Hypnotherapy for insomnia may help patients relax and fall into an undisturbed slumber. In a 2014 study published in the journal Sleep, women who listened to a sleep-promoting audio tape containing hypnosis cut their awake time by two-thirds, and spent 80 percent more time in deep sleep compared to women who didn’t do hypnotherapy. Hypnosis for insomnia aims to produce positive changes that will help undo the patterns of sleep disturbances that have been embedded in the subconscious. Hypnotherapy Can Help with Insomnia!
