According to an article in the March 3rd, 2009 issue of Forbes.com, “Almost a third of all American are tossing and turning, unable to get a good night’s sleep because they are worrying about the economy, their jobs or their money, a new poll finds.”
Not surprisingly, the article goes on to say, “What is very telling is that these Americans whose sleep is impacted by financial worries report that their sleep disturbance makes them much less likely to work efficiently, exercise, eat healthily, and have sex compared to their better-sleeping fellow Americans,” said report co-author Michael V. Vitiello, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at University of Washington”.
Many of these people suffering from lack of sleep will turn to drugs, either over-the-counter or they will use prescription drugs recommended by their health practitioner, such as the best-selling Ambatol® which costs, on the average, $39.95/month. But what are the risks involved? Many sleeping tablets are Benzodiazepines that have clinically proven adverse side effects. On the other hand, the Non-Benzodiazepines tend to have a short duration of action. Other solutions are either Tricyclic antidepressants or Barbiturates and may have issues with serious side effects or may have a very limited therapeutic window and high toxicity.
Sound-Science products, on the other hand, don’t require monthly prescription refills, have no side effects and will cost the user a one-time outlay of between $9.95 and $19.95 depending on which version is chosen.
Sound Sleep, the solution for adults, uses the “Rolling White Noise” algorithm combined with the award winning WombEffect technology which has a very calming effect and seems to put you to sleep from the inside out. According to the company, this product allows you to sleep deeper and longer, minimizes night wakings and masks external noises up to 90% allowing for a restful, rejuvenating night’s sleep.
The second product in the range is specifically designed for new parents. Named SoundSleep for Parents, it also uses the WombEffect technology, but combines it with the “Rolling Pink Noise” design which allows the parent to sleep without blocking the sound of a crying baby and allows them to fall back to sleep much quicker in-between wakings.
Created by world-renowned musicians and sound engineers, Jay Oliver and William Lenihan, the SoundSleep series are audio and musical products specifically designed as organic solutions to medically-related problems such as sleep disorder and stress. These are not the run-of-the-mill sleep CDs which may be recordings of hair dryers or other high frequency noises.
Sound Sleep products are based on years of research and scientifically designed using advanced digital audio techniques, complex algorithms and key audio frequencies that create the effect of sitting peacefully on a rock above ocean waves.
According to company co-founder Jay Oliver, “Providing for a positive state of well-being can greatly serve as preventative “medicine” against so many stress-related conditions, and the common sense health benefits alone from audio and music therapy are becoming more and more recognized.”
