I recently discovered Pzizz, which helps improve sleep and reduce stress, and I think it's WONDERFUL.

It's a piece of computer software that generates "meditation soundtracks" ... either to energuse you, or to help you to sleep (or, most recently, to help you to meditate), and you can generate infinite numbers of different soundtracks, of varying lengths (10 minutes up to an hour), that you can then play or your iPlayer, or MP3 player (or, in my case, on my BlackBerry). It's helping me to reconnect with my previous meditation experience.

I use it, at the very least, for 20 minutes, twice a day: after rising (before breakfast) and before my evening meal. This is an "energiser" track that last for 20 minutes.

I also use a "sleep" track of 60 minutes when I go to bed.

I bought Pzizz while I was visiting the USA, and used it for about three hours on the return flight, and for a couple of hours when I got home. I believe it greatly reduced my let lag.

I am also using it to help with weight loss; I'll write more about that later, but just to say I have lost 100lbs so far this year (without using Pzizz), but suddenly it's got much more emotionally and psychologically difficult, and I am experimenting with using Pzizz as a meditation method to help me over this rough patch.

Read some newspaper reviews of Pzizz:

If you would like to try Pzizz, I have uploaded a compressed (Zip) file of 20-minute Pzizz energisers (28 in total). You can download it here (be aware: it's about 650Mb; about a CD's-worth).

There's a document that describes how to use them here. If you like this, then please click this link to go to the Pzizz website to buy the software to make your own Pzizz's. It costs under £30 / $50. If you don't believe me, ask me how!
