subject: I’m Desperate To Get To Sleep! [print this page] It might be every night (like me) or just once in a while, not being able to sleep is no fun. The most common situation is when you are tired, but you cant seem to get your mind to slow down. I understand what you're going through. You cant help but dwell on the fact that you are desperate to get to sleep. I usually keep thinking about how I need to fall asleep soon or Im going to be too tired tomorrow. Its especially frustrating because the more you try to sleep the less likely it seems you will actually go to sleep. So what do I do? I stumbled upon something called binaural beats that help me when Im desperate to get to sleep. These beats (or tones) are designed to help slow the brain waves to the point of sleep. They are designed in such a way that you are hearing a slightly different frequency in each ear when you listen through headphones. Your brain perceives these different tones in one pulsing frequency in the range at which you would be most likely to doze off. The science behind this says that as you listen your brain waves will actually gravitate to match what your brain is perceiving. This allows the binaural beats to be easily designed to work. The most obvious reason to use binaural beats when you are desperate to get to sleep, is because they are safe. You wont be taking any drugs. Another good reason to try them is that they are instantly available. If its 2am and you have been desperate to get to sleep for hours, your options are limited. With the online availability of binaural beats you have access to them anytime of the day or night. So the next time you are desperate to get to sleep give them a try! Sweet Dreams!
