At our sleep clinic in Nottingham, we understand the importance of getting a good night’s rest. When you are sleeping well you perform better at work, are more energetic, you eat healthier and feel more relaxed and calm. Sleep deprivation is a negative state making you tired and moody, it impairs your ability to function well at home and at work and it impacts your general health. When you are suffering from insomnia it often feels as if there is no alternative apart from sleeping pills to remedy the problem but our sleep experts in Nottingham use entirely natural methods to help our clients get a good nights sleep.*
What Our Sleep Experts Can Help With
The vast majority of our clients come to see us for sleep problems related to insomnia. This usually involves issues with either getting to sleep when you first go to bed or getting back to sleep if you have woken up during the night.
Our sleep clinics services usually involve helping with sleep hygiene, stress reduction and quietening the mind before bed. We can also help to address any subconscious problems that might be keeping you awake.
As well as services related to insomnia we can also help if you are experiencing nightmares or sleep paralysis.
We also work with bruxism which is teeth grinding. Providing any alignment problems have been addressed by a dentist and ruled out then the bruxism is likely to have a psychological cause such as stress or internalised frustration. Hypnosis for teeth grinding can be a way of managing any subconscious problems and dealing with them in the open.
Finally, we may indirectly help with sleep apnoea particularly when it is related to weight issues or stress. Stress has been shown by studies to have a significant impact on sleep apnoea. Equally being overweight can also increase your risk of the problem. Our services can help patients to lose weight through mindful and intuitive eating and reduce their stress through deep relaxation. Contact us if you would like more information about how we can work alongside your doctors and the NHS to address sleep apnoea issues.
The Symptoms of Insomnia
If you are suffering from sleeping problems then you may experience an array of problematic symptoms. Our aim is to try and improve the quality of your sleep with our treatments. If you do have insomnia then you may experience some or all of these symptoms:
- Trouble falling asleep
- Waking in the middle of the night and being unable to get back to sleep
- Waking up too early
- Using sleeping tablets or alcohol to try and sleep
- Feeling tired and lacking energy
- Feeling irritable and having a short fuse
- Making more mistakes and not being able to focus as well during the day
Our Sleep Specialists Look at The Underlying Causes
Each of our patients may have very different reasons for experiencing problems with their sleep. During our initial assessment session, we take time to understand what could be causing the problem. This assessment session will look at lifestyle factors, worries, your medical history and much more so that our treatments can be tailored to you.
We know that typical reasons for insomnia or sleep problems include:
- Anxiety – stress and worry
- Pain – physical pain
- Environment – noise, heat, cold, snoring
- Medications – including alcohol or drugs
- Getting too Much Rest – Going to bed too early
- A worry about not sleeping
At our sleep clinic in Nottingham, we work with our clients to find the source of their problem and then help them to resolve the underlying issue. In particular anxiety and stress are behind a significant number of sleeping problems. Learning how to help the mind to switch off so that you feel relaxed and calm can have a significant impact on the way that you feel.
Our program for sleep hypnosis in Nottingham is a great way of helping our clients to reduce their anxiety levels and help their minds stop constantly whirring when they go to bed. If you do suffer from general anxiety and are unsure of the root cause then hypnotherapy for sleep can help many people identify the underlying problem so it can be addressed.*
Sleep Clinic Nottingham Treatments
During our first session with our clients, we spend time with you taking a thorough assessment to identify the issues that you are experiencing. Expect to be asked for information about your work, your relationships, your health as well as other information related to your emotional and physical well-being.
In this initial session, you will be given a sleep protocol to follow until your next session. You will also be sent a sleep download to assist with the program. We then run a follow-up session a week or two later. For many clients, only a couple of sessions are needed to resolve their problems. For others the general protocol does not shift the problem we then start a series of sessions to help you identify whether an emotional issue such as anxiety is behind insomnia. Once the underlying cause is found we then take steps to resolve the problem where possible. *
