PEMF Therapy - A Cure for Insomnia?
PEMF Therapy for a DEEP and SOUND Sleep...
In this article we are going to look at the mystery of sleep, why we need it, the many benefits sleep provides, the current epidemic of insomnia and sleep disorders, and most importantly practical solutions to help you get better sleep ... starting tonight! The main focus of this video is how PEMF therapy assists with better sleep, but I will explain other practical solutions as well. So I recommend grabbing a pen and paper because I am going share some very important tips on how you can get better sleep each night so you can feel more alive and energized in the day!
But there is a big problem, sleep disorders are becoming more and more of an epidemic.

What Is Sleep and Why the Heck Do we Need it?
From an evolutionary point of view, sleep is a BAD idea. If you are an animal out in the jungle the LAST thing you want to do is be motionless, defenseless and vulnerable for several hours a day. But sleep fought evolution and won.
Yet sleep happens in ALL species of animals without exception. This shows us just how vital sleep is for life to exist. It is Essential at most basic of biological level.
For humans Its an essential element and the average person would die after 10 days with no sleep, making it more essential than food (which we can survive 30-90 days or longer without).

The Stages of Sleep
There are five stages of sleep. Stages one through four range from light sleep to deep sleep, and stage five is REM sleep.
Non Rem or dreamless Sleep. Stages 1-4 (dreamless sleep). Slow lazy brainwaves. Slow wave sleep vital for regeneration.
REM is one of the lightest stages of sleep. REM sleep occurs about every two hours throughout the night.
90 minutes. Rollercoaster ride through the stages of sleep.
Half night most deep sleep.
REM sleep - bizarre horizontal eye movements
Brain dreams in REM. Brain goes completely out of its my mind.
paralysis in REM sleep. So your mind can dream safely
25% paralysis … hiccups. Anxiety.
REM sleep (processing the day's events) is especially important and must not be cut short. Sleeping pills reduce REM sleep and therefore prevent a restful sleep. They are usually taken in high doses - to be sure - and can lead to dependence. Sleep disorders are often the first signs of depression.
Directly after REM, the body descends into a deep sleep. Eventually, sleep will lighten and REM will occur again.
Deep slow wave sleep gets hit the hardest as we age.
70% drop in deep sleep as we age, and that accounts for 50% drop in memory.
What goes on in sleep
1) Brain Recharges - memory, creativity, alertness/awareness
2) Your Cells Repair themselves (20-30 billion cells die a day and 20 - 30 billion created via mitosis mainly during sleep)
3) Your body releases important hormones (HGH and Melatonin).

How Sleep is Triggered - Circadian Rhythms
The onset of sleep is triggered mainly by THREE things
1) Your Body's Daily Circadian Rhythms or biological Clock
2) The Cyclical Secretion of certain hormones, mainly Melatonin in the Pineal Gland.
3) And the cumulative effect of hypnogenic molecules that build up in the body while you are awake, Mainly Adenosine, which is sometimes referred to as the Sleep Molecule.
As we'll see PEMF therapy assists the body on all these levels to sleep better.

Adenosine - The Sleep Molecule?
Adenosine is produced by the degradation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that serves as the “energy currency” for the body’s various cellular functions. The amount of adenosine produced in the brain thus reflects the activity level of its neurons and glial cells. The brain’s intense activity during periods of wakefulness consumes large amounts of ATP and hence causes adenosine to accumulate.
Accumulate adenosine in brain to create sleep preside.
Two types of adenosine receptors seem to be relevant to the sleep function, A1 and A2A.
Interestingly Caffeine acts as an antagonist to Adenosine Receptor sites tricking the brain into thinking there is not as much Adenosine as there really is.
7 1/2 hours - 8 hours.
daytime fatigue. Fatigue… micro sleeps.. zone out.
Sleep inertia… takes time to warm.
Adenosine builds up in a time until you need sleep.
Sleep dissipates pressure. Nap dissipates pressure.
Careful with naps.

Melatonin
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone controlled by light exposure that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin production is controlled by light exposure. Your brain should secrete more in the evening, when it’s dark, to make you sleepy, and less during the day when it’s light and you want to stay awake and alert. However, many aspects of modern life can disrupt your body’s natural production of melatonin and with it your sleep-wake cycle.
Spending long days in an office away from natural light, for example, can impact your daytime wakefulness and make your brain sleepy. Then bright lights at night—especially from hours spent in front of the TV or computer screen—can suppress your body’s production of melatonin and make it harder to sleep. However, there are ways for you to naturally regulate your sleep-wake cycle, boost your body’s production of melatonin, and keep your brain on a healthy schedule.

