pzizz uses a complex mathematical formula, based on structured random selection. This means that although the processor follows a predesignated path, the data it selects and subsequently delivers along the route is chosen in a random manner - making each experience different.
Simply put, every time you press "play", pzizz will mix a new sleep music soundtrack, so that you never hear the same thing twice!
This has several benefits, the foremost of which is the consistent active stimulation of the subconscious through novel but recognizable input.
The algorithm draws from the three levels of data files (words, sleep music and sound effects) stored in each preset, and mixes them together each time the start button is pressed, resulting in billions of combinations of sounds.
This unique system enables pzizz to achieve several things that normal linear tapes and nap techniques cannot. We have the strength of association when the conscious/subconscious hears the identifying sound and introductory music, but instead of making a decision to switch off, we keep the subconscious active by virtue of the random nature of the program that follows.
Neuro Linguistic Programming is defined as the influence of language patterns on the brain. It shows us how language patterns program our minds and form our views.
NLP is a system in which the brain is viewed as a computer that can be reprogrammed to think and feel in a way that helps people achieve specific goals.
This means that with the structured language patterns within pzizz we can achieve a change in the state of the body and mind with a lasting post-experience effect.

Your brain perceives binaural beats when you hear two tones of different frequencies, one in each ear, at the same time. For example, if there's a tone of 400 Hz in your right stereo headphone and a tone of 410 Hz in your left at the same time, you will perceive a beating pulsation because of the difference of 10 Hz in the two tones. You don't actually hear it, because it falls below the human range of hearing (20-20,000 Hz) — but you experience it as a beat.
Theoretically, your brainwaves will adjust to match the frequency of the beats. A beat that simulates a particular range of brainwave frequency (e.g., alpha, theta or delta) can actually change your brainwave frequency.
The sleep music files have been composed for pzizz specifically to enhance the desired state at each point in the program. Again, as with the language files, they are selected by the processor with an algorithm in a structured random manner maximizing their effect and enabling the total flexibility of each program. normal
Contrary to all the sleep sources that say to avoid napping during the day in order to sleep better at night, I believe it is actually a good idea to nap every day. But in order to make this work it is vital to stick to three rules:
Nap regularly
Keep it short, and
Make it in the early afternoon
By napping at the same time every day, your body will start to regulate itself to want to nap at that time and it will become easier to fall asleep quickly and take an efficient nap; 2) Keep it short – only nap for about 20 minutes. This length of time, a power nap, is just enough to make you feel refreshed and mentally more alert but doesn’t allow you to go into a deep sleep (which would interfere with falling asleep at night), and; 3) Make sure to nap in the early afternoon – preferably about 20 minutes after lunch, which is when your body is naturally inclined to feel sleepy, and early enough in the day to not interfere with falling asleep at night.
There is a lot of advice that says take a hot bath right before bed to relax yourself, but since the body needs to lower its temperature in order to fall asleep a hot bath will actually keep you up. If you find a hot bath very relaxing, enjoy it about 2 hours before your bedtime so that your body has enough time to cool down. Make sure to give your body at least an hour to cool down after a bath and prior to going to bed.
Similar to the point above, your body needs to cool down in order to fall asleep and stay asleep, so do what you can to make your room cool. For me, a cool bedroom has the added benefit of nestling into a heavy comforter, and I find the heavy warmth on top of me very soothing.
Don’t just “exercise”, but do so intensely, to the point of feeling physical exhaustion. At the end of the day, this is probably the single best thing for helping induce deep, restorative sleep. When I say “intensely”, I mean intense relative to your capability. For some this may mean running 5 miles, for others it may mean a brisk 20 minute walk that elevates the heart rate. Physical tiredness is absolutely essential to getting a good night’s sleep.
I can drink a few beers or glasses of white wine and sleep fine, but when it comes to red wine any more than one single solitary glass and I'm in for a poor night's sleep. Drinking more than one glass of red wine is a sure-fire way to wake me up after a few hour's of sleep and make it impossible to get back to sleep. This started after I turned 30 (although I don’ t know why this is).
When you wake up, don’t lounge around in bed. Don’t even stay inside. If possible, get out in the morning sun soon after getting up. The bright sunlight (or any bright light) tells your body’s natural biological clock that its time to wake up, and that same clock will then be set to tell your body its time to go to sleep about 14 to 16 hours hours later.
