New Drug-Free Solution for Insomnia

Distributed by Press Release

PORTLAND, Ore. (Map) - PORTLAND, Ore., June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- For the millions of people who long for a good night sleep but find traditional remedies such as drugs, sound machines or natural supplements ineffective, help is on the way. Coherence Resources, Inc. is announcing the first sleep-assisting device that silently helps the user adjust his or her breathing rhythm to a pattern that delivers natural sleep.

The NightWave(TM) Sleep Assistant facilitates a state of relaxation through a simple pre-sleep breathing routine guided by a soft blue light projected into the darkened bedroom. The luminance of the light slowly rises and falls. With eyes open, the user synchronizes his or her breathing with the wave of light as its movement becomes slower and slower. After a short time, the person falls asleep and NightWave(TM) shuts off.

"Our solution is for people who experience common insomnia due to stress, an overly active nervous system, restless thoughts, feelings of agitation, or jet lag," says Stephen Parsons, Founder of Coherence Resources. "Unlike other sleep remedies, the NightWave(TM) is silent, requires no wires or masks, doesn't have the side of effects of drugs, and in the long run is less expensive and more effective than herbal remedies or other supplements."

"We don't know of any other product on the market that does this," reports Sherry Duwe, clinical director or the Sleep and Mood Clinic of Oregon. "The NightWave(TM) is a welcome addition to our set of professional tools for helping people with their sleep."

Based on scientific research, traditional health practices and ancient Yoga breathing techniques, it is widely known that proper breathing can improve day-to-day health as well as sleep patterns. Deep breathing works well because it activates the parasympathetic branch of the involuntary nervous system causing a "relaxation response" in the body. Muscle tension drops, stress levels go down, heart rate variability (HRV) becomes smooth, blood pressure normalizes, and mood becomes softer.

NightWave(TM) also helps travelers quickly adjust to time zone changes by easing travelers into sleep. It is rugged, easy to carry, and will not accidentally activate inside luggage. Coherence Resources is so confident in the effectiveness of the NightWave(TM), that it offers a money back guarantee.
