Hypnosis and Sleep May Be Closely Related
Several researchers are beginning to espouse the connection
between hypnosis and sleep, while others are attempting to use hypnosis to help
people sleep. Similar to chemical sleeping aids, hypnosis is said to have the
same relaxing effects on the mind and body, allowing people to drift off to
sleep quickly and easily.
It is no secret that hypnosis and sleep are related when
people are in the trance-like state of hypnosis. After all, most hypnotists
tell their subjects they are going to sleep and that their eyelids are getting
heavy. However, it is not unusual for a person to experience self-hypnosis and
sleep at least a few times during their seemingly waking hours.
For example, driving to or from a familiar destination you
may find yourself at the end of your journey with absolutely no recollection of
how you reached it. Your mind may have wandered into its own subconscious and
while your conscious thoughts may have been on the task at hand, your mind was
experiencing hypnosis and sleep in its subconscious.
There are many self-hypnosis options available and some CDs
can be played as you attempt to fall asleep. With the hypnosis and sleep CD
playing in the background, many are claiming a valid benefit and deeper undisturbed
sleep than with medically prescribed sleep aids.
Relax Yourself Into Sleep Mode
Being able to close off conscious thoughts and bring total
relaxation to your mind is only part of the process of using hypnosis and sleep
aids, as your body also has to be relaxed enough. Usually a slight drop in core
body temperature will be realized before going to sleep, with the core
temperature slightly lower than that of the extremities. Once a person’s mind
is totally relaxed, the body typically follows, with deep sleep not far behind.
Listening to a voice telling you about how sleep you are
getting and how great it will be to wake up rested, is not the aim of hypnosis
and sleep sounds usually available. Rather restful and relaxing sounds are
included in a manner and order in which your mind slowly succumbs to the
unspoken suggestion that you are going to go to sleep.
Typically, the hypnosis and sleep recording will last just
until the person is on the verge of sleep and then end, allowing them to fall
into a restful sleep, waking up rested and having much more energy.
