Since I don’t want to rely on prescription medication, I started out seeking tips on how I could cure insomnia sleep disorder naturally. Everywhere I looked for answers it was the same solutions I received, and I found that they weren’t that useful to me. Before I tell you what I did, here are the some usual tips, and why they didn’t work for me:

• Don’t consume caffeine rich substances 12 hours before you sleep
  I don’t like coffee and I can’t drink coca cola or eat chocolate, since too much sugar affect my allergy.

• Put a blindfold on to prevent light from interfering with your sleep
  that is quite useful in bright places, I know I can’t sleep in bright places, but it’s not really that comfortable and where I sleep is quite dark anyways

• Buy a new bed and get a more comfortable environment
  I feel very comfortable, I just need a pillow between my legs, because I always sleep on the side

• Drink hot milk with honey
  I’m allergic to milk

• Create a cool temperature in you room
  I did move to another country, where it is very hot, I bought a electric fan that cools me down, but still I had trouble sleeping

• Don’t eat 3 hours before going to bed, cause digesting will increase your body activity
  I was already doing it that way

• Change your daily rhythm
  that is not really an easy thing to do, I prefer to keep my current rhythm and find another solution

• Learn how to meditate to rid your self of any thoughts and anxious or stressed feelings before sleeping
  an interesting advice, but it takes a good 2 years to get enough experience to control your mental states through meditation.

It was depressing not to find what I was looking for and my hope was starting to fade, “was it impossible to cure insomnia sleep disorder naturally?” I kept researching until the answer to my prayers were finally heard. I found something that would seem like magic.

The magic solution to my frustrations, would lie in something mysterious called “binaural beats?”.

The cool thing about magic is that you don’t have to know anything about it, for it to work. Still it’s great to gain more knowledge, so I give you.

The science and magic behind binaural beats:

What are binaural beats and why are they so powerful?

Since the brain is the key to activate all our emotional energy and chemistry within body and mind.

It was crucial to find a way to control my mind if I were to sleep well.

Binaural beats is an old science, it was used to determine different mental illnesses over 100 years ago. Continued research discovered that it was possible to alter our state of consciousness, by sending harmonic sound waves with different frequencies into each ear. The difference between the two sounds waves would result in what we call a binaural beat. The are 5 frequencies (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, theta), but for the sake of this article I will only tell you about two I needed to understand to cure insomnia sleep disorder naturally.

Theta and Delta waves:

Theta waves occur in our REM sleep (also known as Rapid Eye Movement sleep). REM sleep is also where we experience vivid dreams and deep meditation, in this stage our muscles are paralyzed so we will relax and avoid moving and acting out our dreams. Some people have a sleeping disorder where they’re not paralyzed when they dream, which makes them act out their dreams.

Delta waves occur in our NREM sleep (also known as Non Rapid Eye Movement sleep) which is the deep sleep where we regenerate and recover energy, dreaming is rare in this stage and the body and muscles are not paralyzed. If we don’t get the delta sleep we will be tired and fatigued during the hours we are awake.

The power of binaural beats

These harmonic sound waves are proven to alter the state of consciousness, which means if you can’t sleep they harmonic sounds will “force” you to sleep. That is what saved me from going crazy. The more I used binaural beats as a sleeping aid, the more relaxed I was able to be on my own. Now I’m full of energy and rarely use these harmonics and this was the solution for me.
