Be aware Speed Sleep II only has the short nap program. It does not contain the nighttime sleep program. I suffer from chronic insomnia and in early 2010 I decided to try the Speed Sleep Program. Once I made that decision I then had to choose between buying I or II. After I read numerous reviews and the product descriptions for both, I decided to buy Speed Sleep II for Health and Fitness because one of the product descriptions explicitly said it contains the same material as the original Speed Sleep program, but with positive reinforcement of good eating habits. Well apparently the statement "the beginning and ending are identical" refers only to the first track of Speed Sleep, not the entire album (nap program, nighttime program). Since the last section of the nap program is a voice telling you to reverse your journey and wake up, it isn't very helpful to someone hoping to fall asleep for the night. My main problem is the difference between what I thought I was getting (a nap and a nighttime program) and what I received (a nap program only). I just want potential new buyers to be aware of this major difference between Speed Sleep and Speed Sleep II.

I ordered Speedsleep II approximately two weeks ago. It arrived promptly and I have used it nearly every day. I am beginning to feel more energy, find myself making better food selections, and am now able to get up earlier everyday and exercise. I am very impressed! As a family practitioner, I have referred many patients to a local hypnotherapist and have seen good results. I also have had hypnotherapy with good, but temporary, effectveness. Your product has been so successful for me because I have been able to repeatedly use it. Thanks!
As a physician, I would rather recommend a CD to a patient
with ineffective sleep habits that write a prescription.

I must say that this product lives up to it's name (SPEED SLEEP) because the first 5-6 minutes of this is awesome. Going through the routine it makes you feel so good and relax that you suddenly want to fall asleep and sometimes you just can't make it through the whole 26 minutes of the CD. As for how well it works with health and fitness I am not sure if I see any results except that I do get a great nights sleep and wake up with more energy than before.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try anything new and looking to get a great nights sleep.

I purchased both Speed Sleep and Speed Sleep II. I opened Speed Sleep II first because I was pressed for time... and here's my experience with it.

First, the "sleep" benefits. The CD gets me into a very relaxed state both physically and mentally. I don't know how to explain it and will leave the mechanics or theory to other reviewers. What I can tell you is that I have listened to it about 12 times now and each time that I do, I "awake" completely refreshed. Although I don't believe that I have fallen completely asleep during this tape, I definitely come out of it with renewed energy, which is the point of taking a nap anyway, isn't it? .

Second, the "diet" benefits. I had no idea that there were positive reinforcement messages on the CD. At several points, things are said like "I will make healthy choices..." and "I have a strong beating heart and strong muscles." (these are not verbatim quotes) I do find that I am making better choices even in simple things like choosing water over diet soda and eating healthier food than I typically have. Yes I do need to lose weight and I believe this CD has kick-started that effort.

Third, all the other benefits. I have been more calm and even-keeled, both in interacting with my young kids and at work. My stress level is pretty much gone. I have much more mental clarity than before, and I am getting WAY more work done than ever before.

Bottom line it works, and it works great for me. Coworkers have asked if I've been on a vacation or something because I look and act much more relaxed. It's one thing for me to THINK this works (i.e, the placebo effect)... but when OTHER people notice a change in me, I am CONVINCED it works.

I put this onto my mp3 player (the nap version) and used it when flying.

it helped me to snooze right from the take off for about 25 minutes or so. very calming and relaxing.

Speed II is the best one. Speed sleep 1 takes you thru the same "power nap" exercise that is on #II? #1 has some add on that should be on a cd alone.

Whenever my mind is too busy to sleep, I put this on and it works

This product worked for me, probably because I once used a hypnotist to lose weight. Imagery is good, if you can relax enough to let it spin without conscious thought. My only problem is that I wanted this to get to sleep for the whole night, and the return was about 60 minutes. Still, I rested very well, and fell asleep a short time later.

I ordered Speedsleep II as sort of an afterthought add-on to some book purchases. I can't really say that this CD has made me better looking or even given me extra energy but I can confirm that minutes after listening to this CD I do achieve a nice rested sleep both at bedtime and occasionally during the day when I want to take a quick nap. That alone is worth the price and the possibility that my mind is receiving some words of mental nourishment is an added bonus.

The CD does not help in falling asleep. I don't see what other benefits it might have.
