End the Struggle: SLEEP NOW with Hypnosis!
A Natural Solution for Night Owls, Insomniacs, Shift Workers
DOES A GOOD NIGHT?S SLEEP SEEM TO ELUDE YOU?
You?ve had a tense and difficult day. The problems are not resolved, and tomorrow promises to be worse. You need a night of refreshing, rejuvenating sleep. But now you are worried, upset, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious or troubled with any of countless other feelings. You know you face another sleepless night. And you know how tomorrow will go, after a poor night?s sleep!
Of course, your own certainty of an inability to sleep is a large part of the problem. A few sessions of hypnosis could change your attitude, eliminate your fears, and teach you a self-hypnosis procedure which could remove the problem from your life ? and in the process, enable you to handle other problems in a manner less likely to produce sleep-destroying stress.
How does sleeplessness affect you personally? Do you feel worry and lie awake for hours before finally sleeping fitfully for a brief time before starting the new day? Or do you fall asleep promptly, then awaken later with mind churning, body tossing and turning, restless for the remainder of the night? Or do you drift in and out of light sleep all night long, and arise in the morning feeling totally exhausted?
Sleeplessness has a specific cause. Relief may very well involve seeking out the root cause, if it is not yet known. Hypnotic regression may be helpful in such cases. Relief may require medical attention in certain situations, or professional therapeutic counseling in others. Often the answer lies in our behaviors. In addition to melatonin, other chemicals produced naturally in the body work synergistically together to promote healthy sleep, and healthy bodies. Certain behaviors can disrupt these processes by which the body prepares itself for sleep.
Maybe the issue stems from consuming too many beverages or foods with brain-stimulating ingredients ? coffee, tea, cola drinks, chocolate, artificial sweeteners, etc. Even though alcohol is a depressant, by slowing the function of the central nervous system, it also disrupts sleep cycles in the brain. Strenuous physical or mental activity before bedtime can interfere with sleep ? workouts, challenging games, emotional conversation can be culprits affecting nighttime relaxation. Exposure to the blue spectrum of light after sunset (as emitted by electronics) suppresses the release of melatonin. Also, napping during daylight hours will delay sleep onset at bedtime.
Sometimes sleep is forfeited due to excitement. Anticipation of an important event, happy or otherwise, can disrupt the sleeping process. Such occasional sleeplessness is seldom a cause for concern. But when an over-active mind attempts to deal with tensions, anxieties, pains and problems, sleepless nights are predictable.
It may be necessary to consider your life and habit patterns, discuss them with a knowledgeable professional, then utilize hypnosis to create beneficial changes. Simply learning hypnotic relaxation can create physical and mental conditions conducive to achieving the necessary rest patterns.
WHAT?S THE ANSWER?
Old time remedies, such as warm milk, counting sheep, reading, exercise, etc., are at best temporary solutions. Yet sleeplessness responds wonderfully well to hypnotism. Often, following a hypnotic session and even without suggestions, the subject will sleep quite soundly due to the deep relaxation achieved during the session itself. Direct suggestions also can be given to the subject with wonderful effectiveness. Post-hypnotic suggestions can be given while in hypnosis, resulting in sleep at a specified time for a specified period. Additionally, individuals can learn to give post-hypnotic suggestions to themselves after instruction by the hypnotist.
Appropriate suggestions might include instructions to concentrate on relaxing daily. Remaining in one comfortable position can be helpful ? tossing contributes to the inability to sleep. Elimination of doubts about ability to sleep can be achieved. Unnatural sleep aids should be avoided. Further, it can be helpful to practice resting and/or relaxation in the presence of noises, pain or other disturbances, for easy sleeping can be learned and can become a beneficial habit.
It may prove effective to modify your physical surroundings. It is important to determine the specific irritation?whether it is a sound, a feeling or a body tension. Dim light or darkness, circulating air, appropriate temperatures are important. A minor amount of instruction in self-hypnosis can enable an individual to live and sleep well with those elements he cannot change, after changing those which he can.
HOW HYPNOSIS CAN HELP
Those seeking rapid, effective relief may turn to hypnotism. In addition to programming a client with suggestions conducive to restful sleep and teaching self-hypnosis, the hypnotist can create a personalized audio recording designed to deal with individual problems. The audio can simply lead the client into deep, comfortable relaxation with instructions at the end of the tape to enjoy restful sleep throughout the night and in the morning, awaken refreshed and enthusiastic about the new day!
The hypnotic induction likely will entail giving the subconscious permission to enjoy relaxation, to be aware of past accomplishments, and the comfort of having experienced success together along with the recognition that success is contagious, generating feelings of well-being.
Your hypnotist will help you replace negative thinking and counter-productive attitudes with new positive viewpoints, resulting in mental conditioning conducive to relaxation, peace and contentment. Problems of significance can be set aside (as the conscious mind is in essence disconnected) to allow sleep to take place. Finally, you will be programmed to relate the nighttime to sleep time, so that body and mind are synchronized and not in conflict. (For shift workers, you can use hypnosis to assist your body in correlating your work schedule with wakefulness, and have the trigger for sleep hours be determined by other factors aside from daylight.)
Through visualization a mental picture can be created of a filing system in which the problems of the day can be stored for the night, safe and secure, in a manner which will prove undisturbing during sleep hours yet available as needed on awakening. The refreshed awakening will then enhance much better handling of any disturbing elements as a bright new day begins.
