This is one of the best sleep aid products I've encountered. It gives a straightforward scientific approach and at the same time the instructions are practical and very easy to follow.

The Yoga Nidra technique is very good and I always pass out cold. I find the voice very relaxing and the music supportive and complimentary.

I was having a very difficult time winding down and couldn't fall asleep. I think its all about practice, I feel that my body and mind are actually being re-educated.

Many thanks. I also got the other recordings on Sleep and relaxation by Dr. Shah- I find it helpful to do a different relaxation every night. I think this one is a good for beginners and a place to start from.

I am a careful consumer. Times are tight and I like to research an item before I purchase it. I read the reviews for this cd and they were mostly positive.
I have several sleep cds and wanted a new one...just for a change.
This one is really not very good.
Most sleep cds lead you into relaxation with breathing and focus on deepening relaxation. Usually soft background w/without subliminal messages play in the background.
The first cd starts right out assuming you are deeply relaxed and asleep within minutes! People that purchase these types of cds struggle with insomnia...sleep is illusive!
I stayed awake for the whole cd..part 1 and 2. And the background is the ocean. Which is distracting not relaxing.
I listenend to the second cd...which concentrates on relaxing your body by focus on each body part. This goes on forever!
Just overall...not a good balance. I would not purchase this again. And I will go back to Diane Bloomingfeld...who leads you into a deep state of relaxation the right way. So much for variation!

I've listened to what seems like hundreds of sleep aid CDs and products and none of them have ever worked--until I bought this album. I was extremely skeptical that it'd work but it did! Dr. Shah's voice is magic. I don't know how he does it but it works on me. I highly, highly, highly recommend this album to anyone who has problems falling asleep. My mind races constantly--it will not stop--except for when I put this album on. I hadn't realized how poorly I slept until this album. Thank you Dr. Shah and Music for Deep Sleep!

This is a wonderful and almost magical. It is easy to follow and very effective.

Im amazed of how something so simple can make such a big difference to my sleep. Since I started doing it I find I fall asleep much faster, sleep much deeper, and I wake up rested in the morning.

Its a wonderufl way to switch off and be able to guide yourself into deep sleep. Its also good value for a 2 Cd set, specially for something that actually works. Do recommend and totally worth it!

This 2 CD set is really good. I was out like a light halfway one of the meditations. I am curious to learn more about self hypnosis.
My favorite track is the second guided meditation and I like
the background sound of the ocean waves.
Very still.

I have been using this album for about two weeks now. I have been fairly stressed and had trouble falling asleep. I am also a light sleeper, who would awaken at any number of sounds during the night, then need upwards of hours to get back to sleep. Top it off with a hip injury that would start throbbing if I slept on the wrong side, and I was having a seriously hard time getting a decent rest.

I thought if I could at least relax my body and shut my brain off, I may be able to sleep better. I have done yoga nidra in the past as just a straight meditation and really loved it. This meditation has exceeded my expectations. I am falling to sleep fairly quickly - usually before the CD ends, and I am sleeping through the whole night. I really didn't think that was possible. The first few days felt very strange -- I don't remember being this rested! It has been fantastic. I hope this works as well for anyone else buying this meditation.

I love meditation and this CD is a wonderful addition to my collection.
The voice of Dr. Shah is deep and pleasant and I definitely notices a deeper rest
when meditating before going to bed.
The yoga nidra relaxation is also very effective in centering the mind and relaxing the body.

While decent enough for a self hypnosis aid, this item was (as one other user also commented) 'not what I expected'. Shouldn't there be music in a piece titled 'Music for Deep Sleep', even if it is guided meditation??? The waves in the background are nice enough, but there is no actual calming, instrumental music like I was expecting.. Thanks Dr., but yeah.. If you are considering buying this item, don't be fooled by the title and the eastern sounding name. What I hear is a white guy in a suit reading a script... I did not even find the voice all that soothing (or lets just say there are better out there [ Release Your Fears by Kathy Karlander is nice- although not specifically about sleep]). If you like waves (and I do, but I was looking for music in this case-or music in the background) and a white, strait, average male voice (not deep and soothing or an accent)... Then this one is for you!