Insomnia - Problems with sleep
1 in 10 people suffer from chronic insomnia and it can really negatively affect the quality of life in a big way. Also, according to the Nation Sleep foundation 60% of Americans report having sleep problems a few nights a week.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is characterized by difficulty falling and/or staying asleep. People with insomnia have one or more of the following symptoms:
Besides lack of energy, mental focus and depression, lack of sleep is linked to
Increased risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, weight gain and overall accelerated aging.
Immunity - decrease 50%
Brink shrinks with lack of sleep .. Area where where we learn about the pleasantness of stimulus
Brain/ Mood / Creativity / Memory
Memory
Prepares brain like a sponge for learning.
40% deficit in making new memories with sleep depravation. Aceing and failing exam. based on research.
Sleep and memory as you get older. Capacity for learning and memory.
Sleep starts to detoriate as you get older.
Edison understood creative brilliance sleep.
Sleep loss and emotion. Stable mental health. Sleep and emotion interact.
Didn't sleep well == bad mood.
More vital than sex for a good relationship
Sleep on it.. Sleep on a problem… Common in most all languages. Transcend cultural boundaries.
Dangers of Pain meds
Sedative / hypnotic. -- sedate you. Common common ratio of non rem sleep. Throws off patterns.
Aldehydes and ketones repress rem sleep (from alcohol). When alcohol is washed, REM sleep rebound effect. Intense dreaming.

The Solution - PEMF Therapy for Better Sleep - Part 1
After pain relief, the most positive feedback I receive from people is better sleep and relaxation. It is estimated that 60% of Americans have trouble falling asleep according to the National Sleep Foundation (stress, apnea, stimulation, complications due to medication, etc.). Even healthy people can have intermittent nights of restlessness and lack of deep sleep.
If you use a PEMF therapy mat with a proper biorhythm clock, it will have a nighttime setting with theta-delta frequencies that help induce the brain with the commonly known frequencies for sleep and deep relaxation (delta and theta frequencies are around .5-7 Hz). These pulsating magnetic frequencies at the lower theta and delta frequencies directly and tangibly assist the mind and body to have a deep and rejuvenating nights rest.
When I first got an earth-based PEMF therapy mat back in 2007, I noticed I got to sleep easily and slept deeply. That was a point in my life where I was having problems sleeping. Since I have been using PEMF therapy daily, I have no more problems sleeping soundly every night.
I’ve heard directly from hundreds of users that better sleep is one of the first things they notice, AND it was one of the most important factors to their healing and recovery. I’ve heard many stories of people with serious health issues who had terrible insomnia. They felt tired, sick, depressed, day in and day out. After JUST ONE NIGHT of sleeping deeply, they would call me telling me how they felt like a new person!

PEMF Therapy for BETTER sleep - Part 2
PEMF - Brainwaves ... Reduce Esmog... Supplement Earth based PEMF
Most People hit bed 30-40 Hz... Need to slow down brain. PEMF works through resonance.
PEMF
1) Relaxes/Slows Down the Mind (Brain Entrainment)
2) Relaxes body (circulation, relaxes muscles)
3) Synchronize Biorhythm - Schumann
4) Increases Melatonin
PEMF fields cause resonate effects in the body… Wine glass shatters Ella Fitzgerald (opera singer).
Introduce frequency patterns into body and brain.
Normally we are 13-40 Hz. Hit the pillow at 40 Hz… You have to SLOW THAT BRAIN DOWN!
Slow down and falls asleep.
Use external field influences that are specially resonant to brain frequencies to slow the brain down.
Hang 3 grandfather clocks and pendulums will all eventually be in sync. Thats rseon
Our brain cells are very dynamic, very electrical (EEGs), and very influenced influenced by external PEMFs and will begin to resonate with pattern thats around.
Brain begins to oscillate to external fields.
Our brain, nervous system, organs, tissues and cells very susceptible to external fields.
Use earth PEMF with brain entrainment frequencies for SLEEP
Reduce Electrosmog
Research - 4 Week Double Blind Study on the effect of PEMF Therapy and Insomnia (using 101 patients).
RB Pelka, 2001
PEMF Group
70% Great Improvement in sleep free of symptoms
24% significant improvement
6% Slight improvement
Placebo
2% Great improvement
49% slight improvement
49% no improvement
Research has also shown that Pulsing magnetic fields (especially the Schumann and geomagnetic frequency) stimulate the production of Melatonin in the pineal gland. Melatonin is one of the most important hormones for sleep and anti-aging. It is a powerful antioxidant that has been research proven to be oncostatic, which means it protects the body from cancer. PEMF therapy also helps with the production of HGH (Human Growth Hormone) in the pituitary gland. HGH is another vitally important hormone for sleep, rejuvenation and longevity.

