I found something that has actually helped my insomnia

Updated July 8, 2015: Please read this, but please also read the updated post found here.

It's not Fisher Wallace, but since readers visiting this blog may have insomnia, I thought I would share that I have finally found something that has helped my insomnia. After my negative experience with the FWS, I was thinking about how electrical stimulation made my insomnia worse. After searching around on the web a while, I came across websites talking about "earthing" or "grounding" one's self to counter the effects of electro-magnetic fields or to reconnect to the natural electrical field of the earth for balancing. It sounded pretty crazy to me, but products purchased at www.earthing.com have a 30-day money-back guarantee, so I figured I had nothing to lose by trying (I am not necessarily recommending this one site or its products over others, but did want to point out it's guarantee policy). I read some positive reviews on Amazon that sounded genuine, so I decided to give it a try.

I purchased the cheapest option, small bands that go on your wrists or ankles. I attached it to my ankle and immediately started sleeping through the night. It is not the best sleep I have ever had, but it is light years better than anything I have had in years. I was really skeptical, but I can't deny that I haven't had any horrible insomnia since I've started using the bands. (and if you try the bands, the coiled cord is much better than the straight cord for sleeping). I am going to order the "half-sheet" and see if that offers any added benefit.

Just thought I would share!  Hope it helps someone.
