"For four and a half years prior to 1996, I suffered from a sleeping disorder. I would wake up from a sound sleep approximately three hours after I went to bed and one of two things would happen. It would either take me 3 or 4 hours to fall back asleep, or I would continue to wake throughout the night, at least once every hour. This would happen every night, seven nights a week.

In the spring of 1996, we started using the Alpha-Stim unit in our clinic to treat chronic pain, fibromyalgia, as an adjunct to relaxation therapy. I started using the Alpha-Stim CES myself, in hopes that it would help me with my sleeping disorder. I used it once a day for the first two weeks, twenty minutes per session.

Almost immediately I started sleeping through the night for the first time in almost five years. Every now and then, my sleeping problems reoccur, but I use the Alpha-Stim and once again sleep through the night.

Anyone who has ever had any problems sleeping knows how miserable it is not getting a decent nights sleep. I cannot tell you how wonderful it has been to be able to sleep through the night once again and not to have to rely on sleep aids."
