Problems Sleeping?

Not being able to sleep is something that affects us all occasionally - especially in this hot weather. But if it becomes a constant problem then it really begins to affect all areas of our lives.

Whether we call it insomnia or just say we have a problem sleeping doesn't matter - laying awake watching the alarm clock move ever closer to the time we need to get up for work is no fun.

For many of us we have problems sleeping when we are worried or anxious about other events. And the more we worry and get stressed about them the less likely it is that we will be able to relax enough to get off to sleep.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a great way of dealing with the problems and stresses that are keeping you awake. I can also teach you techniques you can use outside the sessions to help you view the worries in a different and more positive way - and other techniques to help you relax when it's time for bed. A relaxing hypnotherapy CD played at bedtime can also help.

Here are some other practical tips to help you get to sleep:

Don't watch TV in bed - especially anything frightening or action based - as you want to be calming your thoughts and mind down.
Have a warm (but not hot) bath before bed.
Avoid coffee, tea and alcohol as they all stimulate your mind - try a glass of warm milk instead.
Keep the room cool - but have a warm duvet or blanket on the bed if required to keep you warm and relaxed.
Take regular exercise but nothing too strenuous later in the evening.
Don't eat a large meal before bed.
Keep a pen and notepad by your bed. If you do wake up worrying about something, tell yourself there is nothing you can do about it right now - and make a note of it in the notepad so you can deal with it tomorrow.
