Insomnia - get back to good sleep with evidence-based hypnotherapy
Insomnia is the subjective experience of poor or unrefreshing sleep. It can be very depressing when it continues for a long time. Then the worry of being unable to sleep makes sleeping even more difficult.
Sometimes insomnia is a symptom of another problem - maybe you are using drugs of some kind, or you might have an underlying medical problem. You should check with your doctor before considering hypnotherapy.

- Go to bed when you are tired and not before. If you can’t sleep, get up and distract yourself until you are tired.
- Get up at the same time every morning, and don’t lie in bed past the alarm. You are trying to rebuild your natural sleep rhythms.
- Avoid stimulants.Don’t take caffeine drinks in the evening.Have your last cigarette at least an hour before bedtime.
- Exercise. Take your last vigorous exercise 2-3 hours before bedtime, though walking the dog is restful.
- Alcohol makes you drowsy, but can disturb your sleep. Leave about 3 hours between your last drink and bedtime.
- Don’t go to bed on a full stomach. Though a hot milky drink might help you sleep.