The 5 Elements of Better Sleep - Sleep and Relaxation Protocols
Summarize
Watch the first part before this...
In this video we are going to give practical action steps you can take to improve the length and quality of your sleep based on what I am calling the FIVE Elements of Better Sleep.
Earth is food, water is hydration, fire/light is light dark cycles, air is oxygen and temperature and the fifth element is PEMF or your brain waves.
I'll share with you the connection between your INNER biological clocks and the outer environmental cues... This is the science of chronobiology and when applied to the daily cycles is called circadian biology. As we'll see this is THE KEY to getting better sleep... That is getting your biological clocks back in sync.
PEMF therapy is one of the most POWERFUL and effective ways to relax the body and mind and slow down the brain waves which prepares the brain for sleep. But along with PEMF therapy, I will share many other practical tips you can implement to start sleeping better TODAY.

Circadian Rhythms and Circadian Biology
Introduction to Chronobiology...
Circadian Rhythms Daily, but other cycles fall under Chronobiology.
While we as humans have internal biological clocks, We have also evolved closely entangled and connected to the elements our environment.
The 5 elements of better sleep is really about mastering the rhythms of the five elements. Our modern lifestyle has disconnected us from the earth and her elements.
While the focus is on better sleep, getting reconnected to the cycles of nature will improve ALL areas of your life and health....
A circadian rhythm /sɜrˈkeɪdiən/ is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by acircadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria. The term circadian comes from the Latin circa, meaning "around" (or "approximately"), and diēs, meaning "day". The formal study of biological temporal rhythms, such as daily, tidal, weekly, seasonal, and annual rhythms, is called chronobiology. Although circadian rhythms are endogenous ("built-in", self-sustained), they are adjusted (entrained) to the local environment by external cues called zeitgebers (zite-gayber), commonly the most important of which is daylight.
Circadian rhythmicity is present in the sleeping and feeding patterns of animals, including human beings. There are also clear patterns of core body temperature, brain wave activity, hormone production, cell regeneration, and other biological activities. In addition, photoperiodism, the physiological reaction of organisms to the length of day or night, is vital to both plants and animals, and the circadian system plays a role in the measurement and interpretation of day length.

Timing
--->Full Spectrum Light in the Day
Did you know that people whose offices have windows get better sleep than those who work in windowless workspaces? That’s because getting enough sun exposure everyday keeps your body’s clock – or circadian rhythm – on point. Sunlight tells your body to postpone making melatonin – the hormone that makes you tired and helps you sleep. So it’s a great idea to get some sun in the morning if you can, but if you’re rushing to get to work and don’t have time to take a leisurely walk, you can take your vitamin D supplements in the morning instead. Since sunlight makes your body produce vitamin D, which put offs melatonin production, taking a morning dose of the vitamin may make your body feel like you’ve been outside. (For this reason, you want to avoid taking your vitamin D at night, which can interfere with sleep).
30-60 full spectrum light .. remove sunglasses..use lightbox if necessary
---->Dark at Night
Darken House - Blue light filters/ candles
No cellphone or TV … READ before bed with blue filter nightlight.
Don't read from iPAD or bright tablet. (or get a filter or blue blocking glasses
Use ereaders requiring light source
Change bright light bulbs
Make sure ROOM completely DARK
"Light is a powerful signal to your brain to be awake," explains Dr. Shives. Even the glow from your laptop, iPad, smart phone, or any other electronics on your nightstand may pass through your closed eyelids and retinas into your hypothalamus—the part of your brain that controls sleep. This delays your brain's release of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin. Thus, the darker your room is, the more soundly you'll sleep.
Check out www.lowbluelights.com for great tools for better sleep. I mainly recommend their Sleep Goggles, Amber LED light bulbs and Spotlight for reading. They have screens for computers, TVs, tablets, phones, but you can just wear the goggles (or avoid an hour before bed).
After you’ve done that, install F.lux on your computer, which changes the light from your computer screen to adjust for the time of day, helping your brain prepare for sleep even when you use your computer at night (that said, you want to avoid bright lights like the TV for an hour before bed). You should also avoid exercising for at least two hours before bed.
Bedroom - sex and sleep, no TV or electronic devices
Cool, quiet and dark…
Clean air - IQ air
White noise machine, air purifier OR earplugs
Deep Breathing / Meditation
Quite, relaxing music ok
Slipping between cool sheets helps trigger a drop in your body temperature. That shift signals the body to produce melatonin, which induces sleep. That's why it's also a good idea to take a warm bath or hot shower before going to bed: Both temporarily raise your body temperature, after which it gradually lowers in the cooler air, cueing your body to feel sleepy.

