Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a highly effective sleep aid that works in two parts. First it sends you into a trance, which is a fancy word for a state of deep relaxation where all your mussels relax and your thoughts slow down. Once you are relaxed the hypnotist then provides suggestions to your subconscious to change the way you think about sleep and to form new sleep enhancing habits.
Hypnosis is only as effective as the hypnotherapist performing it, so ensure you choose one that has plenty of experience dealing with sleep related problems.

Brainwave Entrainment
Brainwave entrainment is a high tech 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, frequencies that are below the level of hearing can be produced and listened to, making you feel relaxed and ready for sleep or wide awake and alert.
