Hey all. I've had a history of sleep problems for quite a few years, and I have tried a variety of therapies to try and solve the issues, including CPAP therapy, a full overnight sleep study, 3 different pharmaceutical sleep aids, 4 different anti depressants, traditional chinese medicine/herbal therapy & acupuncture, and most recently Hypnotherapy...
While I found the actual hypnotherapy session to be ineffective (and expensive), when she was starting the session she had me on a proteus, and I'm unsure which session it was (she hasn't responded to emails).. anyway, i did notice a little bit of a difference in my relaxation and mood, so I thought I'd pick one up.. She told me they'd run about $300CAD here in Calgary.. did some snooping and found one for $150USD, shipping in, so now I've got one and I've played with it a few times..
I've tried the "Goodnight" patten, 30, I think before bed a few nights, and noticed no real difference.. I'm wondering if there is a better suited program to use for me to basically shut off my brain at night.. I'm basically looking for something that drops me down to delta and leaves me there, so I can actually get some restful sleep at night. Any thoughts?

Also, What are the "ideal" settings for brightness and volume? Is there any? I can have them both cranked up and stand it, but im wondering if I'm losing the proper effect by being 'bombarded' so to speak..?

Finally, what are thoughts on using say one of the energizing patterns during aerobic exercise? (on a stationary trainer where i'm not going to run into innocent bystanders...)
Thanks for all your input, and I look forward to some success with this.
