Insomnia - The 21st Century Challenge Print E-mail

This material is presented for the information of the general public to discuss the applications of hypnosis in achieving personal goals.

It’s three o’clock in the morning and you still haven’t fallen asleep.  Even worse, you have awakened and are unable to fall back to sleep.  Looks like you’re facing yet another frustrating, sleepless night.Sound familiar?  From time to time, we all have a bit of difficulty sleeping, but when it is chronic, that is, when it happens every night, it has a debilitating effect on our physical body.  IT is INSOMNIA.

InsomniaSometimes, the cause to disruptive sleep may be simply due to drinking stimulating drinks with caffeine.  Also, physical exercise after sundown, or stimulating mental conversation, or the evening TV news, or eating before retiring can be causal to this dysfunction.  And if you think taking a nap during the day will guarantee a nighttime release; it usually doesn’t.  And contrary to the idea that alcohol is a “nightcap”, the simple fact is alcohol is the number one culprit to interrupted sleep patterns.

Sleep patterns are a learned habit. At the Center For Hypnosis, clients learn hypnotic relaxation that creates new sleep habits allowing physical and mental conditions conducive to achieving appropriate rest patterns.  Hypnosis seems to be the easiest way I know of to induce natural sleep without the assistance of a prescribed drug sleep-aid.

… alcohol is the number one culprit to interrupted sleep patterns.
  While in this threshold state called Hypnosis, a hypnotist facilitates replacing the client’s negative thinking and expectancy with positive mental conditioning creating relaxation and sleep.  Then, while in this state, you are able to “reprogram” yourself to relate the night-time to sleep-time.  I refer to this as synchronizing the body/mind so they work with each other, rather than against each other.

You dream all your dreams with scenes and pictures, right?  Through the use of hypnotic visualization, any mental picture can be created for your literal subconscious mind, where the problems of the day can be safely stored and locked away in a locked vault for the night, safe and secure in a way that proves undisturbed during sleeping hours.  The conscious mind remains disconnected allowing sleep to occur.

Good sleep suggestion techniques can last throughout a lifetime.
I had a client about 5 years ago come visit me for a chronic case of insomnia that had been continuing for 32 years.  That’s right!  That isn’t a typo, this subject hadn’t slept through the night for over 32 years.  Now that is chronic insomnia! 

Would you believe in 6 short visits over a twelve-week period, that this client began sleeping for five or six hours through the night!  Five years later I was informed that the subject is sleeping like a baby six or seven hours every night, night after night

Hypnosis is a tool anyone can quickly learn to use.  The real value to hypnosis is its longevity.  Good sleep suggestion techniques can last throughout a lifetime of slumber-filled positive dreams. Call 292-2237 to learn how you can improve your sleep habits tonight!
