Bonny I hope this machine works for you. A good nights sleep is priceless!

In terms of insomnia I'm not sure if you have tried meditation or visualization tapes, but they can work for many ppl. They will also help with the blood pressure.

Also there is some recent research out there that seems to indicate watching even 30 minutes of TV prior to bedtime, can negatively effect your sleep patterns.

Then of course there is the mattress importance to proper sleep. We are in the midst of trying to select our next mattress. Many of us hold onto our mattresses way too long, long past the point where we are getting a comfy night sleep. We are looking at temporpaedic and the sleep number beds at this point.

Of course diet and liquids, no stimulants past 6pm or so, some ppl even limit as early as 4pm. ie; caffeine drinks of one kind or another.

For restless leg syndrome; you can try eating a banana about 1hr prior bedtime, also a hydrotherapy technique which is called dry brushing. Also it might help to put your legs up the wall for 10-15 minutes prior to going to sleep. You can combine this with your meditation/visualization technique.

Hoping that this machine is the answer for you.
