Sleep deep, naturally and restfully through the nightInsomnia is the perception or complaint of inadequate or poor-quality sleep because of one or more of the following:
Some estimates are that about 12% of the population experiences some form of insomnia, but my experience is that it is much higher. Even a couple nights of sleeplessness can be a sign of unhealthy stress accumulation or anxiety, which should be dealt with immediately and naturally. If not, this temporary condition of sleeplessness can be amplified by taking sleeping medications, which are highly habit forming, and can actually create insomnia as a side effect. Actually, it is better viewed as an effect of sleeping pill use, not a side effect. Fortunately there is something you can do about it. Insomnia can be the result of worry, fears, anxiety, and other poor or disruptive MindBody activity. It can be caused by allergies, alcohol, nicotine, other substances, improper diet and poor sleeping "hygiene." In order to fall asleep, your brain and body must relax and go from a BETA brain wave into ALPHA brain wave preponderance. Alpha state is where everything is dreamy, where visualizations are clear and which borders the phase that signals to your MindBody that you're ready to let go into deep sleep, known as DELTA and THETA phases.
When the conscious mind is busy with worry, anxiety, fears, anger, emotional conflicts, etc., it has a hard time letting go. This clinging to thought and worry or stress is also felt in the body; it's not just in the mind. Some people hear music in their head, repeat endless statements with their inner voice or just worry so much about not being able to sleep that they indeed cannot sleep. If you have insomnia, you know the challenge. You start worrying early in the day about whether or not you are actually going to be able to sleep that night. Once you miss a night of sleep, you worry even more about not sleeping the next night, and this PERPETUATES the problem. Worrying about sleeplessness is one of the causes of your insomnia continuing. Before you had trouble sleeping, you became tired and your body automatically began the natural process of relaxing to go to sleep for deep rest and recuperation. If you have insomnia, it can be cured, but you may need help if you've been sleepless for many nights or have become addicted to sleeping medication. In order to go to sleep deeply and naturally, you simply relax, which may be difficult to do and seem not so simple. With hypnosis, you can retrain your brain to easily move into an alpha state and use special post-hypnotic triggers to eliminate worry and anxiety and stay asleep once you fall asleep. Other aspects of my Insomnia Cure program ensure you will get deep restful sleep for the rest of your life. Hypnosis is very effective in curing chronic insomnia. It's easy and it works. It is far better for you than sleeping pills. The interesting thing about sleeping pills is the strong influence of the placebo effect. This means that when you think you are taking a sleeping pill, but it is really a sugar pill (placebo), you believe you will fall asleep and so you do. Sometimes just vividly imagining taking a sleeping pill can help. Even though the conscious mind knows that it's not real, the powerful subconscious mind cannot distinguish between something real and imagined. This is one of the reasons why hypnosis works so well. Hypnosis works at the level of the subconscious mind. It creates the accepted condition that something is possible, acts on it as if it is real, and creates a new outcome. In this case, sleep.
