 To up beat for sleep April 7, 2008
I agree with the other reviewer I found most of the music to be too up beat for falling asleep, and my problem is staying asleep, not falling asleep. Some of the music made my heart race and then I could not fall sleep. I tried this CD 4 times before calling it quits. I would not recommend this CD. I have resulted to using my very loud air purifier as white noise so that as I sleep the street sounds do not wake me up, but recently someone recommended to me trying a Homedics SoundSpa machine, which has all kinds of natural sounds for background noise when sleeping. I may try it. I hope this review helps.
misleading advertising March 29, 2008
Somehow, from the description of this album, I expected jazz to sleep by. What I got was very dull classical. So boring, it does NOT occupy my mind enough to distract me from cares of the day, so not a sleep tool for me.
 this really works February 15, 2008
I brought this CD set about 2 years ago. Originally it was to help me to get better sleep after a stressful at work. It works so well that I rearly hear the last few pieces on the CD. Last year, my mother was diagnosed and treated for cancer. She had trouble sleeping due to the mental stress and side-effects of the chemo. I recommanded to listen to the CD set. She loved it. Now the CD set is part of her sleeping routine.
Very Soothing Way To Fall Asleep February 9, 2008
I love the fact that this is two CD's worth of songs, and we listen every night. The songs create a calming environment, slipping off to dreamland is only a few notes away.
 somewhat of a disappointment October 3, 2007
Many of the songs are relaxing & help me get to sleep - but there are other songs that change the mood & spoil my relaxed, sleepy feeling. The CDs just didn't work for me. However, I made an IPOD playlist with just the songs I found relaxing & sleep inducing - that does help me get to sleep & sleep more soundly. When I do fall asleep listening to this music, I find that, when I wake up, my breathing is slower & deeper.
