HYPNOTHERAPY FOR INSOMNIA

Sleep and Hypnotherapy: Reclaiming Rest Naturally

The word hypnosis comes from the Greek word “hypnos”, meaning sleep—and that’s no coincidence.
An inability to sleep naturally and peacefully is one of the most common issues people face today.

Understanding Sleep Problems

You may struggle with:

• Falling asleep

• Waking during the night

• Waking too early and being unable to return to sleep

Often, it’s your thoughts racing in circles that keep you awake—and the harder you try to sleep, the more alert you become. This frustrating loop can quickly turn your bed into a place of stress rather than rest.

Hypnosis is a powerful and gentle way to interrupt this mental loop and allow sleep to return naturally.

Hypnotherapy can also be effective for:

• Sleepwalking

• Snoring

• Nightmares

• Bedwetting

The Link Between Sleep and Mental Health

Insomnia and low energy affect up to 90% of people with depression. But sleep can also be impacted by many other factors, including:

• Sleep apnoea

• Restless leg syndrome

• Chronic medical conditions

• Pregnancy or menopause

• Medication or substance use

• Lifestyle habits or environmental disturbances

Common Symptoms of Insomnia

• Daytime sleepiness or fatigue

• Frustration or anxiety about sleep

• Poor concentration, focus, or memory

• Low mood, mood swings, or irritability

• Lack of motivation or energy

• Headaches or gastrointestinal issues

• Decline in performance at work or school

• Calm racing thoughts and quiet nighttime rumination

Your personalised hypnotherapy session can be recorded for night-time use, guiding your mind and body into deep rest as you lie in bed.
