Using Self Hypnosis to Sleep Better – A Simple Script

Self Hypnosis is based on the fact that your mind cannot tell the difference between something for real and something imagi ned with intensity. So if you can visualize something ( ’see it’ ) in your minds eye then there is no difference to your mind.

Try this simple technique the next time you struggle to get off to sleep.

Lay on your back, in bed or somewhere you can safely drop off to sleep.

Take a deep breath in, hold it for a second then slowly let it go.
Do the same thing again – counting down from 10 to 1 – Focusing your attention on your breath.
After each breath feel your body getting more and more relaxed.
Notice how your muscles get softer

Just by doing this you should already be in a very peaceful state.

Now, without forcing it, just imagine yourself waking up after a GREAT nights sleep.
You feel refreshed and ready for the day.
Imagine that you slept through the night.

This is just like day-dreaming only now it’s you directing the action!

At first it may seem a bit weird, but rest ashured it will get easier with practicw.

When you start out with this exercise just aim for about 1 minute then stretch it out to 5 or 10 minutes.
Last thing at night is best for this – but it will also help if you do it first thing in the morning too.

Aim to do this for 2 -3 days before you notice any difference.
What you are doing is re-programming your mind, so it may take some time!

But stick with it and you should notice a change. Hopefuly you will start to expect to sleep well, then it will all start to flow naturally.

Give it a try – it’s free after all and no-one needs to know that you are doing it!
It certainly works for me.
