Insomnia
Poor sleep is a very common problem and can affect the way people feel, the way they function and their health.
Insomnia can take a number of forms.

In some cases of insomnia learning to relax more deeply makes all the difference.  In others, underlying worries and stresses need to be resolved and hypnotherapy encapsulating hypnosis can help with both to improve sleep.  Sleeping well helps us to be at our best – feeling better physically, mentally and emotionally – having more energy, a clearer mind, feeling better inside, achieving goals ore easily and enjoy life more.

Sleep walking and talking
Sleep walking and talking are common in childhood and sometimes continue into later life.  They can be very disturbing for family members and partners.  Hypnotherapy is an obvious choice because all activity during sleep is fully controlled by the subconscious mind.  A young man came to see me a while ago who had actually injured himself when sleep walking.  It appears that as a child there was concern that the house was being burgled and the subconscious mind was still trying – during sleep – to run away.  He told me the problem had gone after a couple of sessions.

Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Teeth grinding and holding the jaw tight can happen during the day as well as in sleep.  It can result in damage to teeth and the jaw joint, painful jaw muscles and headaches.  It is commonly assumed that it is caused by stress so by learning to relax, as well as dealing with the underlying causes of stress, hypnotherapy clients often report good results.  I have worked with a number of clients who have been using both hypnotherapy and physiotherapy to help alleviate the problem.

Nightmares and Night Terrors
Children sometimes wake in a very frightened state and are then too scared to go back to sleep.  On some occasions they are still asleep but in a frightened state.  Reassurance in a relaxed state - which can be played on CD before sleep – has helped to restore peaceful sleep.

Bed Wetting
Children and sometimes older people suffer from the difficult problem of bedwetting during sleep.  The subconscious mind needs to get the message to keep the bladder muscles closed throughout the night and if needs be, wake the person up to go to the bathroom during the night.

Snoring
The main concern here is for partners rather than the snorer.  The subconscious mind manages all manner of things during sleep.  If we are too hot or cold it can wake us; it can also wake us up five minutes before the alarm goes off!  We move and turn during the night and we can be woken in response to particular noises such as children crying or the dog barking.  Snorers have found hypnotherapy useful by giving the subconscious mind a very clear message to monitor the sounds being made and then to move or turn to keep the airways clear and quiet.
