The Importance of Sleep

Sleep is an important resource that keeps you healthy, mentally sharp, and able to cope with stress more effectively, among other things. Unfortunately, stressed and busy people tend to get less sleep than they need.
Characteristics and Effects of InsomniaInsomnia is a sleep disorder that is defined by a difficulty either falling asleep or remaining asleep, waking too early, or a poor or reduced quality of sleep. Insomnia, or sleep deprivation, is a very common complaint.
Physical and Behavioral Causes of Insomnia |

Approximately 30% of adults have symptoms of insomnia. Insomnia causes many physical, emotional, and mental problems. It is associated with serious health issues such as depression, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Insomnia can also lead to memory loss, mental impairment, physical impairment and weight gain.
Insomnia can be a result of many factors. It can be caused by physical problems like obstructive sleep apnea, when the upper airway is obstructed, causing a temporary cessation of breathing during sleep. Other physical problems that can cause insomnia include nocturia, a frequent need to urinate at night, or physical pain such as backache or arthritis. Good sleep quality can also be impaired by certain behaviors. These include consumption of caffeine or other stimulant drugs near bedtime.

Emotional Causes Of Insomnia
Although insomnia can be caused by the physical or behavioral reasons mentioned above, experts agree that the leading source of sleep disorders is stress. This can include anxiety, worry, grief, guilt, anger, sadness or fear. The inability to sleep, when caused by stress, is often experienced as inner thoughts and feelings playing out in the mind over and over again. Noise from a racing mind, and not being able to just switch the thoughts off are common complaints. This is where hypnosis can be the most beneficial.
How Can Hypnosis Help?
Once medical problems such as sleep apnea or chronic depression are ruled out by a physician, hypnosis can be used to relieve your insomnia in a number of ways. The subconscious mind often produces insomnia by holding negative emotions, such as guilt, worry, fear, anger, sadness, grief, or stress. Through hypnosis, the subconscious mind can be re-programmed, alleviating or even completely eliminating those negative emotions which cause your insomnia.
