PEMF Therapy for Insomnia and Sleep

My name is Bryant Meyers, author of the book PEMF –

the 5th Element of Health. In this document, we will
look at the mystery of sleep, why we need it, the many
benefits sleep provides, the current epidemic of
insomnia and sleep disorders, and most importantly,
practical solutions to help you get better sleep.

There are many things you can do to help with better sleep, but I’m going to focus on
PEMF therapy, and how pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is, in my opinion, the best
natural solution to help you get better sleep.

What  is  sleep?      

From an evolutionary point of view, sleep is a bad idea. Think about it. If you’re an
animal out in the jungle, the last thing you want to do is to be motionless, defenseless,
and vulnerable for hours a day. But sleep fought
evolution, and won. It’s because it’s essential for
life. Sleep happens in all species of animals
without exception. This just shows how vital it
is for sleep to exist. It’s essential at the most
basic biological level. But yet it’s still a mystery
to scientists, although we are learning more and
more about sleep. For humans, it’s so essential that the average healthy person would die
after ten days with no sleep. That makes it even more important than food. Most people
can survive 30-90 days without food.

Let’s start by looking at the stages of sleep. There are five stages of
sleep – four stages of dreamless sleep (stages 1 through 4), and there is
REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep where you dream. The slow, lazy
brain waves of stages 1 through 4 are your dreamless sleep. But in

those stages your body heals and regenerates itself. As we get older, especially stages 3
and 4, our ability to get that deep, slow-wave sleep, becomes more and more difficult. As
we’ll see, PEMF therapy can help get you down into those deeper levels of sleep. And
this is where the magic of regeneration comes. You lose about 20-30 billion cells a day
in your body, and fortunately, 20-30 billion cells are created through mitosis, mainly
during sleep.

What  goes  on  in  sleep?      

First of all, your brain recharges itself. Good sleep has been linked to better memory,
creativity, alertness, awareness, and productivity. If you want to be successful in life,
you need deep sleep. During sleep, your body releases important hormones, like HGH
and melatonin. They both have been linked to longevity and health. As we age, HGH
and melatonin levels decline, and our sleep levels
also decline along with that. So, if we can get better
sleep and keep that level of HGH and melatonin
high, this is a good strategy for longevity and for
feeling healthy and energized, even well into your
70’s, 80’s and beyond.

What  are  the  benefits  of  sleep?      

We’ve already mentioned a few of them, but there are some other benefits to getting a
good nights sleep as well. Sleep keeps your heart healthy. Studies have shown that less
than 5 ½ hours of sleep a night doubles your risk of heart attacks. Sleep can help prevent
cancer. It helps to reduce stress, inflammation, makes you more alert, bolsters your
memory, and helps you to lose weight. Studies have shown that decreased sleep
increases weight gain. And finally sleep may help to reduce the risk of depression.

Circadian  Rhythms  

Circadian rhythms are your body’s biological clock. These rhythms are governed by
light and dark, eating cycles, even by the magnetic field of the Earth, and certain other

environmental factors.
Circadian rhythms help
your body to be energized
and awake during the day,
and relaxed and sleepy at
night. As we’ll see, the
PEMF therapy devices I
recommend have a
biorhythm clock that give
you energized frequencies
during the day, and relaxed frequencies at night. We want to be in tune with the cycles of
nature. It’s best to try to get to bed by 10 to 11 PM. It’s been proven that growth
hormone is secreted mainly between 10PM and 2AM.

Insomnia  and  Sleep  Problems  

Insomnia is such a problem these days. One in ten people suffer from chronic insomnia.
It can really negatively affect the quality of your life. According to the National Sleep
Foundation, 60% of American report having problems a few nights a week. Insomnia is
a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, and staying asleep. People
with insomnia have one or more of the
following symptoms: difficulty falling
asleep, waking up during the night and
having trouble getting back to sleep,
waking up too early in the morning, and
feeling tired upon awakening. Besides lack
of energy, mental focus, and depression, a
lack of sleep is linked to heart disease,
cancer, diabetes, weight gain, and overall accelerated aging. We really need sleep.
Insomnia can be a very difficult problem to deal with, and that’s why I want to show you
how PEMF therapy can be so beneficial for insomnia and general sleep problems.

PEMF  Therapy  

After pain relief, the most positive feedback I get about pulsed electromagnetic field
(PEMF) therapy, is better sleep. Sometimes people don’t even buy a PEMF therapy
device for sleep, but they’ll come back to me and say “I really noticed that I’ve been
sleeping better.” No matter what your illness or disease, if you get better sleep your body
is going to be able to heal and repair itself much better. For people with chronic diseases,
it can be vicious cycle: their illness
makes it difficult to get the sleep, and not
getting the sleep doesn’t allow their body
to repair and regenerate itself. When I
first got an Earth-based PEMF therapy
mat back in 2007, the first thing I noticed
was better sleep. That was at a point in
my life when I was having trouble sleeping.

This image of the different stages of sleep is based on EEG (electro-encephalogram)

studies. This concept is proven and accepted by the medical community. Our brain
waves have these different stages of sleep, or states of consciousness. Here’s the
problem: You typically want to get
down into the theta or delta (slow
wave) sleep. When you’re drifting off
to sleep you should be in theta
brainwave. Your brain has four main
states of consciousness. Beta is your
alert, wakeful state. Alpha is your
relaxed state. Theta is the state right
before you’re drifting off to sleep. It’s very relaxed. Some people who are deep
meditators can get into theta. It’s very rare for anyone to be consciously in delta state.
It’s basically the deepest state of sleep. And this is where regeneration happens. Those
are the stages of sleep. They range from 0 to 30 Hz. Delta and theta are low (0-5 Hz.)
Awake beta is around 15-30 Hz. It’s possible to get into gamma, if you are in a hyper

state. You don’t won’t to be hitting the pillow for sleep at 30-40 Hz. Your brain is over-
stimulated. What a good PEMF therapy mat with a circadian rhythm clock does is
entrain your mind to a slower frequency.

If you’re a good meditator, you could slow down your brain waves with meditation
before sleep. For those who don’t meditate, laying on a PEMF therapy mat for eight
minutes will take your brain down to that slow wave frequency. The brain in very
electrical, so it’s susceptible to external fields.

It makes so much sense why PEMF therapy works so well

for sleep. It’s been my experience from the testimonials
I’ve received, that reasoning is validated. There’s
research that backs this up. A four-week double-blind
study with 101 patients proved the effects of PEMF
therapy on insomnia. This was a 2001 study by R.B.
Pelka. It found significant improvement in sleep with the
PEMF group versus the placebo group.

There’s also been research to show that PEMF therapy

increases the production of melatonin in the pineal gland.
As we mentioned, melatonin is the “sleep” hormone, the
hormone that helps you to get to sleep and rejuvenate. And
melatonin has proven to be oncostatic, meaning it’s anti-
cancer.

In conclusion, I want to emphasize that the body heals and repairs and regenerates itself
during deep sleep. In my research, I strongly believe
that PEMF therapy, especially with an Earth-based
PEMF therapy device using low frequencies (0-30
Hz.) along with a circadian rhythm clock, is absolutely
the best investment you can make to help with better
sleep.
