Is a good night’s sleep a distant memory?
Do you feel tired all the time? Whether
you can’t get to sleep or awaken in the early
hours, there are solutions that may help to
break the cycle of disrupted and poor quality
sleep.

Stress, anxiety, being overweight,
smoking, alcohol, hormonal changes (e.g.
menopause), sleep apnoea, shift work,
restless leg syndrome and some health
conditions have the potential to disrupt
sleep.

Is it insomnia or sleep deprivation?
Insomnia is a condition in which one is
unable to either fall asleep or is constantly
waking up with the inability to go back to
sleep.

Sleep deprivation occurs either as a
lifestyle choice or due to other external/
environmental conditions which prevent one
getting enough sleep (e.g.: long working
hours, shift patterns, noisy environment,
busy social life, becoming parents, ill health,
anxiety & stress).

Consuming caffeine can disturb sleep,
however, smoking and alcohol being
stimulants also have a detrimental effect on
sleep quality.

Being overweight or long-term smoking
can cause sleep apnoea which affects the
throat and can inhibit breathing.

Anxiety states will impact on your ability to
sleep well as the inability to relax physically
and mentally will result in an increase in
tension. This can become a vicious circle as
sleep deprivation tends to increase anxiety
levels.

Clinical Hypnotherapy has the resources
to safely assist you in improving the quality
of your sleep by making simple lifestyle
changes. Whether it is stress, anxiety or
other factors that are preventing you from
sleeping (weight/menopausal symptoms/
smoking/alcohol/fears or phobias etc.)
hypnotherapy can help to make a real
difference in your sleep quality and ongoing
wellbeing, plus, learning the art of selfhypnosis
will give you the ability to relax
deeply whenever you need!

Before you start treatment it is essential
that you have consulted with your
medical practitioner regarding your
sleep disturbance in order to rule out any
underlying medical conditions.
