 Sweet dreams from the Nightwave Jul 12, 2008
By Mary Ehly
"Grandma Mary"
Last year, I started having a lot of trouble sleeping. When my head hit the pillow, my mind would start reviewing the to-do list that got longer every day. After too many sleepless nights, it began to feel like I was just too tired to fall sleep.
Nothing helped. A therapist/friend told me about the NightWave, and I gave it a try even though I didn't have much hope left.
When I turned on the NightWave that first night, I watched its soft, blue light reflecting on my ceiling. As the light grew larger and smaller, I felt my breathing start to calm down and my eyes getting sleepy. I dozed off - but woke up again after a few minutes. It didn't seem to be working for me, but I gave it one more try. I turned it on again - and again watched the calming blue light grow large and small and felt my breathing fall into the same easy rhythm. Next thing I knew; it was morning! I'd had my first good night's sleep in months.
After three weeks of peaceful nights, it felt like my body's rhythms were reset.
When my granddaughter came to visit us, she was nervous that first night and had trouble settling down. I turned on my soft, blue light for her, and we both relaxed and fell asleep.
Now that I'm sleeping again, I've had enough energy left over to pursue a lifelong dream. I've writen a series of books for other grandparents to read to their grandchildren. Someday (soon) I hope to have those books here on Amazon.com too.
NightWave helped me to have sweet dreams - day and night.

A novel concept that works for me Mar 28, 2009
By Bruce Smith
NightWave Sleep Assistant As a former airline pilot who has lived a life of jet lag and interrupted circadian rhythm, I was very interested to hear of and try the NightWave. This product works in 3 ways: it projects a soft, slowly pulsing blue light which, 1) draws your mental focus, to the exclusion of unwanted distracting thoughts, and, 2) acts as a cue for breathing slowly, monotonously, from the diaphragm, which slows you physically. The third effect is, 3) it hypnotically lulls you asleep with your eyes open. As it slowly grows dimmer and brighter, the light tells your brain your eyelids are drooping closed - you really can't tell the difference - until they really are. It tricks your brain! Has a 7 minute cycle that auto shuts off. The 25 minute cycle I've never tried, nor needed. I've also heard that this device has been clinically demonstrated to lower blood pressure. I have bought a NightWave for all my relatives. It's that good.

Sleep At Last Jul 13, 2008
By George
Since having an accident which resulted in constant pain, I have had a constant problem falling and staying asleep. I had used a sound machine to help, but the results were not consistant. The Nightwave unit works very well for me. When I first tried it, I used the long program, but I found that I did not need it. I use the short program and find that I fall asleep very quickly. If I wake up during the night, I have found that if I just use the Nightwave breathing techniques, without moving and turning the unit back on, I am able to fall back asleep. After going without a good night's sleep for almost 4 years, the Nightwave Sleep Assistant has been wonderful. If you have trouble sleeping, try the Nightwave Sleep Assistant. It sure works for me.

Good product for sleep Mar 14, 2009
By H Park
"redeyeusa"
After going through shoulder surgery recently, I needed to get off the pain pills that were very additive, although they helped me get a good nights sleep. I didn't want to use over the counter sleeping pills, they become less effective over time. I came across this product doing an internet search. Although I thought the price to be somewhat high for something that just emits light, I was desperate to get a good nights sleep. I have now conditioned myself, it's as if my mind sees the light and knows it's time to sleep. But because I'm in pain, there have been times where I've awaken at night, so I just turn it on and usually I'm sleeping again. I like that fact that this product is silent, turns off automatically, and is portable, battery operated, no wires. For those who want more information, NightWave has a website, and they are on YouTube. This isn't a magic pill, I'm sure it will not work for everyone, but it's been a great help to me personally. Good Luck and Good Night!!

It works, what else can you say? Jul 09, 2008
By Tom Gilman
My seven year old daughter used to stay up much longer than her bedtime, sitting on her bed trying to fall asleep. She would be tough to wake up in the morning and was in slow motion until she got to school. We agreed that she would read the instructions and use Nightwave to help her fall asleep. She was into it. The first night she tried Nightwave, it took about twenty minutes for her to fall asleep, which was much faster than the hour it normally took. The second night it took about ten minutes for her to fall asleep. Its been that way every since.
