Sleep is an integral part of our system. The body and mind gets relaxed when we go to sleep. The body is able to rest and regenerate during the sleep and thus the repair of the wear and tear of the body tissues takes place during sleep. One wakes up fresh and completely relaxed when one gets a good sleep. Since it is a normal routine, we do not pay much attention to the sleep process unless it is disturbed. Only when there is lack of sleep does a person realize how tired and restless it makes him feel. Until that time it is taken for granted. Usually even if we are disturbed from our sleep, we tend to fall asleep after sometime and that is normal, but when people are having problem falling asleep very often or every day then it is called as a sleep disorder. There are various types of sleep disorders like restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, insomnia, confusional arousal, sleep walking, bed wetting, nightmares, night terrors, etc.

 

If you are having a sleep disorder, it is better not to neglect it. Visit your general practitioner at the earliest to get a proper diagnosis and maybe any underlying medical conditions can be identified. After the diagnosis is confirmed the doctor might advise the kind of treatment you will need. Treatment varies from medicines to hypnosis. Many doctors suggest insomnia hypnosis disorders.

 

 How can hypnosis help in sleep disorders? Many people as soon as they hear the word hypnosis start imagining going out of control or acting like a chicken or barking like a dog or totally under the control of the hypnotherapist, but it is nothing like that. Hypnosis is a state of mind where the mind is in a completely relaxed state. Each sleep disorder varies as the underlying causes vary. The intensity varies too. Hypnotherapy is used to change the behavioral patterns and hence it has better success rate at treating sleep disorders. Most of the sleep disorders stem from issues like anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and other psychological issues and hypnotherapy helps the mind relax and helps the mind deal with the stressors in a better way which in turn treats the sleep disorder. Sleep disorder is caused by the way the mind reacts to the situation and hence hypnotherapy has much of a success rate as it accesses the unconscious mind to overcome the disorder by turning the negative thought patterns into positive thought patterns.

 The number of sessions might vary from individual to individual as well as the intensity of the underlying causes. Slowly and steadily when more positive thoughts start coming into mind and all the negativity is warded off. Hypnosis for sleep has given very good results in patients with sleep disorders.
