How unfair is it that when you need it most you cant seem to get it. I’m talking about SLEEP!
Those blissful hours of unbroken and satisfying sleep are somehow eluding you. Whether your insomnia or disturbed sleep is related to anxiety, crazy dreams or frequent visits to the loo getting enough sleep is vital to keep you healthy.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that makes it hard to drift off to sleep or to stay asleep throughout the night. Most people experience it by waking up early and not being able to get back to sleep leaving them feeling like they didn’t get enough sleep and feeling like the sleep they did get wasn’t refreshing. Insomnia can have an impact on your mood, your energy levels, your work performance but most importantly your health.
But, for me, the most important thing to think about when trying to tackle your insomnia is to think about your emotional wellbeing. Are you feeling anxious or do you have any persistent worries about things that are going on in your life at moment?
The impact that anxiety can have on us can be substantial but it also very treatable – it may not be simple but there are treatments that can help you. Because of the multifaceted relationship between sleep and anxiety getting better rest can help combat those feelings and building a healthy sleep routine can make it a much better experience and can help to enhance your sleep.
Trying relaxation techniques can help identify ways to ease or get rid of your anxieties and make it easier for you to fall asleep quickly and peacefully. Deep breathing, mindfulness, and meditation are just a few approaches to relaxation that can help put your mind at ease before you go to bed or if you wake up in the night.
Another method that I know can be extremely helpful in tackling insomnia is hypnotherapy. Hypnos is the Greek god of sleep and so by its very name hypnotherapy is very closely linked to sleep. Hypnotherapy for insomnia can involve using various techniques, a hypnotherapist, like me, will tap into your subconscious mind to uncover what might be triggering the problem. An important part of hypnotherapy for insomnia is teaching you how to relax. I would use different relaxation techniques, such as progressive muscle relaxation to help reduce tension and to help you get the sleep you want and need.
I can also teach you some self-hypnosis techniques. This can help you to develop a bedtime routine, as well as learn how to deal with the triggers we identified that are causing the problem. Using hypnosis for insomnia at home will help you take the tools you’ve learnt in our 1:1 sessions your everyday life.
The most important thing to remember is to try not to worry about your sleep and that help is there, in different ways, for you to access if you want to.
