The alpha stim devices have a very sound track record as a natural insomnia treatment, and for treating disturbed sleep and sleeplessness. There is a huge volume of research to back this up, and the alpha stim devices are actually available on prescription in the USA for such conditions, as they have proved so effective.

What is insomnia?

Insomnia, in the most basic of terms, is the inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or maintain good sleep. This can arise as a result of other physical problems, or as a condition in its own right. There are three distinct types of insomnia:

Onset Insomnia – difficulty falling asleep

Middle Insomnia – waking in the middle of the night, difficulty maintaining sleep

Terminal (late) Insomnia – waking too early in the morning.

Whatever the background cause for this, insomnia most commonly arises as a result of disturbed activity within the hypothalamic pituitary axis. This is the area of the brain that orchestrates and regulates hormone levels. When this is disturbed, hormonal levels can go above or below their normal threshold. In cases of insomnia, it is often the case that there are elevations of the hormone cortisol. It is this hormone, that actually wakes us up naturally in the morning. The disruption and elevation of cortisol, is especially true for individuals who are experiencing insomnia that is linked to anxiety and stress. Both anxiety and stress can cause a disruption to the hypothalamic pituitary axis, leading to a rise in cortisol production.

Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES), using the Alpha Stim device, has proved to be a highly successful, drug free treatment for insomnia. One of the main issues surrounding drug based insomnia treatments, is resistance. Patients often find that after a certain period of time, they become less and less responsive to the hypnotic drugs commonly prescribed. The benefits of CES with the Alpha Stim, is that it delivers a regulatory activity to the brain. This is especially true of the hypothalamic pituitary axis. Using the alpha stim device can bring this important area of the brain back to normal functioning after even one session. Further to this, alpha stim has a strong research base for the successful treatment and management of stress and anxiety. If these are factors to the onset of an individuals insomnia, CES becomes the single most effective treatment.
