works, but needs some polish
Roberta Shapiro's Sleep Solutions CD works; it does help me fall asleep. My only complaint is that the background music is mixed too loud relative to the narrator's voice. If you turn the track down, you can't hear the narrator. If you turn it up, the background music is loud. Even with the above caviats, I still give Roberta's CD a positive recommendation: it does help me fall asleep.
I had been relying on strong sleeping pills to get to sleep. I ordered Sleep Solutions + two other CD's on sleeping. Sleep Solutions was by far the best of all. I love it! I am now sleeping pill free - thanks to this great CD!

Very Helpful Techiques
I've had trouble falling asleep for a long time and recently got this CD after deciding to quit relying on the help of sleeping pills. Dr. Shapiro's relaxation techniques are excellent and have helped me to relax and fall asleep without the use of sleep aids. More importantly, I learned her relaxation techniques after listening to the CD several times and am now able to use them to fall asleep on my own. I now know that I can use these techniques to fall asleep no matter where I am or what kind of day I've had, and any time I need a little extra help I play the CD and am asleep in no time.
Does exactly what is says sleep solutions cant get past the first 5 mins
perfect highly recommend

Fabulous, it even calms my dogs!
Roberta, I really love it. Even when my three dogs are fighting on my bed, I put on your c d and they are asleep with in three minutes and I follow right behind them. Your voice is so relaxing and your music is always beautiful. I have given away ten of these already to my closest friends and they all feel the way I do. I hope someday to stay awake until the end so I can hear the whole thing, but every night I drift right off to beautiful dreams. Thank you for some of the best nights of sleep I have ever had.

This even helps my baby fall asleep
This cd is really fantastic. Not only has it helped me fall asleep more easily, it even helps my two month old fall back asleep. After a 2 am feeding one night, my baby was wide awake. Desparate for her to go back to sleep, I tried putting on this cd. Amazingly, it soothed her to sleep in a few minutes! Roberta Shapiro's soothing voice works wonders for both of us and helps us achieve a restful night's sleep.

Forever grateful....
I began to use the Sleep Solutions CD during a very stressful stage of my life. I was having a hard time going to sleep and even worse, couldn't go back to sleep if I woke up in the middle of the night. This CD guided me through that difficult time and I am forever grateful to Roberta Shapiro. Her relaxation techniques are wonderful, her voice is soothing & gentle, and the result is a great night's sleep. I would definitely recommend this CD to anyone who is having difficulty falling asleep or who wakes up in the middle of the night.

The Calming Collection - Sleep Solutions
The first selection on this CD is very relaxing and helpful in getting to sleep. Unfortunately, the second and third selections require an adjustment of the volume control which is annoying.
i was very pleased with the results. i got a nice rest . i don't have unrealistic expectations of sleeping 7 hours, but i got more rest than usual for me.

has helped many times
I recommend the use of the this CD for chronic insomnia and not acute. It does help the mind relax if that has kept you up at night like me. I have my acute insomnia under control with herbs, vitamins and acupuncture. Playing this CD when I first get in bed helps the best as opposed to using it later in the night when I realize I am in a funk and cannot get to sleep. I also use earplugs that allow me to hear my heart beat and breathing taking my mind of stresses that can keep me awake.
This cd is extremely helpful in letting go of the worries and concerns of the day and promoting healtful, healing sleep.
I had such high hopes when I read all the great reviews for this cd, and after giving it too many tries, I am terribly disappointed. (I'm the type of insomniac that falls asleep easily, but after 4 or 5 hours, wakes up continuously. I also need earplugs, so even if this cd was starting to work, I still have to sit up, turn it off, put in earplugs, and try to fall asleep again).
Shapiro's repetitive instructions just annoy me (I heard you the first time!), and tracks 3 and 4 (to lull you back to sleep after you've woken up) were much too short and hard to visualize. As track 2 progresses, her voice gets too soft to hear, making me strain to hear it and waking up again.
I give it 2 stars because I like her mind-clearing technique; I use it along with some mini-moves from "The Insomnia Solution," a book that's finally helping me calm my mind and get some rest. Forget the cd and try the book.

A+ from me and the girls
Not only do I find Roberta's CD unbelievably relaxing but I was surprised to find it put my dogs straight to bed as well. I recommend this cd to anyone who just wants a peaceful rest day or night.
I also have to say if you have a dog at home who gets upset in thunderstorms or has seperation anxiety I totally recommend putting on this cd to help calm your furry friend or new puppy.

Never Made it Best 17 in the Count Down
When Roberta counts down from 20 backwards, I'll bet she keeps on going after she gets to 17, but I guess I'll never know - because I'm sound asleep by the time she gets that far!
Make sure that you are in a comfortable position when you start listening to the recording because if you are anything like me you are apt to wake up eight hours later in exactly the same position you fell asleep in - except wonderfully refreshed!
It takes me several minutes to wake up - it is as though I am swimming back to the surface after a very deep dive.
I would highly recommend this recording to anyone looking for a good night's sleep - especially if you are in a stressful situation, such as being hospitalized. They say "Sleep is the best medicine." - but it is often the one kind of "medicine" that it is impossible to obtain in the hospital!

