Drowing in Ambient Beauty
I bought this cd because after a full 10 hour day of work as a customer service representative my mind is gone. I feel so stressed after the day is over and I need something to help me unwind. When I am ready to go to sleep I pop this cd into my surround sound system and let it play. As you listen it is like drifting into an angelic cloud of beauty. I fall alseep everytime. I know some people have complained about the type of sounds on it but to be fair it is called Ambient music. If you are not familiar to this type of music. Ambient is very subtle sounds with minimalistic changes in chords. It is meant as background music and is not very melodic. If you are looking for more relaxing music I suggest checking out yanni or something like that. But if you want to drift to sleep fast, give this is a try. Keep an open mind and this will work.

No one is perfect
I have several of Dr. Thompson's CDs and I like all of them.
However, this CD is not up to the calibre of the others. It sound like an old vinyl LP that has been played to many times, and then played at a slower speed, complete with murky noise. The only way this would put me to sleep is through complete boredom. I wasted my money on this one.

Like An Aurally-induced Narcotic
I bought this CD half-expecting it to work. I was willing to give it a shot, but, if it didn't work after the third try, I planned to sell it to someone else. I got home at almost midnight (following a brutal shift at a clothing retailer) to find that the disc had arrived. I put it in my CD player and laid down for the night.

I died, then.

I awoke the next morning feeling so well-rested that I swore I'd gotten ten hours of beautiful sleep. I got seven and a half hours, but it felt like so much more. I've been using this CD constantly for over a week and a half, and I have been getting the best sleep I've gotten in YEARS.

Dr. Thompson was wrong to title this CD as being musical in nature... it's merely sonic. Most of what you hear has no perceivable rhythm; it is, instead, a flowing river of new-age sounds. It lulls you right to sleep. Tip? Just make sure to keep the CD on overnight...

Better than a Sleeping Pill !!!
I was wondering if this will work since i have diffculties sleeping. Within 15 minutes I was gone!. You could have called and shaken my bed and I wouldnt even move. You go into such a deep sleep that you wake up still floating. Works as good as ambien!

Not what I expected
It's a big stretch to call this music. A more descriptive title would be Ambient Sounds. It's more like variable white noise, or a low, almost inaudible base monotone with hissing. It may work if you want background sounds all night, but I prefer to listen, relax, and then turn it off when I'm sleepy.

I bought Peaceful Music for Sleep for our daughter's naps. It's also by Jeffrey Thompson, and it is music-like a gentle flute and piano duet. It certainly seems to help our daughter sleep, and puts me in a restful and peaceful mood too.

I expected Ambient Music to be similar, so I was very disappointed. I can't listen to this CD long enough to find out if it works. I suggest you listen to the sample if you can. (I didn't.) On my computer it sounds like very quiet, almost inaudible hissing. That's what this CD is like. Obviously it works for some, but if you want relaxing music, try Peaceful Music for Sleep instead.
