Insomnia & Sleep

Sleep is something you normally look forward to. A time to rest and recharge your batteries, to take you into the next day alert and full of energy. However, sometimes the process of sleeping may be arduous and less than restful. If you fall into this category, help is at hand.

Most people experience periods when they find it difficult to sleep. Perhaps you’re stressed, or travelling from a different time zone, or just don’t know why you can’t sleep. These times are transitory and are little more than an inconvenience. However, your periods of sleeplessness may become more than transitory and develop into a recurring pattern when you are trying to get to sleep.

Common types of insomnia

• Initial sleep difficulties: You have difficulty falling asleep when you first go to bed.

• Intermediate sleep difficulties: You fall asleep when you first go to bed but awaken in the middle of the night. Once you awaken you find it difficult to return to sleep.

• Early morning awakening: You sleep throughout the night, but awaken much earlier than you normally would, feeling unrefreshed and sleepy. Typically, you’re not able to return to sleep.

How hypnotherapy helps with insomnia

There could be many reasons why you are experiencing insomnia, but eventually the insomnia becomes a habit – a faulty sleeping strategy, as it were. Hypnotherapy helps you:

• Develop a healthy sleeping strategy

• Deal with any underlying issues contributing to your insomnia
