I have Insomnia (No, this is NOT for the insomnia sale, funny guy). This affects my performance everyday. Of course, I will visit a doctor, but I want to know if I-Doser can help me with this. I mean, there are a few doses that can "make you sleep". Is this real? Or it is just a placebo?

Thanks

lol six packs don't hang me over, but then just try a couple I guess.

Maybe, but I don't think drinking alcohol everyday is a good idea.

Probably not, but no idea what to suggest other than sleeping pills or such and that's not much better.

is just a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats]binaural beat generator. It's a placebo. But the thing about placebos is that they actually work often enough to make it hard to keep a straight face about medicine, sometimes.

You should be able to get I-Doser free, so I figure it's got to be worth what you pay for it. Give it a shot and let us know if the placebo works on you.

There's a problem. I think placebo effect only works if you think the product you're consuming is real, and I'm skeptical about I-Doser effectivity.

Also, I'm not sure if this is a placebo or not. Developers said it isn't. If they lie, they are scamming people, and that's illegal. Someone can demand them for that, and I don't think they want to take that risk.

Greetings
Before spending money on something that may be a scam, I would try things like white noise stations. I use one called "rainymood" and it can help. Have you seen a physician about this? They may be able to direct you in a better way, and if they are good doctors, not just by throwing pills at you.

To be honest I don't think that i-doser is going to help you. It is pretty much a placebo effect. Just look up binaural beats on youtube, there are already some tracks uploaded that are effectively the same. As someone who suffers from insomnia, I feel for you though. This is not meant be condescending, but I think that with normal precautions, you can curb it a little bit. Some nights I still struggle with it. Especially if I take a nap, or drink too many caffeinated beverages, I can miss sleep sometimes.

If you:
Excercise (5-8 hour a week)
Weight Training
Balanced Diet
Don't eat after 7 pm
Abstain from using the PC or phone 1-2 hours before going to bed
Read something light (or boring) before going to bed
Relax with your dog or cat
Write in a journal

It could make going to sleep much easier. It is easy to get a messed up sleep schedule too. I find that being consistent really helps. i-Dozer and Binaural beats in general are snake oil voodoo magic that doesn't really do anything in my experience. Listening to some relaxing music, or brown noise, will probably do you more benefit then spending money on that stuff. Notice that practically all of things I listed were free. If you have to spend money, invest in some good earplugs for when there is loud noise outside.

I hope that you can overcome this and get back to a normal sleeping schedule.

Eh, not be a negative person, but don't go based off their claims alone, especially if they want money. It's easy for them to get all the money they can and then be tied up in the legal system for years and only pay a fraction in legal fines of what they made off their lies. I am not finding any studies to confirm their statements, only heresay...

I really liked your answer.

I follow the major part of your advices, but I still having this f*cking problem. I'll consult with a doctor, but I don't want to take pills.

Greetings, and thanks for your help.
And don't do those over the counter sleeping meds, end up having to take more and more for the same effect. And then you run into trouble.

The new guy makes a good suggestion, the only problem is if it doesn't work it really doesn't work. :P Similar to that, when I can't sleep I turn on my TV to either ID or Military History because the narrators on those channels are all very low and monotone which puts me right out. Also the colder it is tends to help which where I live it's always cold. XD
