Below are products that I personally recommend to people who are either have insomnia or want to enhance their sleep. Each product on this list has been either purchased or tested by myself, or recommended to me by people I trust.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis works as a fantastic sleep aid. First it sends you into a natural state of trance, a state of deep relaxation where all your mussels relax and your thoughts slow down. Once you are relaxed the hypnotist then works with your subconscious to form new sleep enhancing habits. The affects of hypnosis are both immediate and long lasting.

Brainwave Entrainment
Brainwave entrainment is a novel way to enter into a state deep relaxation. Your brainwaves operate at certain frequencies depending on your alertness. Scientists have shown that the brain adjusts itself to an induced frequency. So if you listen to a frequency at 5 hz and your brainwaves are currently at 10 hz, your brainwaves will begin to adjust and eventually become this new frequency. Using binural beats, these frequencies that are below the level of hearing can be produced and listened to.

Alarm Clocks
Your alarm clock is probably the most hated item in your bedroom, but at the same time, it’s something you couldn’t live without. But not all alarm clocks are created equal. Instead of starting each day jolted awake by the same jarring sound, imagine waking up gradually and naturally, so that by the time you have to get up you’re already awake. With a good alarm clock, this could be a reality.

Starting your day waking up in a dark room to a loud beeping noise isn’t fun and it isn’t effective. The Philips Wake-up Light wakes you up gradually with light that mimics the rising sun with a choice of radio or nature sounds, gradually increasing in volume, for a more natural wake up routine.
