Summary: Very good CD
Review: Always, the skeptic, I thought that this CD wouldn't help me with my sleep...I listen to this CD every morning and I can honestly say that I have seen improvement in the quality of my sleep.

Summary: I am so glad I tried this CD.
Review: I am completely surprised at how well this CD worked for me. I've been having sleep disturbances for several years now. I did not like taking sleep medication so I thought I had nothing to lose by trying hypnosis. I have spent so much money, first on over the counter medicines then on doctors and prescriptions and I figured it was worth the $... to me to try something else. I am so glad I did. I emailed Ms. Decker and asked her how to best use this CD to get the best result. She emailed me back within 24 hours and told me all suggestions to the subconscious mind need to be reinforced over and over in order to have a really powerful impact so it was best to listen to it daily, if possible, and if not then as often as possible for about 3 weeks no matter how good I was doing from the first. I started to sleep better from the first time I used it but I kept on listening to the CD like Ms. Decker said nearly everyday for 3 weeks. Each night I slept better and better until finally I sleep all night through now and I feel rested when I wake up. I don't understand how it works or why it works, and I don't know if it works for everyone but it sure worked for me. I think this CD is well worth trying if you don't sleep well. For me it was the best $... I ever spent.

Summary: I fell asleep in 10 minutes
Review: I bought 2 different tapes from Amazon.com to help me get to sleep. Unlike the other one. This one TOTALLY works. I am 5 months pregnant and had a hard time getting comfortable and relaxing. After just 10 minutes into the CD I was totally alseep. I have used it several times and it is so effective that I still haven't heard the end of the CD. The womans voice is so calming and unlike other tapes I have tried she get right into the hypnosis and skips any kind of stupid formal introduction on how important relaxation is. I would recommend this CD to anyone who is having a hard time getting to sleep.

Summary: Hypnosis to help you sleep deeply
Review: I found this CD to be disappointing after having expectations from reading the other reviews. I have stubborn insomnia as well, often waking in the middle of the night. I had hoped the CD would help me to sleep deeply through the night or at least from the middle of the night moving forward. First, I don't see why disclaimers such as "don't listen to this tape while driving", etc. aren't printed on the label instead of on the audio portion where they don't belong. Not only does this CD have the disclaimer, they have it twice! This is poor editing and not geared to the consumer. The CD is broken into two sections: the first to help you sleep and the second is just for relaxation. Both sessions are too short to be useful with lengthy disclaimers before each section. While I appreciate that the CD is only spoken word which I find helps quiet my mind chatter as a music-only CD is unable to do, I find Decker speaks too rapidly for this CD's purpose nor do I find her voice soothing. Think of when you read a child a bedtime story...don't you slow down your pace to facilitate the purpose?
On the relaxation section, Decker has you melt like warm putty. For me personally, this conjurs up images of gray cold mud rather than a soothing warmth. I'm heard of other techniques using warm orange liquid imagery that might be more soothing. Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD has a Mindful Meditation CD series 1, Guided Body Scan (side 1), that I believe is much better. It's 45 minutes long and he has a soothing slower-paced voice talking you through relaxing your body from your toes to the top of your head. Often you fall asleep before it finishes. I tried Decker only because my well-worn Kabat-Zinn tape had finally broke. Unfortunately, Kabat-Zinn only sells this as a pair with other yoga tracks which I'm not interested in.

Summary: Sleeping Like A Baby!
Review: I had forgotten what that phrase meant until I started using this CD. I have an extremely stressful job and a disabled husband, so needless to say I find it difficult to turn my head off and relax when my very long day finally comes to an end. I have tried meditation, breathing techniques, yoga, over the counter medicines and perscription drugs to acheive the ever-elussive "good -night's-sleep" - all to no avail. I felt like I was throwing my money down a hole, and was begining to think that I was doomed to spend the rest of my life in a state of chronic physical exhaustion and mental fatigue. I have found my salvation in this little disc. Ms. Decker's voice is so soothing and yet firm enough to command consentration. The first time I used it, I felt the days stress just melt off of me and the next thing I knew it was morning! I am thrilled to report that I am sleeping better than I have in years!

Summary: So far so Good
Review: I listened to the CD and was wide awake during the playing of the CD and then after I turned the CD off and put my head on my pillow I was sound asleep and woke up feeling refreshed. I've had sleeping problems for over a year now and I use Ambien and the CPAP machine to help me sleep but this tape really helped me to wake up feeling refreshed. I'm glad I bought it.

Summary: Sleeping Like A Baby!
Review: I recently purchased the "sleep deeply" CD from Ms. Decker's hypnosis line, and was so pleased with the quality of the disc and the results I got from using it regularly. That is why I was so surprised by the review submitted by Linda Audrain from Corvallis, Oregon. I did not hear any of the clicks, hissing or popping that Ms. Corvallis described, and thought that perhaps the disc she received was defective - this happens occassionally. The sound quality on the disc I purchased was great, and I found the lack of extraneous noise (like background music) to be a plus. With nothing to distract me from Ms. Decker's soothing voice, I was able to reach a deep level of hypnosis that worked on my extremely stubborn insomnia. I sleep better now that I have in years! In fact I was so pleased with the "sleep deeply" disc, that I have since bought more of Ms. Decker's hypnosis CDs and have been equally thrilled with each of them. I hope that folks won't be afraid to try Ms. Decker's products because of the production quality of one disc. I, for one, am grateful to have discovered this line of products!

Summary: The Best Sleep I've had in Years
Review: I've found that this CD takes me easily and quickly into what feels like a deep trance. I do then sleep very deeply that night and wake up surprisingly happy and refreshed. That's been especially nice but even better, I want to get up and get the day started... which has never, ever been true of me before. It's not a total change but if getting out of bed used to be difficult, it's now much easier. And given how much nicer that makes my mornings - it's been a huge help.
I'd recommend this CD to anyone, even someone like me who questioned whether they could go into a trance state, nevermind be affected by hypnosis. I have highly recommended this to friends - and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Summary: A Great Resource!
Review: I've had this cd for a little over a week now, and I'm very impressed. I've had some significant problems with sleep over the past year, and have tried many things to help alleviate the problem: drugs, sleep tapes, homeopathy, acupuncture, etc. This cd ranks at the top of the list for helping to bring forth a deep and relaxing sleep at night. I highly recommend this product, you'll never regret it.
