I bought this CD for my husband, who is a computer programmer. He often complained that by the middle of the day, his mind felt burnt out after a morning of staring at the computer screen. He has limited time for breaks, so napping is not easy. When I found this CD, I thought it would be worth a try.

And... it works. He loves it. Even the 10 minute nap revives him, and he gets to start the second half of his work day feeling brand new. (He naps in his car.) I have to say... he comes home in a much better frame of mind, too... so, it's improved both of our lives! Definitely worth it.

I enjoy it myself, although I don't use it as often. I was concerned about falling asleep and not waking back up, but it's easy to wake back up with the chimes at the end of each track. I enjoy all of Dr. Thompson's work, but this is probably the best for people who need a refresher in the middle of their workday, and don't have much time for it. The delta waves take the listener into a deep sleep. Even 10 minutes makes a BIG difference.

It took a little while to get used to it, but I've grown to love this CD.
As mentioned in other reviews, it has three tracks of 10, 20 and 30 minutes; which are ended with nice bell sounds. The music is relaxing and beautiful.
I only gave it four stars because in my personal opinion the naps could have been a bit longer, maybe 20, 30 and 40. Many times at the end of the 10 minute one I've still felt very tired and continue on the next one!
But obviously we are not all created equal and I'm sure some others would be just fine with a quick 10 min. nap.
Overall, this is a very well made CD and I happily recommend it.

When you only have a little time and a lot of tired, this is the perfect cd. A small nap will leave you refreshed and ready to go. I highly recommend.

I have a difficult time napping; I find it very difficult to relax enough to fall asleep. And then when I finally fall asleep, I sleep too long and wake up very groggy.

The 30 minute nap on this CD is the perfect solution. And the quiet gong sound at the end of 30 minutes is the perfect way to wake up.

Be forewarned: when you start listening to the CD you'll think "Forget it! This isn't working!". And then lo and behold, the next thing you know you'll be hearing the gong to wake you up and you'll have had a refreshing 30 minute nap!

Love it!

The disk has 3 tracks with the longest being 30 min. and 2 shorter naps.
It's well done, but for me a 30 min. nap would be the shortest time.
Would have liked to have had 30 / 45 / 60 min. naps. Still I like it and would recommend it.

This CD is pretty nice, I like that there isn't really any definite melody because my mind tends to fixate on a melody and won't let me sleep. I like being able to choose the length of nap. I choose a longer track than the nap I want to take because it takes a few minutes for me to fall asleep.

The only drawback is that there are some strange, high pitched sounds in the background that often sound like either a fax machine or sirens in the distance. The lower pitched sounds are a lot more relaxing and I have a bit of a hard time with those high ones.

That said, the tracks are helpful and the sounds at the end to wake you up aren't loud or obtrusive, but they do work. I appreciate that I don't wake up with my heart pounding from a jarring sound! I kind of wish there were some longer tracks for a day off when I have time for a longer nap!

I've wanted a CD like this for years and I'm glad I finally bought this one. You'll think you're not sleeping, and that time is moving painfully slow, but then the wake up gong-ing at the end of each track comes and *boink!* you're really awake. I even use it on my ipod with success (I've had some CDs that say they don't work when 'ripped').

My boyfriend also likes this CD, and he's the ultimate "new age" skeptic.

Highly recommended

I teach fifth grade in California. Sometimes it's difficult for them to come back into the classroom after recess and get settled down, ready for the next lesson. I picked up on a term I heard on tv (which they all know about this term)and I use it to my advantage. They love it and look forward to coming in and "Ideate" (I - de - ate) When they come back into the classroom I have one of my disk on the player at a low volume and let them just "Ideate" for 3-5 minutes. The length of time varies depending on their state of excitement. They can chose where to Ideate. On a table, the floor is popular, just sitting at their desk with their heads-down, etc. Believe me it works. A teacher's blessing.

I use the 30 minute nap segment, but I wish there were a longer option. I do find that my naps feel more restful with this product and the chiming sounds at the end of the tracks wake me gently and pleasantly.

Wow - All I need for a restful nap all in one box. Nice gift idea too!