Avoid watching TV (or looking at a computer screen) at least 30 minutes before you go to bed. Many sources of sleep advice say to watch TV or do something similar like surfing the Internet to wind down before bed, but I think this is bad advice. Watching TV and going online are both mentally and visually stimulating. It may feel physically restful, but these activities stimulate the brain instead of helping the brain wind down enough to fall into sleep.
White noise is restful, and even more importantly, it means that I won’t be woken up with every little thump that the house makes. A fan is ideal because it does double duty of providing consistent soft background noise as well as keeping my room cool. White noise machines are also available. I got one from Radio Shack for about $20 that allows you to pick from sounds such as rain, babbling brook, and or a train (no whistles, just the wheels on the track).
Warm milk? Yech. A cup of herbal tea? No thank you. These are commonly advised to help you rest and fall asleep. I say find the routine that works for you - whatever it is - and just do it every night. For me, it’s the simple act of shutting the house down. Turning off all the lights, picking up stray toys, reviewing the schedule for the next day, planning breakfast for the morning rush, and locking each door. Feeling organized about the house helps me feel less anxious. This simple routine tells my body that its time to close down for the day, and it really does help. Find what helps you feel less anxious at the end of the day and incorporate into a nightly ritual.
At some points in our lives we are burdened by a great deal of stress. It may be chronic pain or other health condition, a family or work situation, financial stress, or all combined. And the stressful situation may well be unavoidable. But do what you can to take some control over the stress. There are so many ways to do this -- I encourage you to try some and just keep trying until you find what works for you. Simple meditation works best for me. It forces my mind to focus on something, thereby freeing up all the clutter to float to the surface, be recognized, and be gone. For others it is guided imagery, either with the help of a professional or with sleep music CD’s like pzizz, regular massage, yoga or tai chi, calming music, or a therapeutic run or bike ride after work. We all have different preferences -- try one that sounds appealing, but if you find it difficult to stick with it, then try a different one.
Often when I’m lying in bed, or even while I’m sleeping, I’ll think of a new idea for work. Or I’ll remember something important that I forgot to do during the day. Rather than try to remember it, which causes anxiety (which is stimulating) I write it down so it exists on paper and doesn’t have to stay in my head. And if I keep a notebook for these things right next to my bed I find I’m more likely to write it down.
During pregnancy, it's not uncommon to contend with sleep disturbances. These are usually due to anxiety and stress, hormonal fluctuations, and physical discomfort. As your pregnancy progresses, you may find it more difficult to find a comfortable position, or you may have to get up several times during the night to empty your increasingly cramped bladder. But take heart! Read our tips to get a better and more comfortable night's sleep, and the critical rest your body and mind need during this time.
Drink plenty of fluids during the day, but cut down before bedtime to minimize frequent nighttime urination.
Exercise regularly for optimum health, and to improve circulation (thus reducing nighttime leg cramps). Avoid exercising late in the day — exercise releases adrenaline that can keep you awake at night.
Stress and anxiety are key culprits in preventing a good night's sleep. Remember that worrying won't help you, but talking about your problems will. Find a friend or a professional who can listen and help you if there are issues in your life that are causing you to worry or feel upset.
If you establish a consistent, soothing, and comforting evening routine, you'll be able to relax and drift off to sleep with more ease. As bedtime approaches, try a few soothing rituals like drinking a cup of caffeine-free tea or hot milk, reading a chapter of a pleasant book, taking a warm shower, getting a shoulder massage, or having your hair gently brushed.
During the third trimester, sleep on your left side to allow for the best blood flow to the fetus and to your uterus and kidneys. Avoid lying flat on your back.
To prevent heartburn, don't recline for an hour or two after a meal. If heartburn is a problem, sleep with your head elevated on pillows. Also, avoid spicy, fried, or acidic foods (such as tomato products), as they may worsen symptoms.
If you're not getting enough rest at night, take a nap to help reduce fatigue. Find a quiet spot and relax, even if only for a half-hour nap.
Use a special pregnancy body pillow or a regular pillow to support your body. For comfort, try sleeping on your side with one pillow under your knee and another under your belly.
Completely eliminate caffeine and alcohol to prevent insomnia. If nausea is a problem for you, try eating frequent bland snacks (like crackers) throughout the day. Keeping your stomach slightly full helps keep nausea at bay. Eat a well-balanced diet. Not only is this crucial for your health and that of your baby, but getting the necessary nutrients will help keep you feeling satisfied — which will help you sleep more soundly.
See your doctor for advice if insomnia persists. Now more than ever, it's important to get the rest you need.
