Music Can Help With Sleeping Disorders

Music Can Help With Sleeping Disorders

Millions of people around the world suffer from a number of different sleep disorders and try many methods for solving the problems that come with most of these sleep disorders. People have tried sleep aids that contain medications, relaxation techniques, mechanical sleep aids, and even creating a bed time routine to relax the body and the mind enough for the person to get enough sleep each night. There is one treatment method for sleep disorders that is often overlooked and that is using music for sleep disorders.

Using music for sleep disorders has been a common treatment method for many different people throughout history. When medieval kings had trouble sleeping at night, often from the stress of ruling and wondering which family member was plotting to kill them and take their throne, they called for their musicians to play soothing music until they had relaxed enough to go to sleep. This technique is even more common today, with mothers singing their children soft lullabies to lull them into a deep and relaxing slumber.

Today, there are many different artists that create music to soothe a person so that they can get to sleep. Most of these soothing melodies must be purchased at the local record store or other retailer that sells music as music to put a person to sleep is not really popular on radio stations across the nation. The type of music that is chosen will depend on the personal preference of the person that will be using the music to get to sleep.

There are many different versions of music that can be used as a treatment for sleep disorders such as insomnia. The most popular songs used for this purpose are instrumental melodies that are smooth and gentle to the ears. These songs contain no words and are designed to draw the person into the music where they can clear their mind and surrender to the calming sounds of the song.

Many instrumental melodies that are designed to lull a person to sleep use gentle sounding instruments, such as pianos, saxophones, and flutes for the music. This creates a relaxing sound that has nothing to focus the mind on and reduce the soothing qualities of the music. The tone of the music will ebb and flow, creating an effect in the mind similar to floating on a bubble or riding gentle waves of water. As the person listens to the music, they will begin to feel the muscles in their body lose tension and their mind begin to drift away into a deep and restful sleep.

Some people choose music that incorporates more sounds of nature than sounds of instruments in the song. The sound of whispering winds, rustling leaves, and soothing animal songs releases a primal response in some people that helps them relax more deeply, resulting in a more restful sleep. People that choose to use music to help relieve the symptoms of a sleep disorder may have to purchase several different types of music before they find the one that works best for them.

Insomnia and Sleep Disorder?
Hi I'm 21 and believe I suffer from insomnia or at least some bad sleep disorder for about 2 months, sadly I haven’t been able to get much successful advice.

I basically cant sleep, yawn or run out of energy, I don’t get head aches and the only thing that I do get is dry eyes, in the event that I do sleep, immediately I will wake up and I will stay awake for hours.

Health Summary

Diet
Drink(s) – Orange Juice – water.
Food – Sushi – Salad – Cereal – Meat, 3 – 4 meals a day

Exercise
Walking approx 2 – 3 hours a day.

Changes
Nothing, everything has been fine and the same, nothing changed in my life in years.

Things Tried
Warm Milk, Nytol, Warm Bath, Mass Exercise, Relaxing Music, New Bed, Reducing Carb Intake.

Sadly all failed, and before I take a week off and go to a clinic I hoped that someone out there would know what’s wrong, physically and mentally I haven’t changed, this is sudden and no one seams to know what’s wrong.

    Yes, sleep paralysis is simply a momentary overlap between wakefulness and sleeping. Your mind can awaken from sleep a few seconds before your body is activated. During dreaming, there is a disconnect to the muscle and skeletal systems, to prevent people from acting out their dreams. (Sleepwalkers have a disorder in this inhibition.) Sleep Paralysis is the opposite.

    The sensations you experienced with it are known as hypnagogic hallucinations. These weird and unexplained "ideas" when occuring during a dream, are simply incorporated into the dream. We have things that dont make sense in our dreams, but it *seems* perfectly normal while we are dreaming. (Suddenly, I was12 feet tall, and could stomp on the car, squishing it flat.) Logic is suspended during dreaming, but when you are in between states, you are aware that it doesnt make sense, or is not connected to an actual physical sensation.

