Lynn-Marie, this may sound strange, but it works for me. I too am plagued with insomnia, so I play various Qigong tapes to put me to sleep. I usually start with the Level 1 explanation tapes, and if I am lucky, I fall asleep before the end of the first side. If I am still not asleep, I turn it over. However, I also have the first CD of Level 2 on the same player, and if I am awake after both sides of the cassette, I flip a switch and play the CD. Sometimes I am asleep before Paul finishes his introduction. Sometimes when people have insomnia, they do not realize that they have even slept at all. If I wake up, and the CD or tape has finished, I know that I did actually sleep some. I don't know why this works; I think I am just comforted by the sound of Master Lin's voice and positive thoughts. I hope this is of some use to you.
