Okay, I know everyone has different problems going to sleep but I have to say that this has blown my mind completely. My particular problem sleeping is that i will litterally lay in bed for hours tossing and turing and my mind WILL NOT shut down. It seem that night time is the time that I've alway reved up, or decided that I can't stand my closet being unorganized one second longer so I've been to several doctor and exausted the medicene avilible. They work for a while then don't anymore. With this CD I just get sleepy and go to sleep. The first night that I had it i was so nervous and sckeptical that i figited though most of it and then decided that it wasn't working, turned it off, and got up.. but amazingly when i got up i felt the way i usually feel when i've been sleeping (kinda drowsy) so i went back and laid down and thirty mins later i was asleep (usually takes me 2 or 3 hours) the next night i chilled out and just layed there and listened when it was over i turned off the recorder and put up the headphones and turned over and went to sleep. Recently it's been working so well that I don't even make it though the whole thing and wake up with the headphones laying next to me. It Works! If your very skeptical like me, and you don't have success the first night stick with it a couple of times before you give up.. it really does get the job done.. i don't know anything about Hypnosis other than it sounded neat so i don't have a professional opinion about it but i can honestly say after i just gave in and gave it a real shot it's been the best sleep aid i've ever had.

There are two kinds of insomnia. The first is the one everyone knows about, which is trouble falling sleep. The second kind of insomnia is trouble staying asleep. This means waking in the night or waking up early.

If you have chronic insomnia you should look into treating the causes of it instead of just covering it up with medication or hypnosis. The book "Say Goodnight To Insomnia" which is also available on amazon.com was written by a Harvard psychologist, is backed up by the most established scientific research, is very effective and it is holistic. In addition to getting you to sleep it will also make you healthier and happier.

This CD deals very well with the first type of insomnia. It will put you to sleep. However, it is very weak on the second type of insomnia.

I used it several times after having a two week period where I could only sleep about 2 hours a night. The CD would get me into a deep sleep, but then I would awaken with a jolt of tension a few hours later.

I recently tried it again after several weeks of sleeping close to normal ( thanks to the afforemention book ) and slept through the night.

Glen Harrold is a very talented hypnotist. I could hear his suggestions in my mind even after not listening to his CD for several days.

Based on the powerful effects I felt from this CD I would try his other CDs.

Be warned, this CD has a second tract that deals with productive dreaming, that will automatically play if you keep your CD player running.

You need to wear headphones to get the full effect of this hypnotherapy CD. The liner notes warn you to be careful about wrapping the headphone leads around your neck because you may fall asleep before the CD ends. This is exactly what happened to me, so I stopped using headphones.

I'm missing out on the "hypnotic echoed affirmations" without the headphones, but at least I won't accidentally strangle myself in my sleep.

One thing that might keep you awake initially is the hypnotherapist Glenn Harrold's incredible Cockney accent. Maybe I've watched "My Fair Lady" one too many times, but when I initially started listening to "Deep Sleep Every Night," I kept expecting Henry Higgins to cut in with, "My dear man, the rain in Spain stays mainly on...etc."

An annoying intrusion (not Henry Higgins!) that might wake you up after you've fallen asleep is the beginning of the second track, "Lucid Dreams for Problem Solving." I believe track two was originally a separate tape, and Mr. Harrold reverts back to his normal speaking voice when the track begins. He's jolted me awake a couple of times, but I've always gone back to sleep as he reverts to his sonorous, repetitive murmurings.

The total CD running time is forty-three minutes, and I haven't stayed away through the whole thing, yet. There's nothing too mysterious about it: Mr. Harrold starts out with controlled breathing exercises, then onto suggestions about relaxing various parts of the body from head to toes, then a soothing, repetitious murmur about the conscious mind versus the unconscious mind. This is where I always fall asleep--until the second track begins.

If you have problems falling asleep, you might want to give this CD a try. It seems to be working for me.

I read reviews but don't ever write them BUT I just had to write one on this cd to give hope to people who have insomnia.

