How many times have you tried to fall asleep and just couldn’t? Maybe you are experiencing insomnia, or maybe it’s something else. Whatever the reason might be, there are ways of helping yourself sleep better. In this blog post we will discuss how hypnosis can help with that. I used to have trouble sleeping; it was difficult for me to fall asleep. I would toss and turn all night long. It didn’t matter how late it was, or if I had been up early that day – this is just what my body did. When you are always tired during the day there’s only so much energy you can give your mind before fatigue starts taking over and things start going downhill fast. Anxiety has a huge toll on people because of how much power it has in controlling their lives. But hypnosis therapy helps with these issues as well! For many people who suffer from anxiety, they might not realize that they are actually subconsciously creating these problems themselves- by thinking negatively about situations or worrying too often.
Hypnosis therapy can help people to stop these behaviors. When you are in a deep trance,
it’s much easier for your body and mind to relax because of how hard they work during the day. It is possible that this anxiety could be brought on by other factors than just thoughts or worries- like issues with sleep or diet. Hypnotherapy may also help patients get their back if insomnia has been plaguing them! People who have tried hypnotherapy before know first hand what an effect it had on their lives- which is why so many are recommending this treatment to others as well: “I’ve never felt better about myself,” says one patient after her hypnotism session.” The next time I found my eyes drooping at the dinner table, I did what was suggested- and it worked like a charm. Hypnosis is an effective treatment for all sorts of psychological or physical maladies: depression, anxiety disorder, ADHD, PTSD (post traumatic stress syndrome), phobias including fear of flying and needle drills work best when they are used in conjunction with other treatments like therapy.
The benefits don’t stop there either! Hypnotherapy can be helpful as part of smoking cessation programs to reduce cravings that people may experience while trying to quit smoking cigarettes.” are you still asleep?” It’s time we start talking about the sleep deprivation epidemic sweeping our nation. “It has now reached a point where some experts have declared it a public health crisis,” says Dr. David Dinges, chief of the division of sleep and chronobiology at the University of Pennsylvania.
The average person needs between seven to nine hours a night, but most people are getting only six or less.”
“We have been hypnotized by our technologies,” Dinges worries. “It is now possible in Western society that you could spend 24 out of your last 48 hours awake.” It’s never too late to change this pattern as long as we make it a priority to get more than five consecutive days without spending any time with devices like phones, tablets, computers, video games—anything that has an LED screen (except for TVs). When faced with insomnia during times when screens are not available or if staring into one seems impossible: try guided imagery exercises.

- In the past few years there is evidence suggesting that all-n exercises.
- In the past few years there is evidence suggesting that all-night sleep is not necessary for the majority of people to be healthy.
- In fact, it can even be detrimental: There are some studies linking sleeping more than nine hours a night with mortality risk factors like obesity and diabetes.
What does seem important are regularity and consistency in bedtimes as well as rise times.”
“The average person has what we call ‘social jet lag’ or these big discrepancies between their circadian rhythms (i.e., normal 24 hour cycle) and when they’re actually active,” Dinges says. “When this occurs on a chronic basis throughout adolescenc as most kids are starting school an hour earlier every year—this results in poor quality sleep, neurobehavioral problems, health consequences, and academic difficulties.”
“The take-home message is that school start times need to be adjusted in a big way so they are more aligned with sleep patterns, and we should also consider the role of technology,” says Dinges. “We cannot continue down this path without expecting some consequences.” Conclusion: The average person has what we call ‘social jetlag’ or these big discrepancies between their circadian rhythms (i.e., normal 24 hour cycle) and when they’re actually active,” Dinges says. “When this occurs on a chronic basis throughout adolescence—as most kids are starting school an hour earlier every year—this results in poor quality sleep, neurobehavioral problems, health consequences, and academic difficulties.”
