movement becomes slower and slower. after a short time, nightwave shuts off and you roll over and fall asleep. and unlike sound machines, the soft light does not disturb others. if you currently take prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids, the money you spend on just one co-pay gives you years of sleep assistance with nightwave because the only thing you refill is batteries.why does nightwave work?nightwave works so well because it quiets the mind and relaxes the body. with nightwave, a gentle focus on an external cue gives you an escape from the overactive mind. nightwave provides your active mind something gentle to focus on. nightwave takes the thought and anxiety out of the sleep hygiene and relaxation techniques taught by clinical psychologists.nightwave calms the body by activating the relaxation (parasympathetic) branch of the nervous system. it does this using the only non-drug method known, deep breathing. this ancient relaxation technique was first validated in western science by dr. herbert benson from harvard medical school in the 1970s. proper breathing also reduces the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the blood which makes way for the secretion of melatonin. clinical research shows that melatonin and cortisol possess an inverse relationship to one another. dr. andrew weil md says that proper breathing is the master key to vibrant health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet dreams from the Nightwave, July 11, 2008

By 

Mary Ehly "Grandma Mary" (Salem, Oregon, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

Last year, I started having a lot of trouble sleeping. When my head hit the pillow, my mind would start reviewing the to-do list that got longer every day. After too many sleepless nights, it began to feel like I was just too tired to fall sleep.

Nothing helped. A therapist/friend told me about the NightWave, and I gave it a try even though I didn't have much hope left.

When I turned on the NightWave that first night, I watched its soft, blue light reflecting on my ceiling. As the light grew larger and smaller, I felt my breathing start to calm down and my eyes getting sleepy. I dozed off - but woke up again after a few minutes. It didn't seem to be working for me, but I gave it one more try. I turned it on again - and again watched the calming blue light grow large and small and felt my breathing fall into the same easy rhythm. Next thing I knew; it was morning! I'd had my first good night's sleep in months.

After three weeks of peaceful nights, it felt like my body's rhythms were reset.

When my granddaughter came to visit us, she was nervous that first night and had trouble settling down. I turned on my soft, blue light for her, and we both relaxed and fell asleep.

Now that I'm sleeping again, I've had enough energy left over to pursue a lifelong dream. I've writen a series of books for other grandparents to read to their grandchildren. Someday (soon) I hope to have those books here on Amazon.com too.

NightWave helped me to have sweet dreams - day and night.

5.0 out of 5 stars A novel concept that works for me, March 28, 2009

By 

Bruce Smith (Left coast, USA) - See all my reviews

NightWave Sleep Assistant As a former airline pilot who has lived a life of jet lag and interrupted circadian rhythm, I was very interested to hear of and try the NightWave. This product works in 3 ways: it projects a soft, slowly pulsing blue light which, 1) draws your mental focus, to the exclusion of unwanted distracting thoughts, and, 2) acts as a cue for breathing slowly, monotonously, from the diaphragm, which slows you physically. The third effect is, 3) it hypnotically lulls you asleep with your eyes open. As it slowly grows dimmer and brighter, the light tells your brain your eyelids are drooping closed - you really can't tell the difference - until they really are. It tricks your brain! Has a 7 minute cycle that auto shuts off. The 25 minute cycle I've never tried, nor needed. I've also heard that this device has been clinically demonstrated to lower blood pressure. I have bought a NightWave for all my relatives. It's that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sleep At Last, July 13, 2008

By 

George - See all my reviews

Since having an accident which resulted in constant pain, I have had a constant problem falling and staying asleep. I had used a sound machine to help, but the results were not consistant. The Nightwave unit works very well for me. When I first tried it, I used the long program, but I found that I did not need it. I use the short program and find that I fall asleep very quickly. If I wake up during the night, I have found that if I just use the Nightwave breathing techniques, without moving and turning the unit back on, I am able to fall back asleep. After going without a good night's sleep for almost 4 years, the Nightwave Sleep Assistant has been wonderful. If you have trouble sleeping, try the Nightwave Sleep Assistant. It sure works for me.
