How can I get to
sleep, I suffer from insomnia, insomnio, and I suppose
I´m an insomniac or light
sleeper?.....Hypnosis can help get a deep restful sleep
for insomniacs in many ways. By reducing stress, and
worries, by implanting a message deep into the
subconcious mind, by relaxing the body, relaxing the
mind, to give urges for certain foodstuffs, vitamins, by
taking away the desire for stimulants such as coffee
et.
Is my
insomnia caused by my constant
worrying?.....probably. Hypnosis can help your insomnia
by organizing your problems, finding solutions, and
planting messages such as, that sleep must be the first
priority towards sorting out worrysome
problems.
Is hypnosis, or a
hypnotic trance the same as a deep sleep or the same as
normal people sleep at night?........No not really. In a
hypnotic trance it is possible to act and do things with
lots of energy and physically demanding. But also under a
deep trance it is possible to relax and remain tranquil.
Usually it is much easier to remain stressfree, and
therefore relax. Hypnosis is also relaxing and
helps the recuperation process, but the most important
aspect is to plant the messages that sleep is important
and easy to achieve etc.

day?......Depends on each individual, but insomnia can
sometimes be cured with one session, while others need to
play the mp3 each night before bedtime.

eye movement sleep is produced while dreaming, and is
very important. Not only does insomnia cause lac of
normal sleep, but also a lac of rem sleep. Experiments
have been done to prevent a person from having rem sleep,
but getting plenty of normal sleep, and the subjects
became very ill. Alcoholics and people taking
anti-depressants often have trouble getting REM
sleep.
Does counting
sheep work?......well visualization is a way to put
one´s mind away from stressful worries, and
repeatative images, thoughts and counting is mild form of
self hypnosis or a gateway into a mild trance or day
dream like state, and therefore help with
insomnia.
