Getting enough good quality, restful and restorative sleep can make a big difference to how you cope with day to day life. You may be struggling to get to sleep, be waking up in the night and then not be able to get back to sleep. You may wake up still feeling sluggish and not rested even if you think you must have had enough time asleep. This may be something that has been happening fairly recently or could have been an issue for several years
Sleep issues can often be associated with stress. The more we have stress in our lives from busy jobs, family commitments or life in general, the quality of our sleep declines. It’s during our sleep (REM stage) that our brain is processing the events of the day, making sense of experiences and our brain is actually really active and busy! If we have too much ongoing stress the brain is unable to process what it needs to. The result is we wake up not feeling rested and in a vicious cycle of being tired and the increasing stress continues.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps to improve sleep in a natural way. In the initial consultation we discuss your sleep patterns and how it is affecting you. Often there are other factors, such as anxiety which may be impacting your sleep. We discuss how our brains process stress and what we can do about it to improve the situation for you.
By reducing stress levels, taking small positive actions enhanced through hypnosis and allowing the brain to process the events of each day during sleep, you can get back on top of things. You will be given access to an audio which helps the overall process. Most clients see an improvement in their sleep in a relatively short time. Many clients see a positive change in their sleep, even if it wasn’t the main reason they came for hypnotherapy.
Nightmares and Night Terrors
Hypnotherapy also helps with nightmares and night terrors as these may be caused by stress, anxiety and excessive tiredness.