My therapist recommend this cd because some of her other clients raved about it.
I didn't have much hope as I tried other sleep cds and they didn't help my constant lack of sleepiness due to extreme stress and worrying. I bought this cd and not expecting anything but to waste my money (hey after all it's a cd, what can a cd do?) And I tell you this thing is a miracle and I can't stop talking about it. I feel more relaxed and am able to have a comfortable, relaxing, deep sleep. I used to wake up with headaches EVERY SINGLE MORING FOR YEARS and with the help of this cd I am having restful nights and no longer suffering form the headaches that used to plague me from lack of sleep.

I love his voice/accent and I am definitely going to try some of his other cds!!

I have not gotten to the second part of the cd yet - I fall asleep too soon!!

Outstanding recording quality. Effective, clear, energetic voice. Helped clear the day's chaos and nervous energy from my mind.

An audio hypnosis sleep cd. seems like a frivolous use of money ... It goes against common sense.

But it is way worth it. In fact, if it works as well for you as it did for me, it is a cheap long term investment!

Personally, I am all about trying *any* alternative to pharmacological intervention to stress-related conditions like insomnia. This CD offers a good supplement.

I am not a doctor, but I am a patient. Recordings like this help turn self-destructive mental patterns around. If you suffer from anxiety and stress that keep you up at night, this is a great help. If you sleep better, consequently daily struggles seem a whole lot more managable.

I hope it works for you.

I have a small collection of relaxation/sleep tapes and CDs and this one is probably my favorite. I agree with one reviewer about the speaker's English accent, but one very quickly habituates to the accent and actually, it becomes very pleasant and part of the whole relaxing experience. This CD helps me get to deep very readily, as promised. Very good!

I am extremely happy with this CD. I have used various relaxation tapes and now CDs and they sometimes worked. I can count on Deep Sleep Every Night working, as long as I stay focused on the CD and don't let my mind wander. I've never heard the end, since I'm sawing logs by then! I've ordered a couple more of Harrold's tapes to see if they work as well!

I have had difficulty sleeping for about two years. I have used this CD for 10 days now and I have had wonderful sleep for each one of them. I listened to it for three nights straight. I didn't need it the fourth night. One night I did wake up and I used it to go back to sleep. I wish I had tried hypnosis sooner.

I do understand that some people might be distracted by his voice and the echo sound effects of his voice. It did not bother me. If you need help sleeping it is really worth a try. I do use headphones (earbud type) and tell myself as he is starting that I will take them out of my ears the first time I roll over. That suggestion had worked for me. Good luck.

*An update after more than a year (Nov 07). This is still working for me. Now, I especially like track two, which deals with nightmares (Lucid Dreams). You either change the content to something non scary or wake yourself up, and then go back to sleep. Frankly I did not listen to this track for a long time because I thought it was silly and would not work. But at some point I gave it a try and it was helpful. I would guess I listen to it about once a month. And I never listen to the other track anymore, I no longer need it.

In addition my youngest child (13) started having trouble sleeping. I suggested she use Deep Sleep, a typical teenager, she protested loudly. But she got desperate and gave it a try and it works for her. My nineteen year old uses it too. I hope others find it as helpful as my family has!

I HAVE HAD INSOMNIA FOR YEARS...HAVE GONE FOR MONTHS AT A TIME WITH NO SLEEP AT ALL. I MUST OWN EVERY SLEEP HYPNOSIS TAPE
EVER MADE, BUT THIS ONE IS MAGICAL...IT JUST WORKS. GLENN HARROLD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING, HOW TO PUT YOU "UNDER"...PART
OF THE TAPE IS LUCID DREAMING, AND I MUST ADMIT MY DREAMS HAVE BECOME INCREDIBLE...I CREATE AMAZING INVENTIONS, AND HAVE WONDERFUL BUSINESS IDEAS IN MY DREAMS, AND I REMEMBER THEM..
BUT MAINLY,MAINLY, MAINLY, I FINALLY CAN SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

I bought the tapes Deep Sleep Every Night and A Guided Meditation several years ago and had to give them away because his voice is distracting and irritating. They did not help me relax at all. Some other reviewers seem to like his CDs, so I would definitely listen to demos before I purchased the CDs.
