The 'Seed' Of Insomnia

In my Sleep Wiz Revitalizing Program?, I talk about the "natural sleep response" as being the root cause, and normally the main reason why people can't get to sleep at night.
It's really only one of the root causes of insomnia!
In fact, If you've ever stayed awake all night without being able to fall asleep, you've probably experienced this first hand...
Here's how it works:
Anyone with a healthy sleep cycle, has a "natural sleep response"
Imagine for a moment that the instant you lay your head on your pillow at night, you begin to feel relaxed... your mind turns off, and you fade off into sleep slowly and blissfully...
Sound impossible? Well, it's the reality for people with a healthy natural sleep response.
You see, sleep doesn't just come at you out of nowhere. In order for you to fall asleep your mind MUST drop its operating brain state from Beta, to Alpha brainwaves.
Imagine it being like the On/Off light switch to the world of sleep.
This natural switch from Beta to Alpha brainwaves, is what I call the "natural sleep response" - it also happens when you are deeply, deeply relaxed.
When you have a healthy "natural sleep response", this switch happens automatically.
Meaning, you don't have to think about it, you don't have to toss and turn, you don't need to take pills, you don't need to listen to hypnosis and relaxation tapes.
It just happens, without you putting any effort to "cause" it.
This is exactly what you're about to learn to do, effortlessly.

The 'Root' Problem That Causes Insomnia

As you know, most people drive cars, but don't really understand in detail how the mechanics of the car works. The same goes for sleep.
Most people think that sleep is just "sleep." You close your eyes, you fall asleep, you wake up refreshed and ready to go.
(If only it were that simple for most people!)
Just like car engines are most complex on the inside than on the outside. Sleep is actually a little bit more complex than it looks. There's actually a system that your body uses to fall asleep, while using sleep to re-energize itself. I call this system the inner sleep system.
You don't need to know all the details on how your inner sleep system works, right now you need to know one thing:
You're probably aware that your conscious mind turns off when you fall asleep before your more dormant "subconscious" mind takes over.
Every night, for most people, this happens automatically and it requires your brainwaves to drop from Beta brainwaves, to Alpha brainwaves.
Let me explain:
Just what are brain waves?
Well, to make it simple, your mind operates on 4 major brainwaves, when you measure brainwaves, you can see just how much activity is going on in all the different parts of your brain which can be measured in a unit called the "Hertz." (Hz)
What it really means is, how fast is your brain working?
(Imagine the set of four brainwaves like the gears in a car.)
