DecreaSing Your StreSS improveS Your Sleep QualitY

In the past five years, I joined the growing ranks of individuals who have problems falling asleep. Since I don’t like how I feel when I’ve used well-known brands of sleeping pills or alcohol, I’ve tried many alternatives.

Given my background, it was natural for me to explore sound-based approaches. I’ve purchased many recordings from other labels, but generally found them ineffective, boring or annoying.

Thus began my quest to produce this ongoing series of recordings specifically for sleep, both for myself and folks like you. My music has several unique features that make it universally effective in this regard, both in what you hear…and what you don’t hear.

WHY moSt muSic KeepS You up at nigHt

Most music is composed to entertain or distract us. That’s great during the day, but it’s like drinking three cups of coffee at bedtime. Why choose ‘audio caffeine’? It will keep you up, too.

Surprisingly, biofeedback research has proven that what most people assume to be ‘soothing music’ is not as physiologically effective at reducing stress as they think. In fact, hidden stressors in most music may actually contribute to your inability to fall asleep.

Your brain and body are typically hooked into an unrecognized stress response by unconsciously analyzing the melodic and harmonic patterns built into the music itself. It’s natural to try to anticipate where the music is going in the future.

The problem is that ‘relaxation only happens in the present, not the future’. When the goal is relaxation and sleep, a more effective choice would be music that makes it easy to be at peace in the present moment. And this is what my music does.

You can prove this to yourself. Check out my popular “Scalus Interruptus” video at: www.YouTube.com/StevenHalpernMusic.

If you’re one of the 65 million Americans who have a chronic sleep deficiency, this album may be the answer to your prayers. Halpern’s innovative approach to mind-body medicine uses specially-composed music to orchestrate your innate ‘relaxation response.’

Effortlessly, the beautiful music relaxes the body and quiets the mind. Within moments, you can feel yourself breathing slower and deeper, as you drift off to sleep at the speed of sound.

Although pleasing to listen to, this album is not intended as ‘entertainment.’ Play it softly in your bedroom, however, and you’ll likely be asleep before the music ends. We wish you sweet dreams.

Note: This program is not intended as a substitute for medical care. Consult your health care professional. Do not use while driving or operating heavy equipment.
