Dr Nial Reynolds' Recordings for Children and Adults

"My working years were plagued by insomnia for which I was prescribed a variety of drugs. In 1970, my NHS doctor taught me how to relax myself when I woke in the night to get myself back to sleep. From his method, I developed a series of relaxation cassettes including, Deep Sleep.

I devoted myself entirely to the development and marketing of relaxation cassettes after my retirement and since then, they have been sold in practically every English-speaking country in the world, and to well over 50 health authorities in the UK.

For every day routine use, one does not always want serious advice, or talk about problems and how to face them. To cater for this need, I developed the Grey Squirrel series of relaxation cassettes, each session lasting about half an hour, where the relaxation is followed by a story about my adventures with my friend ‘Grey Squirrel’. They are pure fantasy. These recordings can also be used to help you get off to sleep, or back to sleep if you wake in the early hours, by switching off before the wake-up sequence. They are magic. Their value has been proved by restoring normal sleep patterns in children as young as 10, whose lives have been upset by the stresses of bereavement and divorce. The use of a relaxation cassette to help a child to sleep is a far better approach than resorting to the use of drugs."

Grey Squirrel relaxation recordings. Although these recordings were made for adults, they are suitable for children from age eight. Each recording has 2 MP3 sessions lasting about half an hour and, after a brief relaxation routine, a soothing, magical story is told. It is extremely useful having a gentle story to listen to when in a relaxed state as it distracts your mind from worrying thoughts and maintains, and even deepens, your state of relaxation allowing you to drift off to sleep.

Deep Sleep recordings Although this recording was made for adults, it is suitable for young people from age ten. There are six sessions each beginning with a brief relaxation session focusing on breathing and muscle tension; then a visualisation of journeys through, for example, beautiful countryside, a waterfall and a rainbow. Each session lasts 12-15 minutes.

These recordings are a serious tool to help you relax and should not be used casually while doing other things, especially when driving or operating machinery.

Each side has been specially designed to give you a full half hour of relaxation. If you want to use Grey Squirrel to help you get to sleep, you can switch off before the wake-up sequence at the end of the recording.

If you live with others, it will help if you can impress on them that your daily half hour is of benefit, not only to you, but also to them. It will make you a nicer person to live with.

Although made for adults, Grey Squirrel can be used with children and young people over age eight.

 

These recordings are a serious tool to help you get to sleep and should not be used casually while doing other things, especially when driving or operating machinery.

The results of over ten years of trial and experiment, on the use of recorded relaxation to help with sleep problems, have been brought together in this file to help you fall asleep naturally, stopping the internal chatter of your mind that keeps you awake.

After listening to a session I will say, ‘Goodnight to you. Sleep well.’ At that point switch off the player and let sleep come to you.

Although made for adults, Deep Sleep can be used with children and young people over age ten.