    It's called music hallucinations, to be exact. They are pretty common, but no one has done a study to show how common. The story of a man with music hallucinations and what his doctor shared with him:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/12/health/psychology/12musi.html
    Some famous classical composers have had it. It's considered harmless, according to this article.

    Among the possible causes are listed epileptic seizures, medications and Lyme disease, but there are very likely many other causes. Right now everything is mostly speculation.
    They do point out the music hallucinations are different from schizophrenics "hearing voices".

    Sometimes the music can indicate an brain aneurysm, according to the article below.
    http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9504E7DE1030F937A15757C0A9679C8B63

    This article calls it Musical Ear Syndrome and explains the story of one woman who experienced it. According to this article, people with mild hearing loss are generally the most likely to have MES and that the reason is the ears aren't being stimulated in the normal fashion..through the auditory nerve, so the brain actually creates the music in your mind as a way of dealing with the lack of input. (the first article says the same thing)
    http://hearinglosshelp.com/weblog/?p=180
    This also says the musical hallucinations are harmless.

    Because there is a slight possibility it could be more than just your brain occupying itself – like aneurysm or Lyme disease – I'd suggest mentioning it to your doctor during your next physical. If you are very concerned, go ahead and let your doctor know this week. I, personally, would wait if I had no other symptoms that were bothering me at the time.

    Hope all is OK and — enjoy the music!

    I am the same as you. Here are some tips that i use.

    Listen to white music:
    Peaceful and Calming music.

    Breathing:
    Focus on breathing in through your nose and out of your mouth, nothing else.

    Shower:
    I know you already did it, but turn hot water on, then just sit with your head back in it.

    Earlier:
    Try sleep earlier each night until your liking.

    Hopefully these tips helped.

    Oh

    Nyquil:
    Try this with a few of these tips.

    Maybe you've been paranoid lately? Perhaps try to drink less caffeine and get yourself in a relaxed state. If this really is a big problem, then consult a doctor about it. Sleep is important to your health! (:

    good luck!

    Hi

    It is very possible that he was sleep walking, but he may also be out of it or just a disgusting individual.

    Go upstairs and speak to him

    Hope this helps

    Sleep hygiene is always the best step, especially at your age. Follow the above strictly for a week or two. If you still have problems it may be best to see your GP to see if there's something neurologically wrong.

    You may be re-living some sort of traumatic event that has occurred in your life. Are you experiencing more stress than usual ?? Any significant changes in your life ?? Loss of a job, loved one, recent break up ?? In any event, what you are experiencing can occur for several reasons. If this becomes worse or persists, then contact your Doc. He/ She may prescribed a mild tranquilizer that you take at bedtime. I hope this helps and Good Luck !!

    get on a regular exercise routine. join a gym and first work with a trainer. eat the right foods for your life and stay away from chemicals. even sodas can mess you up. and drink enough good water and meet quality people who don't stress you for their pleasure.

  9. Amanda C says:

    It sounds like you have sleep apnea and experienced sleep paralysis.

    sleep apnea can be dangerous since you're not breathing, especially when you wake up with sleep paralysis (you wake up and your brain hasn't connected back to your body yet because you woke up during the end or the onset of REM- a deep stage of sleep where you dream-. Your brain disconnects from your body so you don't act out your dreams and cause harm to yourself or others). I've experienced it as well and I understand it can be frightening. Sleep apnea should be checked out by your doctor and you may need sleep tests performed as sometimes it isn't serious and others it is. Sleep paralysis is semi-common, and there are a few remedies to help stop it but no cures. Try sleeping with your top half (or neck and head) elevated above the rest of your body (with extra pillows or something). Don't sleep on your back if you can help it, for some unknown reason, sleep paralysis is more likely to happen on your back. Don't think about it before going to bed otherwise it could trigger another case. Also, try to clear yourself of any stress and clear your mind.

    Good luck
