Sleep Enough

Here’s an unconventional insomnia aid – Orgonite. Okay, orgonite is something I have been using, in trying to improve my sleep quality for some time now. I think it might be helpful to some people who have tried out a lot of things for their sleep without much success, so today I am going to share a little on my experience with using orgonite for sleep.

When you hear the term, what goes in your mind? Does orgonite sound like some wacky New Age thingy? You don’t have to read on if you are going to dismiss it, but orgonite is gaining a reputation as a fairly effective (if not pretty unorthodox) sleep aid. If you’re open to trying out unconventional stuff, then read on.

Well, what is orgonite? Its basically solidified plastic with some metal pieces embedded inside, plain and simple. I could describe it as something that may help slow down your brain wave patterns in a subtle manner, and I figure it could have some potential in helping with insomnia problems. Though it might not work for everyone, it is cheap, safe (external object) and you can even make one yourself.

The closest things I can think of to compare with it are those expensive titanium pendants I sometimes see being sold (which it is claimed some athletes and celebs use), or the gemstone amethyst, which has been traditionally prescribed for insomnia, for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. While the use of amethyst for sleeping is considered an old wives tale, but today, the orgonite theory seems to provide some validity to the concept.

Orgonite is a simple contraption made out of polymer resin, a quartz crystal, and aluminum or steel shavings, all molded into a hardened polygon. It is originally liquid (from the liquid polymer resin), but is poured into a mould and when it hardens, it turns into any shape you want it to be. Here is a photo of my orgonite. This particular shape is called a “tower buster.”

The principle behind orgonite is simple – It is supposed to transmute negative energy into positive energy (therefore it may have a subtle calming effect on the mind). It doesn’t require anything if you want to use it to aid your sleep, other than putting one under your pillow at night. This site explains everything about orgonite if you want to learn more on how it actually works – by transmuting negative ions into positive ions. Just for the record, the properties of orgonite has been known for many decades by a few scientists studying it.

In the case of negative ions, lots of devices around us like TVs, mobile phones, computers, transmission towers, or fluorescent lights do emit them, plus radiation and more. Although subtle, these may interfere with our brain waves and sleep quality. Orgonite seems to reduce or counteract their negative effects, or so it seems.

Since I started putting an orgonite piece under my pillow, I notice I’ve had some deep sleep nights which I think is great, as it has been quite a while since I’ve slept that well. But it doesn’t happen consistently every night, so I can’t really ascribe all that to orgonite. Therefore, I cannot vouch for orgonite as a sure fire insomnia cure for everyone, but it’s worth a try if for nothing else. I’ve met many people online who have stated that orgonite did help them sleep much better (in some cases like babies) – I find that quite remarkable.

There is a downside too. In a few cases, it seems orgonite did not help with sleeplessness but made the person feel too restless! What I think might have happened in many cases is that there is an initial adjustment period (of up to a couple of weeks), but after that, many people do find orgonite helped them sleep better and have better dream recall the next morning. Some say orgonite made their dreams much more vivid than they would have liked.

So there you go. If you have pretty much tried everything but still have trouble sleeping, why not consider an unorthodox approach like orgonite?
