My guess is that every insomniac who looks at the picture on this blog post identifies with the horrible feeling of being unable to sleep and staring at their alarm clock in the middle of the night. No matter how hard they try to switch their mind off to get some rest sleep eludes them and the hour’s tick on by. Of course, sometimes problems getting to sleep are created are just temporary created by stress or disrupted schedules but when the problem occurs night after night then there is a bigger problem. This is usually the point when our clients contact us and ask for sleep hypnosis to help them get a good night’s rest.
So Why Do You Have a Sleeping Problem?
There are numerous reasons why you may be suffering from a problem sleeping. Here are some of the common issues:
- Noise – If someone is having a party in your street, a dog is barking in your neighbour’s garden or your partner is snoring then it creates noise. When we fixate on that noise we get increasingly agitated or angry and our ability to relax lessens.
- Heat/Cold – If your environment in your sleeping area isn’t good then you may have an issue dropping off.
- Bed – Got an uncomfortable mattress then it is time to get a new one. Nobody wants to sleep on something uncomfortable.
- Stimulants – Drinking too much tea or coffee is not going to help you nod off. If the stimulants are harder such as alcohol or drugs you may find it difficult to switch off.
- Pain – If you are suffering from any painful condition it may be difficult to relax.
But the biggest issue we come across time and time again creating a problem with sleep is anxiety or stress! For example, you have a boss at work who is a demanding tyrant who puts you on edge. You are up against deadlines and feel that you are under pressure all the time. When you come home you open up your laptop and continue to work late into the evening. When you get ready for bed your mind is still on the presentation and figures you have to give at work the following day and your mind cannot shut off. You spend the rest of the night barely getting any sleep worrying about what you have to do the next day.
Now, of course, not all anxiety and stress are quite as obvious as this. Sometimes the reasons for our inability to sleep are much more subtle and we find it difficult to identify exactly what the problem is. This is when a trained hypnotherapist will use sleep hypnosis to help you find out what could be creating the problem.
Hypnotherapy for Insomnia
Hypnosis for sleep is a safe and relaxing way to help our clients learn to switch off and get a good night’s rest. At Balance Hypnotherapy Nottingham we have a sleep protocol that we use with all our clients which can assist their insomnia. Generally, within two to three sessions the majority of our clients will find that they are able to sleep naturally and easily again. During our first sessions with our clients, we spend quite some time discussing their bedtime routines with them. It is likely that you will be asked to adjust this routine for a couple of weeks to our sleep protocol. Then we will conduct a session of sleep hypnosis with you to help you to relax your mind. At the end of your session, you will be sent an mp3 download to listen to.
Self Hypnosis For Sleep
Our Self Hypnosis Sleep download is designed to help our clients to quieten down their minds whilst they are in bed. We usually ask them to listen to the audio just before the bedtime we set for them and to drift off. There is no need to listen to the insomnia audio too closely. Most of our clients tend to find that after two or three nights of listening to the audio the mind switches off and enters a state of deep sleep. At our second session with our clients, we check in with them to see how they are doing and if everything is going well we conduct a reinforcing session. If there are still problems we will do a more analytical form of hypnosis to find out where the problem may be coming from. In some cases, there may be something bothering you in the back of your mind that you are not fully aware of. Once this problem is addressed it is likely you will resolve insomnia.
For clients who are unable to come to our clinics in Nottinghamshire, we offer Sleep Hypnosis Online via Skype or Facetime. You are also able to buy our Hypnosis for Sleep audio at our online shop.
