For the past month, I've been sleeping more deeply, and have been waking up feeling more refreshed, than I have in many years. This is due to a device called Vielight Neuro. It's a transcranial-intranasal near infrared (NIR) headset. It has four clusters of NIR lights that are placed on the scalp, plus another set of lights that is clipped to the nose, so that light shines into the nostril. All of these lights deliver a signal of 10 hertz to the brain.
What it's done for my sleep is remarkable. And I've tried many sleep aids over the years -- trazodone, Remeron, doxepin, Ambien, Sonata, benzos. Benzos got me into big trouble -- tolerance, dependence, horrible withdrawal. Plus I've tried antihistamines, melatonin, valerian, and many other nonprescription sleep aids. Vielight Neuro works better than any of them, by far.
It's possible that most of the sleep benefits are coming from the intranasal component of my Vielight Neuro. This is sold separately as the Vielight 810, and is about one-third the price of Vielight Neuro. Intranasal NIR penetrates far deeper into the brain than NIR that has to pass through the skull.
Here's Vielight's website:
Here's some information about intranasal light therapy for insomnia:
