Insomnia
Hypnotherapy for insomnia in Bristol
Sometimes, we all have trouble sleeping, but for those with insomnia, it happens too often. Insomnia is a common issue that regularly affects about one in three people in the UK.
Insomnia can manifest in various ways, such as difficulty falling asleep due to racing thoughts, waking up multiple times at night, or lying awake for extended periods, causing frustration and anxiety. It can also result in feeling unrefreshed upon waking up.
While insomnia can come and go, for some, it can last for months or even years, leading to irritability, poor concentration, low mood, anxiety, negative thinking, or depression. It can also impact relationships and work.
Hypnotherapy can effectively improve sleep quality, helping individuals feel rested and function better throughout the day. Our goal is to help you get your life back and do everything you want without insomnia holding you back.
Causes of insomnia
Insomnia can be caused by various factors, including an uncomfortable sleeping environment, like a bed that's not cosy or a room that's too hot or cold. Lifestyle factors such as working in shifts or consuming caffeine, stress, and anxiety can also contribute. Additionally, mental and physical health conditions like depression, chronic pain, and sleep disorders can lead to insomnia. Some medications can also cause sleeping problems.
As mentioned above, some medical conditions and medications cause sleeping problems, so I will always ask whether or not you have seen your GP about the issue.
