Hypnotherapy & Counselling for Sleep Issues

HYPNOTHERAPY FOR SLEEP ISSUES

Many of us have experienced a sleepless night. It’s often the same experience for most people, you lay awake and your mind races. You think about tomorrow’s seemingly impossible to-do list, or a problem you may be encountering at that time. Your body wants to sleep. But your mind has other plans.

Around 16 Million adults in the UK suffer from sleepless nights, and that could explain why we average just 6.8 hours of sleep per night. 

In other words, we’re chronically sleep deprived, and this lack of sleep limits the body’s ability to repair and restore itself. But sleep hypnosis for insomnia can offer a solution for many, helping us to get to sleep faster and to have better quality sleep. Sleep is very important for health.

During sleep, our bodies naturally heal themselves, the mind is refreshed, hormone levels are restored.  While you sleep your body repairs important cells and tissues and a variety of important health processes happen.  In short, when we deprive ourselves of quality sleep, we’re putting our mental and physical health at risk.

Unfortunately, resetting the circadian clock to achieve deep, restful sleep isn’t always easy.

HOW DOES HYPNOSIS HELP INSOMNIA SUFFERERS?

In simple terms, sleep or insomnia hypnosis is a technique for inducing deep sleep, and it is similar to traditional clinical hypnosis. At bedtime, you follow steps to achieve physical and mental relaxation, and once you reach this relaxed and focused state, you’re provided with suggestions that can help the mind to drift off into sleep. With lower levels of stress and anxiety the probability of a really good night’s sleep is greatly enhanced.

Occasionally there is an underlying issue that may need to be resolved.  In these instances, Hypnoanalysis is a good alternative to clinical hypnotherapy.
