Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is brainwave entrainment completely safe?

A. Yes unless you have a medical condition that could be exacerbated by the beats. Consult your doctor if this applies. If you suffer from seizures of any kind you should not use it unless you get the OK from your doctor. The same applies if you have a pacemaker.
 
Q. Is it OK to use sleep sounds when pregnant?

A. We are not aware of any evidence that brainwave entrainment can cause any problems to a pregnant woman or the baby. After all it is simply a form of sound just as music is and we have never seen a notice to pregnant women to avoid going to concerts. Nevertheless please consult your midwife or obstetrician to be sure it is safe for you.

Q. Is there anything else I should do to make sure the program works for me?

A. Yes you need to practice good sleep habits. The eBook that accompanies the program tells you what you can do to improve your sleep. The audios will not help if you are not making sleep possible due to lifestyle factors.

For example if you prevent your sleep hormone, melatonin, from kicking in the late evening you will have trouble getting off to sleep. Melatonin is not secreted when bright light, such as a computer screen produces, is present.

Neither will you sleep well if you have stimulants such as caffeine or nicotine in your bloodstream. These measures and others must accompany the use of the audios.

Q. Are there any subliminal messages in the program?

A. No. Subliminal messages have been shown to be useless. Only those who have not read the research, or want to sell you their subliminal audios, will tell you it works.

Q. Can I leave Sleep Sound playing all night?

A. Yes if you wish to.

Q. What are these: binaural beats, isochronic beats and harmonic box x ?

A. Harmonic Box X

Harmonic Box X is a tone-based brainwave entrainment method described by James Mann in his book, Awakening Mind 1. It has become quite popular in recent years. The method is unique in that it incorporates both monaural and binaural beats, in a harmonic formation. Because it uses binaural beats it requires headphones.

Binaural Beats

Binaural beats are a form of  brainwave entrainment using two separate sounds that combine to form one sound inside your brain. One benefit is that in order for the brain to create a binaural beat, it must use both hemispheres of the brain (right and left), which can result in what is called "hemispheric synchronization".  Binaural beat audios must be listened to with headphones. More information...

Monaural Beats

Monaural beats are similar to binaural except that the  brainwave entrainment sound is formed outside your brain. This means you do not need to wear headphones.

Isochronic Beats

Isochronic beats do not rely on the interaction of two tones to form a beat. Instead, a beat is formed manually using audio modulations. They are very effective in inducing entrainment. You do not require headphones to listen to isochronic beats.

Sleep Tips You Haven't Heard  Before!
Testimonials

It works!!

I've been a poor sleeper all my life. I've tried many things to help me sleep and by experimenting and trial and error I thought I had my insomnia pretty well under control.

However in the last few months I've had problems with menopause, stress and lifestyle upheavals. I seemed to lose the ability to sleep again.

Liz, you seem to have managed to combine the effectiveness of science with the beauty of music. I don't know how you've done it and I don't care. It works!! Thank You!

 "You have made a great deal of difference in such a short time."

  Thanks for your two e-mails. I am sleeping better with the new recordings I bought from you which is great.

Although I am waking up in the night, the recordings are sending me back to sleep pretty quickly so I am really pleased about that...for me this is a good result, so I am really grateful.

Getting enough sleep, eating healthy and staying fit are essential to leading a healthy lifestyle. ...Thank you for being so great. You have made a great deal of difference in such a short time. With very best wishes

"You really did a lovely job with this program and I’ve loved getting the emails."

"The nicest thing, and whether it is psychological or not, is that the sleep sound brainwave entrainment has really helped as much as I could expect (I have apnea problems and am still dealing with claustrophobic reaction to a CPap).

It really does help me get back to sleep much faster, thank heaven."

I’d be very interested in further sleep sounds.

Wanted to know if that was your voice in the first one? It’s soothing all by itself!"

 "I now awake very refreshed. Thank you !"

I would lie awake at night, very tired, but my mind would not shut down. From the last TV show I watched to all of the days conversation, I would keep playing them over and over.

This program helped me let go and let my mind rest. If I would wake up in the night, I just popped the sound portion back on my headset and drift back to sleep. I now awake very refreshed. Thank you !

"I would highly recommend this program to anyone."

"This program has also dramatically helped my stress levels. I would highly recommend this program to anyone.

Thanks again for creating this program." Tony USA

 "I would recommend this program to anyone who has sleeping problems, of any kind"

I am so greatly impressed by your program- it really works! I am a former Graves' Disease patient and insomnia is one of the most debilitating symptoms of this disease. Since I have your Sleep Audio Program I have no problems sleeping all night.

My 10 year old daughter is also listening to her "Sleep CD", she even called me from England where she was in a summer school and could not sleep because of the time difference.

I had to put the CD on the phone so she can listen, but soon she will fell asleep and we had no problems.

I would recommend this program to anyone who has sleeping problems, of any kind and I am recommending that to all my clients suffering from this problem as well. Thank you!
