Sleep Disorders

   Would you like to be able to fall asleep easily?

   Would you like to be able to stay asleep throughout the night?

   Would you like to know how to cope if you wake in the middle of the night?

   Would you like to learn to stop your thoughts racing at night?

   Would you like to wake up feeling energized and refreshed?

Sleep disorders can be broken down into three main areas:

1.  Getting to sleep

2.  Staying asleep

3.  Broken sleep

You may experience one or a combination of the above difficulties.  No matter how long you have experienced these problems, know that you CAN LEARN to have consistent, deep and refreshing sleep.  Simple changes in your thinking and behaviour can make a significant positive impact on your quality of sleep.

I have spoken about the two parts of the mind, the conscious and the subconscious.  Sometimes by accident, bad habits can be installed and learnt by the subconscious, and generally this is the cause of poor sleep patterns.  There may have been a stressful time in your life, or a period of upset, or loss, resulting in disturbed sleep patterns.  Generally when the situation improves, sleep patterns will also improve again.  But what can sometimes happen is that the subconscious has now learnt these bad habits, and poor sleep continues.

The good news  is that no matter how many problems you have had with your sleep, good habits CAN be relearned.  The use of hypnotherapy and NLP is an excellent way to retrain the unconscious mind, and to learn again the good habits that promote sleep.

My individual programme may include a combination of the following:

1.  Optimize your sleep environment

2.  Identify any childhood beliefs or behaviours that may still be affecting you

3.  Teach you how to easily fall asleep

4.  Teach you what to do if you wake in the middle of the night.

5.  Allow you to quiet an overactive mind

6.  Improve the quality and duration of your sleep

7.  Encourage relaxation techniques which will also assist in a a generally calmer self throughout the day.

You will also find that listening to a personalised relaxing CD for 3-4 weeks will also assist in improving your sleep habits, and the quality of your sleep.

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU VISIT YOUR DOCTOR TO CHECK WHETHER MEDICAL ISSUES ARE THE CAUSE OF DISTURBED SLEEP
