Insomnia sheffield, U407
New sleep habits
- By changing the ways your subconscious mind automatically approaches relaxation
and sleep, hypnotherapy can completely overturn your old sleep habits.
Insomnia
- Everyone at some point in their life will experience some problem with
sleep, be it too little or too much, being unable to fall aleep or frequently
waking up, having interrupted sleep or waking up tired.
- If your sleep difficulties leave you feeling tired during the day it is called insomnia. Insomnia can be chronic (long-term) or transient (short-term) and ranges from mildly infuriating to a serious precursor for anxiety and depression disorders.
- Friends and family are often on hand with 'helpful hints', many of which do help many people but if you have come this far then you've probably tried them all and need a more profound change than that.
Switching off
- Hypnotherapy can teach you a new depth of relaxation and a more
complete 'switching off' in your head when it hits that pillow. A completely
new sleep behaviour can then emerge that enables you to re-energise fully
each night. For some, the recovery of this full potential can be life changing.
- To achieve the greatest success we will look at a whole range of sleep related factors; environmental, behavioural, dietary and in the mind's ability to slow down thoughts at night. By dealing with all of these at the same time you can make the transition to being a good sleeper without any other factors tripping up the process.
Some of the typical symptoms of insomnia are:
- take longer than 40 minutes to fall asleep
- wake repeatedly
- wake too early
- unable to get back to sleep
- only get to sleep with the aid of pills or alcohol
- tired in the day
- frequent headaches
- irritability
- lack of concenration
- not refreshed on waking
Other sleep related disorders that hypnotherapy
can help with are:
- Enuresis (bed wetting) 
- Snoring (& disturbance of the partners of snorers)
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Nightmares and night terrors
Sufferers of the following sleep disorders may
find that hypnotherapy is worth trying:
- Sleep Walking
- Hypersomnia
- Narcolepsy
- Sleep Apnoea
*Required disclaimer: Results, symptoms and treatment may vary from person to person, all individual cases are taken on merit.
Causes of insomnia are highly individual so their treatment is too. The most common methods of treatment are:
- Learn deep relaxation with hypnosis
(training in how to relax very deeply each night and how to 'switch
off' more completely)
- Hypnotic Suggestions
(these look to show your subconscious mind that it is good at sleeping)
- Stress management
(using hypnotherapy and NLP, the levels of your daily stress can usually be
substantially reduced resulting in there being less 'on your mind' in
the first place)
- Psychotherapy
(Sometimes it is old, troublesome memories that are at the root of insomnia.
These can be explored, if requested, e.g. by discussion or regression.
These memories can then be reprocessed from a better viewpoint, usually allowing you to remove
the troubling effects they are causing)
- Exploration of Lifestyle & Environmental
factors.
(a wide range of factors can be explored to help shift your life's overall
balance towards easier sleep)
- Break the old cycles.
(NLP techniques can be used to break the old cycles of sleep behaviour.
This generally makes it much easier to adopt the new successful patterns)
- Timeframe:
This really
depends on the unique individual and the sources of their particular
sleep problem.