PEMF therapy - Before Bed --- #1 Recommendation
The iMRS 2000 and earth based frequency PEMF devices provides a form of pulsed resonance that has been shown to enable restful sleep to the body. After pain relief better sleep is easily the 2nd most common positive testimonial I have receivd. And there is PLENTY of research showing PEMF improves sleep in both humans and animals (animals have no placebo).
Even if I miss my morning or daytime application , I am sure NOT to miss using the iMRS right before bed. Sleep always effortlessly follows (like clockwork).
Here is the proven protocols for using the PEMF for better sleep.
Use level 25-50 in the morning, level 25-50 in the afternoon and level 10 at night. The duration of the application should be 8-16 minutes.
If possible use a light and sound system as well for ADDED relaxation. Currently as of this video the iMRS 2000 is the only PEMF system available in the U.S. with an integrated light and sound system.
Lay on an earth based PEMF mat each night for 8-24 minutes before bedtime using low theta-delta frequencies (.5-3.0 hz ideally.

Heart Rate Variability Training
The autonomic nervous system has two primary components: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Simple put your parasympathetic system is your REST, DIGEST and HEAL system whereas you sympathetic system is your FIGHT, FLIGHT or FRIGHT system which gets your body ready for stress.
It basically is a number that summarizes your ability and flexibility of your central nervous system in handling stress and balancing that with rest and relaxation. Regulation rigidity refers to the body being stuck in sympathetic or parasympathetic mode and having difficulty finding balance. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a biomarker of cardiac sympathetic activity. People with high HRV are more stress tolerant and resilient in the face of stressful environmental changes. It is also a good predicator of sudden death, especially sudden cardiac death (or the prevention thereof).
The iMORE system in conjunction with the natural earth inspired PEMFs of the iMRS full body mat, creates a balance in the body and helps to combat stress and ill effects it brings. Stress can have many manifestations in the human body. These include high blood pressure, psychological and emotional stress, cardiac arrhythmia, insomnia and hastening of diabetes.
When you are relaxed, you have a rhythmic heart rate variability, or the amount of time between each beat. Under stress, your body resorts to a fixed, inflexible rhythm. HeartMath technologies (like the emWave2 or the Inner Balance™ Sensor) use a tiny sensor to calculate your heart rate variability, and warns you that you are showing signs of stress (perhaps before you even realize it). The sensor guides you to take deep breaths every five seconds as you listen to music or meditate to resume relaxed heart rate variability. By warning you that you are getting stressed, and teaching you to prevent stress before it starts, you can stay more focused, controlled, and in better moods.

Relaxation and Stress Management
When you suffer from stress (as most people do), it’s too hard to focus and be productive and too easy to have recurring irrational thoughts. It can also cause poor judgment and memory problems, and that’s certainly not Bulletproof. A good way to combat stress is to use meditation and breathing exercises.
When you meditate, you practice the art of mindfulness, which allows you to choose which thoughts you want to focus on. It allows you to choose how you respond to your feelings instead of blinding reacting to them. Different ways of meditating include counting, mantras, mindfulness, positive self-talk, and controlled breathing exercises.
With controlled breathing, you want to breathe from your diaphragm, not your chest. Pull the air in through your nose all the way down into your belly, then exhale with your stomach first, using your diaphragm to push the air out of your lungs. Only your stomach should move, not your chest. The inhale should be a long, continuous breath, followed by a pause before exhaling, and then another pause before taking the next breath. This slow, steady breathing can help control your heart rate and allow your mind to relax.

Gratitude and Forgiveness
Taking a few minutes a day to do a gratitude and forgiveness exercise can be unbelievably beneficial. In fact, it’s probably the most powerful biohack ever. Either stop everything you’re doing and consider what you are grateful for, or write your thoughts about gratitude and forgiveness down in a journal (like The 5-Minute Journal). By doing this, you can increase your happiness, recover more easily from stress (I mean, how much stress do you carry around from your anger and hurt?), and become more effective at work. In fact, gratitude exercises are shown to increase decision making abilities and encourage productivity. It also makes you generally more likeable.
