I've tried them all... But this one works!

Hi!
I have a condition called Parasomnia, or as it is called "Things that go bump in the night". Out of 6 possible sleep disorders, I suffer from 5: Sleep Apnea, Restless Legs Syndrome, Insomnia, Somnambulism (Sleep Walking) and Night Terrors (Also called REM Sleep Disorder). These tend to get worse as my stress level rises. I have, in the past, become violent and have attacked my spouse at times while asleep. The Sleep Apnea was solved when I lost 40 pounds.. But of all of these problems, insomnia is probably the worst one because when I cannot fall asleep, my stress level rises because when I am trying to get to sleep I worry about things including the idea that I cannot sleep. I have been to many sleep disorder clinics, been to several specialists and all of them have prescribed sleeping pills.... andything from klonopin to Xanax, and although they did help, it was like putting a band aid on a cut. It was only a temporary solution to the problem; and I was also very concerned with the potential for addiction these drugs had.
Until one day I stumbled across a website http://www.endsleepproblems.com/ that told me of an alternative way of dealing with my insomnia... and that was to re-train my brain how to fall asleep... I was very very VERY skeptical of it working, but I mentioned it to my doctor who said that the techniques mentioned on the website were ways that has been proven to work. Soooooooooo I decided to try it. It is a series of CD's that you listen to and it WORKED! I was amazed at the speed at which I was able to fall asleep and, more importantly, STAY ASLEEP without getting up and doing the weird things I used to do when asleep, like sleepwalking, or something even more scary, becoming violent.
I am extremely grateful for this product and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with sleep problems like I had, or knows of someone who does.
