In past blogs, I spent a lot of time talking about sleep. But what about dreams? I’m curious about them too. If you’re one of my patients or are considering seeing me for hypnosis, don’t take any of your dreams lightly! Write down as much as you can remember. It can be thrilling.

A woman with insomniaIt’s 3am, and though you got bed five hours ago you have to be up in four, and you’ve spent the entire evening tossing and turning.

Tangled in your sheets, you try everything; counting sheep, reading, late night TV, even a little Sudoku, and though you have managed to memorize every catch phrase and theme song of all the late night infomercials, you still have yet to achieve your actual goal- SLEEP.  You watch the sunrise and count the minutes ’till your departure for work, eventually leaving with raccoon circles and bags under your eyes, chugging coffee, after energy drink, after coffee. You struggle to function and focus throughout the day, only to end up back in bed- again wide awake- only to repeat this cycle again. If this sounds like you, you are probably suffering from insomnia. Well suffer no more, because I have the answer for you- Hypnosis!
