I'm in love with Ambien, but my doctor wants us to break up. I concede that it's probably time. I've been using the prescription sleep aid, usually half (5mg) a pill, to squelch my sleep-onset insomnia for years. I've even slept with Ambien's colleagues, with mixed results: Sonata was too weak; Rozerem was perhaps too strong (I could barely keep my eyes open the following day); and Lunesta literally left a bad taste in my mouth. Over-the-counter supplements like melatonin and the ubiquitous Tylenol PM never impressed me either. Sure, Ambien works for me, but as many of us know, dependency can be a scary thing.

This week’s Time Out New York features a story titled “Trebled Mind,” about Brain Music Therapy (BMT). As a life-long insomniac, music reporter Mike Wolf says he’s tried everything––save “those lame CDs of whale songs and Amazon rain forests”––so the idea of having his brain waves recorded and put to music wasn’t so weird. The therapy, he reports, was founded by Dr. Iakov I. Levine, a Russian doctor, in 1991 and is now dispensed by only one person in the U.S., Galina Mindlin in New York City. BMT records your brainwaves while you wear a mesh cap with electrodes, and then passes them “through a computer algorithm that composes the exact sequence of notes that promote both relaxation and activation (increased alertness and acuity) in that specific patient,” he writes.
