If you struggle with getting to sleep, then learning hypnosis can really, really help, right? I would say almost definitely so, because when you go to sleep, you are going from wakefulness to hypnosis and then to sleep, right? Anyway, as in anyone who's falling asleep will be going into hypnosis before they fall asleep, right? And when we wake up, you go from sleep to hypnosis to awake, right? So the process of going to sleep and the process of waking up, those processes involve. The nose is necessarily right. And so who knows? This is already something you've done loads and loads of times is also something you've done whenever you've become involved in something, absorbed in something in a deep way where you're really focused and you feel fairly relaxed at the same time, you are experiencing hypnosis there, right? It's already something you know to do, but learning how to really deliberately access hypnosis is one of the best things you can do for sleep right now. You know, occasionally there might be exceptions to this, like, you know, for example, someone came to me. Therapy for sleep, who had really quite serious insomnia. But then when I heard about her life, she was not leaving her house at all during the day. And she was either caring for her young children or she was working the whole day, right, with not really any breaks and not going outside and not really getting any physical activity right most days. And, you know, actually changing those things, changing those things was enough to sort out her sleep. She wasn't someone who'd been through any kind of significant. Um, anxiety before having a life where she had, you know, for various reasons said, ended up, you know, not really leaving the house or getting exercise during the day, right And actually changing those physical things was sufficient to sort out her sleep, right? So she actually didn't really need to learn hypnosis. Learning hypnosis might have helped her, but also it might be that, even if she had learned hypnosis, the fact that she was physically so. So restrained and so directing her energy, um. Others, you know, might have in and of itself made sleep very tricky, even if she'd learn hypnosis right. So I'm not saying there's there's not exceptions to this. You know, also, if you are suffering from very, very severe trauma, for example, that hasn't really been processed in therapy, you know, there may well be a need to do that alongside learning hypnosis in order for your sleep to improve. That would be different for different people. You know, there are there are people who have been through really significant trauma, whether sleep isn't that impacted. So we're all different and we respond to things differently. But for the vast majority of people, learning hypnosis is going to really massively improve your ability to get to sleep. Your ability to stay asleep for the whole night, if that's possible for you. I realize some, of course there's external factors, right? You have a young child or you might have a relative they're caring for. You might be like a shift worker and have to be getting up anyway, right? Some of the other outside things that impact sleep too. But in terms of, you know, if for no outside reason you'd be able to sleep the whole night through hypnosis will help with that too. It helps the quality of your sleep as well as helping you get to sleep in the 1st place, right? And because essentially it shifts your brain and your body into working in this very different. Mode where you have more access, you are kind of accessing your parasympathetic nervous system more frequently or parasympathetic nervous system is more running things. And you, you are able to deliberately put yourself into this calm focus state that is ideal for falling asleep, right? Ideal for entering into a night of very deep sleep where where you are cycling through the different stages of sleep, one of which you see very much resembles hypnosis. So when you're dreaming, R.E.M. sleep is very close to hypnosis. Your brain is doing something very similar when you're dreaming to when you're in a hypnotic state. So almost if you are listening to hypnosis track as you go to sleep. You are kind of reteaching your brain how to enter into a dream state, right? So this is something that can get interrupted by trauma, by stress, by having a job where you have to work nights or you have to get up in the middle of the night a lot by, you know, just a lot of pressure, a lot of responsibility. Like loads and loads of things that as we grow can interfere with sleep and we can lose our natural ability or have more difficult accessing our natural ability to fall asleep, which again, we're using hypnosis to do that to dream, which again is is very similar. To the hypnotic state. So if you deliberately practice hypnosis, it can it can you can regain the access to that natural ability to sleep fully and deeply and in a way where you're you're dreaming in the way that you were designed to do and able to release and process during your your dreaming time in a way that is highly beneficial. And that will mean that you wake up feeling more refreshed, feeling like you have a different perspective on things, feeling more like you've slept and more like you deeply rested.
