What Causes Irregular Sleep Patterns?

I m reporting my experience w/ the Fisher Wallace stimulator per instructions from the company. I used it about a month this summer, 2015. In the first week I had a couple of unusual incidents: One afternoon I had tremendous ambition and accomplished lots. A few nights later I had very active, but not disturbing dreams. I feel much better w/ no anxiety, and have returned to my regular work schedule, but (this is hard to explain) I can t be sure it is due to the FW device, though I made no other changes. When I ve taken Prozac, or even an OTC pain pill, I know whether or not it has had the desired effect. I don t have that AHA feeling w/ the FW device, though it is the only new thing I did. It has not helped my irregular sleep patterns. In fact, when I used it before bedtime, it seemed to stimulate me to wakefulness. Am eager to learn/experiment so I can get more benefit from the device.

Hi! The FW device is new to the world of medical technologies for the mind body complex. You are absolutely right in mentioning that, when you take medication or the like, you can judge, the effects. Remember, you need to experiment with the device and judge it's effects, on you as a unique individual. Because of these facts, you might wish to cultivate a scientific attitude of measured curiosity. People, have used the same approach to medical technologies like binaural beats and light sound machines and alpha stimulators. I wish you the best in learning and benefiting as you go on. This is true. Regards, Dr. Neel Kudchadkar.
