Insomnia Treatment in Glasgow Area

There are two types of insomnia:

• Not being able to get to sleep in the first place
• Not being able to get back to sleep if one wakes up

How do we fall asleep?

Nobody knows how to go to sleep. Sleep is an unconscious process. It is a passive process. If you try to it doesn’t happen. People who sleep well, lie down, let their mind drift, their body relax, and they drift into a trance and then before they know it they drift off to sleep.

That state of deep relaxation just before sleep is hypnosis.

How do we treat insomnia?

We teach many ways for people to get into that deep hypnotic state and from there the sleep will happen naturally.

For the second type of insomnia we use the above approach with some additions.

We all wake through the night. We always have done and always will. We often don’t remember, but we do. What the client who can’t get back to sleep is often doing is waking up and starting the day mentally too early.

This can be caused by stress or worry (regarding past, present or future) and we need to deal with this. Sometimes the person may have no ongoing reason for stress but has got into a habit of reacting to waking up, worrying about another sleepless night and being tired at work and the resulting anxiety is what prevents returning to sleep.

Whatever the processes, we can change those unhelpful patterns of thinking into useful ones and restore the ability to enjoy a good night’s sleep.
