Hypnosis For Insomnia:
Most people have suffered insomnia in some form – whether it was the night or two before a big interview or exams but it is estimated that between 30-50% of the population is affected by transient or short-term insomnia and approximately 10% by chronic insomnia.
The classification of insomnia is based on how long the problem has been present:
- less than a week – transient insomnia;
- one to three weeks – short-term insomnia;
- longer than three weeks – chronic insomnia.
While you may have tried and tested many cures for insomnia which may have provided partial but not sustained relief, hypnotherapy for insomnia can provide the best solution to your inability to sleep through the night.
Hypnosis for insomnia treatment has a two pronged approach (1) you achieve a restful good quality sleep and (2) you can find the underlying cause for your insomnia and treat this. This gives you the best result.
Causes of Insomnia:
- stress
- depression
- emotional upset
- someone snoring
Whatever the reason for your insomnia, hypnosis can help you.
Insomnia Symptoms:
- difficulty falling asleep;
- difficulty remaining asleep;
- daytime difficulties with tiredness; impaired memory and concentration; irritability.
You may start to dread bedtime as you fear the challenge of falling asleep but this in itself creates a stress response in the body triggering adrenaline which is not conducive to sleep.
Hypnotherapy as a treatment for insomnia:
You develop good sleep hygiene. With the relaxation element of hypnosis, your focus for your mind becomes relaxation of the mind and body, not sleep. As you listen to my calm, soothing tones, you are providing your mind with a direction, instead of letting it do its own thing. The function of sleep is to allow the body and mind to repair and rejuvenate and any worries can be worked out in the subconscious mind.
As a hypnotherapist, I know the difference listening to the CD can make as a re-enforcement of the good work done in session. As I tell all my clients, I am better than a sleeping tablet because you achieve a good quality of sleep (without the groggy feeling) and a sense of wellbeing (developing the ability to feel calm and relaxed inside).
Sleeping tablets, alcohol, drugs etc may provide transient relief for insomnia but they are not addressing the underlying reason for your insomnia.
If you would like to experience 1. sleep and 2. deal with your underlying reason for insomnia, hypnotherapy is the solution.