Excellent sleep aid
This is an excellent cd to listen to when you need help calming your mind to enable you to sleep. It really works! I use it every other night when I have had a stressful day to help me forget the issues of my day and focus on relaxation and sleep.
Angela Coldwell - Author of 100 Essential Steps to Less Stress and Anxiety
I ordered this for my husband, who has insomnia. On the CD, the voice leading you through the relaxation gradually becomes softer and softer with the thinking I suppose that the listener would have drifted off to sleep by the time the voice became inaudible. But my husband found that he would strain to hear the voice as the volume became lower, which brought him out of the relaxed state. He tried it a few times, and it didn't work for him.

I am so glad I listened to my instincts and ordered this cd. I use it to fall asleep and just to calm down after a stressful day. (sometimes even in middle of a stressful day.) They are exactly as advertised - calming collection. THANX ROBERTA!

VERY good, HIGHLY recommended
I agree with several of the other reviews I read before purchasing this CD for myself. I prefer the one I had made personally, but I cannot find it :(
This one definatly will do!
This is awesome! Usually I lay awake and worry about all the things I have on my mind but this cd has taught me how to turn off or brush away the worries. When I turn my mind off I always fall asleep. I love both the hypnosis and the meditation.They are amazing to learn. I feel very gratefu!

Absolutely Fantastic!!!!!
Isn't amazing how sometimes the most effective remedies are also the most inexpensive and available!! I highly recommend this most wonderful CD. It is hard for me to imagine that there are people who are consistently taking all kinds of powerful medications when you can buy this CD. Roberta Shapiro seeems to have a majical "sleepy voice". It is quite hard to make it awake to the end of the CD!! In addition, she teaches a powerful relaxation technique called, "signal breathing" that I have found helpful even in my waking hours. Throw away your Ambien- This is where its at!

You'll be amazed......
at Roberta Shapiro's calm, soothing voice and her ability to coax you into a gentle, relaxed mental state. As one who has tried (literally!) every CD, pill, "new" method, I truly believe this is a breakthrough product which should be available to every physician in this country. Doc, no need to reach for your good ol' pen + prescription pad,better to recommend this incredible product !!!
I needed to sleep, and nothing seemed to work. My therapist recommended that i buy a "sleep-CD" so that i could fall asleep. I found this CD while searching the internet, and ever since i started to use it i have fallen asleep much faster and have slept sounder and longer.

Roberta Shapiro's CD is helpful
This CD did not cure my insomnia, but it taught me how to relax and focus on the goal of restful sleep. It doesn't make me fall asleep instantly, but now I can fall asleep within an hour, rather than hours, so that's definitely a huge improvement.
what a relief to finally have found such a simple and easy solution to one of my biggest problems - not being able to fall asleep. or falling asleep and waking up soonafter trying to get back to sleep again. i was recommended this cd by a friend and i bless her every day. you will too!!!

WOW!!!!!!! Amazing...simply magnificent
Wow! This CD is such a great alternative to sleeping pills. My mom got it but I stole it from her. It calms me down and enables me to fall asleep quickly, and I feel more refreshed for work the next day.
I am in love with this CD. I have tried so many, and this one is just wonderful. I just threw away the ambien, and am hooked on this instead with no bad side effects, and the wonderful side effect of feeling more relaxed all day long. It makes a big difference that this person is a trained professional with a WONDERFUL voice. Thanks!!

Amazing how R. Shapiro works wonders for me
I have had problems sleeping well for years. I purchased Roberta Shapiro's CD after trying several other remedies that did not work. I was desperate for a solution - and am ecstatic to have found one! I listen to her CD every single night before I go to sleep. I am at a point where I do not even reach the end of the CD because I have already fallen asleep. Her voice is so relaxing and soothing that I am instantly calmed when I hear it. Further, I have also begun to use some of the techniques (signal breaths) when I am in tense situations in order to relax - and it works. I have recommended this CD to several friends - one of whom I gave it to to test out and "forgot" to give it back (I had to buy another one).

Amazing CD anyone with sleep problems should try!
I've always had trouble falling and staying asleep due to nightmares or because I'm a "light sleeper". However, i tried Sleep Solutions a few months ago and I was relieved that I was FINALLY able to fall asleep without the use of any medications. I loaded this CD onto my iPod and I use it every time I travel...Roberta's voice is so soothing, warm, and serene that it's very easy for me to relax to while at home or traveling. I highly recommend it.
Roberta Shapiro's cd has allowed me to look forward to falling asleep. Rather than watching the hours go by, I am asleep within minutes. I say go for it...Thank you, Roberta!

Effective tool to overcome insomnia!
I've been having sleep problems for almost 4 years and have tried different sleep CDs. Most of them are either hypnosis or nice calming music, or subliminal messages and none of the other ones I tried seemed to really help. This one is different and I can highly recommend it -- it is a mix of hypnosis and nice sounds and music, but it also focuses on teaching you how to block out and control your thoughts and that is an invaluable skill to learn for someone with insomnia...well worth a try!

Better than the Sleep CD on Family Guy
On Family Guy (I think), they had a CD to help you sleep-- it was supposed to be "the sounds of nature" or something like that. When they played it- instead of hearing the leaves rustling in the wind, or the waves breaking in the ocean, you heard a grizzly bear attacking other animals, and other frightful sounds of nature.
This CD works A LOT better!
