How to manage holiday stress that disrupts your sleep

The holiday season is described as a joyful time of year. While it is an opportunity to be with family and to share gifts, it can also cause stress that impacts your sleep. Financial stress, late night holiday parties, traveling across time zones, unhealthy holiday food, and family drama can all cause stress that disrupts your sleep schedule. Thankfully, hypnosis can help manage holiday stress that disrupts your sleep. 

What disrupts sleep patterns

Whether it is working a night shift, family stress, work stress, academic stress, or financial stress, studies have shown the connection between insomnia and stress. When we are stressed, we tend to think about it at night. The negative thoughts and concerns keep us from falling asleep and/or sleeping restfully. Eating right before going to sleep can cause heartburn and acid buildup which can also prevent a restful night sleep. Some antidepressants and blood pressure or asthma medications can cause sleep issues as well. Alcohol, Nicotine and Caffeine can impact our ability to sleep well. Finally, anxiety, depression, and certain medical conditions like heart disease, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and overactive thyroid can also disrupt sleep patterns. 

The Scientific Data Supporting Hypnosis

Stress and sleep problems are connected as shown in this study of college students here in the United States. Whether it is working a night shift, family stress, work stress, academic stress, or financial stress studies have shown the connection between insomnia and stress. This scientific study shows that hypnosis can have a surprisingly positive impact on sleep quality. Additional scientific data shows that clinical hypnotherapy is a highly efficacious method of treating rumination and insomnia.

Hypnotic trance

Hypnotic trance enables a skilled hypnotherapist to tap into a patient’s inner resources. Clients are awake but relaxed as they are guided into hypnotic trance. By simply following the directions of a certified hypnotist, patients become highly attentive and open to receiving programming. This programming helps them to fall asleep quickly and easily. The unconscious mind can eliminate negative thoughts that used to keep the client awake at night. Patients often report feeling refreshed and rested after emerging from hypnotic trance.

Once a patient is guided into hypnotic trance, the perspective of the inner mind, also known as the subconscious mind, can be shifted. Catastrophic and anxious thoughts and beliefs are reframed. Clients are free from blowing things out of proportion and begin to see the glass as being half full. Simply put, hypnotherapy works because it taps into the unconscious mind, and essentially programs it to eliminate rumination and relieve stress. 

No one should have to suffer from holiday related stress that prevents them from getting a good night’s rest. With the help of the hypnosis, clients can fall asleep easily and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. Regardless of the challenges, pressures, and stressors in their life, hypnotherapy can help. Hypnosis to manage holiday stress that disrupts your sleep can be a life changer.
