The Hypnosis for Insomnia CD consists of two sessions that are promoted as helping listeners sleep more soundly. According to the product’s website, hypnosis can help people establish the pattern of deep sleep, and listening to the CD will allow consumers to wake up feeling refreshed in the morning.

The double-disc set sells for around $68.00 and can be purchased through Dr. Grossman’s website. We will look more closely at the hypnotic sessions below.

As mentioned, the program consists of two hypnosis sessions. Supposedly, those who decide to purchase the CDs can put one on when they are ready to go to sleep and they will “drift from hypnosis into a deep sleep.”

No other details on the program are given, which we believe is unfortunate. For instance, the exact length of each CD is not stated, and examples of what listeners might go through are not provided. Some individuals may find that they are too busy listening to the voice on the CD and that they are not able to relax and fall asleep. Luckily, the company does offer a money-back guarantee.

Many individuals are aware of the potential side effects that the use of prescription sleeping medications could cause and may be interested in a natural alternative. Some may just be curious about the method of hypnosis and might be interested in trying a product like this to see if it can actually work.

A few testimonials are posted on the website claiming that listening to the CD has helped people sleep through the night and one person even claims to no longer need to take a prescription drug. Still, the long term effects are unknown, and it is unclear whether this is a CD that will help listeners learn how to fall asleep on their own, or if they will always need to rely on the hypnosis CDs.

Some individuals might be interested in other natural methods to help them fall asleep. Many natural supplements are available, some of which claim to be clinically proven to be effective.

• Program created by a clinical hypnotherapist
• Some testimonials are posted

• The CD set is overly expensive
• Few customer reviews are posted
• Listening to a voice could prove to be distracting, not soothing for some

Dr. Kenneth Grossman has seemed to capitalize on his expertise as a hypnotherapist by creating hypnosis CDs for addressing a number of “conditions”, from weight loss to getting rich, and has created the Hypnosis For Insomnia program to help consumers sleep more soundly at night. The few customers who posted testimonials seem happy with the results, although we have to admit that we were disappointed that so few details on the product are given.

With all of the options currently available to consumers, we believe that people should seek out the best possible product to meet their needs. Hypnosis might work for some, and others might find it to be distracting. In the end, use of a natural oral supplement to promote deep sleep and help consumers still wake up without feeling drowsy might be preferable.
