Is Hypnotherapy Helpful For Overcoming Sleep Disorders?
We all struggle with sleep issues from time to time. Our sleep can be affected by life experiences such as stressful situations or traumatic episodes. While it is perfectly natural to struggle with a sleeping issue for a couple of days, it isn’t normal to deal with these types of issues for more than a week or for months on end.
Sleep disorders can be difficult to live with and dealing with these issues is often avoidable because hypnotherapy is a great treatment that can be used to treat all sorts of sleep issues.
Different Types Of Sleep Disorders
There are six main types of sleep disorders that we may struggle with and some are a bit more severe or difficult to deal with and overcome than others. Here is a look at the main types that most people struggle with.
01. Insomnia
Insomnia is a lack of sleep. With this condition, you may either struggle to fall asleep or have a tough time staying asleep and you might start to feel drowsy or tired all day. This type of condition can spike during high-stress periods but can also manifest as a chronic condition and is diagnosed as a lack of adequate sleep for three months or longer.
02. Snoring And Sleep Apnea
Snoring is a common and probably won’t affect your sleep as much as the sleep of your partner. Sleep apnea, on the other hand, can result in heart disease or even stroke if it is left untreated. With this condition, your breathing becomes interrupted or you frequently choke while sleeping for a minimum of five times per hour. This affects your oxygen levels and eventually your overall health.
03. Circadian Rhythm Disorders
A lot of people are labeled as night owls or early risers when they have a circadian rhythm disorder. With this type of disorder, there is an imbalance in your sleep process and it triggers insomnia during times when people are generally required to sleep. You might sleep fine during day time but can be fully alert during the night. This can become troublesome if it starts to impact your ability to work or study.
04. Movement Disorders
Movement disorders like restless leg syndrome can be caused by other medical conditions and can make it very difficult to get enough sleep at night.
05. Parasomnias
This form of disorder causes sleep episodes like sleepwalking, sleep talking, hallucinations, and night terrors and can have a huge impact on your mental health. These conditions can also leave you feeling sleep deprived and stressed.
06. Hypersomnia
People with hypersomnia tend to sleep more than 10 hours at night and still feel tired. This type of disorder can affect your productivity levels and can also make you feel depressed.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help With These Conditions
Hypnotherapy is potentially effective for treating several types of sleep disorders. This is because hypnotherapy deepens the ability to relax, and it improves your thought patterns and emotions. The sessions also help treat the symptoms of anxiety and depression which may be the root cause of your sleep disorder. Hypnotherapy will also assist the overthinkers who find it hard to switch off their thoughts at bedtime, and those with poor sleep routines.
Sleep issues involving physical causes may require an alternate approach.
Those who enjoy regular hypnosis therapy tend to sleep better, they enjoy a higher quality sleep and the active sessions are great for increasing slow-wave sleep which is very important for mental recovery.
