Brainwave Entrainment is the newest drug free way to help ourselves to go to sleep. Brainwave Entrainment works by calming the mind to help us reach a relaxed state which enables us to fall asleep naturally.
Brainwave Entrainment is not new. in fact our ancestors used it in their dances and rituals. They used drums and other types of rhythmic instruments like rattles to create beats which would have a certain effect on those listening.
A very fast beat would whip people into a frenzy to prepare them for battle or any activity which required a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Other slower beats would calm people down almost to a dreamlike meditative state necessary for healing or to implant ideas into the subconscious minds of the listeners.
When we’re awake we are mainly in a state of beta, measured at 15-40 cycles per second, which is alertness and even agitation. When we relax our brainwaves are predominately alpha, measured at 9-14 cycles per second, a state of mental calm and relaxed focus. These waves can be measured on an EEG machine which show as a person relaxes, their brainwaves become slower and further apart.
As the relaxation continues the brainwaves further slow down to theta, (5-8 cycles per second) state of drowsiness and light sleep and finally delta (1.5-4 cycles per second) a deep sleep state.
Brainwave Entrainment actually slows down the electrical activity of the brain by using sound tones which effect the sub cortical area of the brain. Flashing lights can also be used for the same effect but can adversly effect people suffering from epilepsy.
The early form of modern brain altering technology was called “binaural beats”. Binaural beats emit sound pulses of different frequencies into each ear. The brain then resonates to a frequency half way though these two frequencies.
Binaural beats are quite effective in lowering our brainwaves but need headphones to work effectively. A more recent innovation in Brainwave Entrainment is “Isochronic Tones” or “Isochronic Beats”. Isochronic Tones (or monaural beats) work without the need for headphones, allowing us a more comfortable way to get to sleep (try turning on your side wearing headphones!)
Isochronic Tones can be embedded into music for a total relaxing experience. They have been credited with everything from pain relief, creativity, meditation and lucid dreaming. But the ability of Isochronic Tones to promote restful sleep is their greatest achievement towards good health and wellbeing.
There a many sound products on the market nowadays that claim to help us sleep. Among these are hypnosis CDs which induce relaxation so suggestions can be implanted directly into the subconscious mind, for instance a suggestion that we are calm and relaxed and sleepy.
To benefit from hypnosis, we must be fairly relaxed to start with, which is unlikely if we’re tossing and turning and worrying about not sleeping and how we’re going to perform the following day!
On balance brainwave entrainment using monaural technology or Isochronic Tones looks to be the best option. It seem like our ancestors got it right all those years ago Of course these folk weren’t aware they were using monaural beats technology, they just knew that it worked!
