The next day I invited my sister over with her kids to tell her about my E.R. visit. I wanted her opinion because she had been battling insomnia for years. She told me how she started taking prescription sleeping pills a few months earlier.

“Does it help?” I asked.

She said she *thought* it did... but it also had *a lot* of side effects. She told me she’s going to a therapist and felt like that was helping her find healthier solutions.

I considered doing both… but the more I researched the negative side effects of sleeping pills, the more scared I became of them! Chronic use leads to dependency, and accidental overdoses are a risk I wasn’t willing to take.

Not only are pills dangerous, but they can also be highly addictive. I didn’t want to start a cycle I couldn’t get out of, nor did I want my respiratory system to be compromised just for the sake of getting a good night’s sleep.

However, I did like the idea of therapy. So I started looking for a therapist who specializes in insomnia… and that’s when I discovered something that completely changed my life.

I Was Shocked by What The Therapist Recommended…

Shortly after meeting my sister, I scheduled an appointment with a therapist in my area. I told him about my recent sleepless nights and how I was considering meds but had concerns.

He said, “Yes, I wouldn’t resort to medication as your first option. There are other ways to treat insomnia.”

We discussed various forms of therapy and decided to meet every week. Then he did something strange that I’ll never forget – he grabbed something from his desk and told me to open my hand.

When I did, he placed a small oval-shaped device in my hand. It looked like a miniature computer mouse.
