      I heard the ad for this on the radio…it's similar to neurofeedback, but supposedly more effective because it can “train” your brain to sleep better.

      The downside is, it's like $1500 for ten sessions. Luckily, I have a wealthy friend who is also an insomniac, and he volunteered to be my guinea pig… he ponied up the cash and is undergoing treatments right now. He has had insomnia for 50 years (no kidding) and he seems cautiously optimistic about this brain training…after his first 3 sessions he was able to sleep all night through for several nights.

      His brain trainers told him that it could take 10 days to 10 weeks after his last session for him to see results, but he says he's already noticed improvement. Still, before I cough up $1500, I'm waiting to see how it works out in the end for him. I'll be sure to let you all know!

            Interesting – it sounds like use of entrainment technology, which has been used to mimic a meditation response. I tried something like this years ago, which was listenting to a CD that was prepared for me, and it actually made my insomnia much worse.

            But this is more intriguing becasue it seems that they actively adjust the sounds according to what is happening in terms of your brain activity – so it might just work, provided they know what they are doing and what they are adjusting for, so I would not dismiss this – it might be of help for insomnia.
