Sleep Better at Night

A Good Night’s Sleep is Essential to Mental Wellbeing

NeurAlive offers advanced brain training to clients who face challenges associated with sleep disorders such as insomnia. Sleep disturbances can be debilitating in everyday life, and can even cause physical health problems. An inability to sleep could be a sign your brain is not functioning at its best. NeurOptimal® provides your brain with real time feedback, allowing it to reorganize itself and provide natural, painless, and medication-free relief from the underlying issues that can lead to disruptions in sleep patterns.

Although NeurOptimal® does not directly treat specific issues, it is a tool that helps alleviate symptoms associated with these and other conditions by improving the overall functioning of the central nervous system.

NeurOptimal® Trainers Around the World

39-year-old woman had sleepless nights since her pregnancy. She tried medication without success. After 4-5 sessions she started to have some really good nights. Then, at around 10 sessions, she experienced deep sadness about a lost love and some bad memories from her childhood came up, where she felt really lonely. At around 20 sessions, she slept like a baby, but this didn’t last. She came every 3 weeks, then every 4 weeks, and after a total time of 1 year the good nights stayed with her. She called me her hero!

A woman had 15 years of a bad sleep-pattern: sleeping 3 hours a day, waking up at 2am and not being able to sleep again. After 7 sessions she started to sleep 7 hours, non-stop. All symptoms disappeared gradually: depression, suicidal feelings, dizziness, etc. She is still stable and taking no medication 4 years later.

A client who woke up every night for the last 25 years could sleep for the whole night after 10 sessions.

A 35-year-old male experienced trauma after the death of a brother happened 10 years before in horrible circumstances. He had been unable to get to sleep since and had severe depression. He tried all the drugs and methods for sleep, even hypnosis. After the 3rd session, he slept 5 hours straight! At the 6th he fell asleep during the session. His depression improved and self-esteem grew. He focuses his life objectively and lives in the present. Today he is considered a happy man!
