Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that affects people of all ages, genders and backgrounds. In Ireland. it is estimated that 1-in-4 people report difficulty falling or staying asleep. It is higher in the UK with 1-in-3 people in the UK experience symptoms of insomnia at some point in their lives, with women being more likely to be affected than men.
However, there is a solution. After completing our sleep hypnotherapy programme, we ensure everyone we work with finally gets the consistent deep sleep they need and deserve.
What is insomnia and how is it caused?
Insomnia can be caused by a range of factors, including stress, anxiety, depression, medical conditions and medications.
While short-term use of medication can help to alleviate insomnia symptoms, long-term use of sleeping pills can have negative effects on a person’s health and well-being.
One of the main negative effects of using sleeping pills long-term is that they can lead to dependence and addiction.
This means that a person may become reliant on medication to sleep and find it difficult to sleep without it.
Additionally, sleeping pills can cause drowsiness, impaired coordination and cognitive function, and increase the risk of falls and accidents.
Insomnia Treatment: How to improve sleep
Fortunately, there are a number of alternative solutions to resolving insomnia, anxiety and stress in general.
1. One of the most common ways to manage insomnia is through cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
CBT is a form of talk therapy that helps people to identify and challenge negative thoughts and behaviours that contribute to insomnia.
It is a safe and effective treatment for insomnia that has been shown to be as effective as medication in the short-term and more effective in the long-term.
2. Hypnosis and our unique multi-therapy approach is much faster acting and can have even better results. That’s what you want right? Read more about the difference between Hypnosis and CBT here.
Hypnosis for insomnia is a gentle process where we communicate at the subconscious level and resolve the issue from the core.
Sleep Hypnosis, or sleep hypnotherapy is amongst the most effective ways to resolve issues such as sleep apnea, sleeplessness, sleep disturbance and insomnia in a very short space of time. Sleeping is one of the most important things humans can do for the rejuvenation of the body and the mind. If you do not have a healthy sleeping pattern, your body becomes weaker, slower and cognitive ability will decline. This is something you will see after just one day of getting zero sleep, which is undeniable.
Using Hypnosis and our multi-therapy approach, we provide an effective and alternative insomnia treatment that does not require medication. We always advise to go by the recommendations of your doctor, but many of our past clients have been addicted to sleep medication for many years and have tried everything else. Within just a few sessions, they are medication-free and getting the best sleep of their lives.

Alternative treatments to insomnia and sleeping issues
3. Other non-pharmacological treatments for insomnia include relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga and deep breathing exercises. These techniques can help to calm the mind and reduce stress, which can in turn improve sleep quality.
Regular exercise, a healthy diet and good sleep hygiene practices such as establishing a consistent sleep schedule and creating a relaxing sleep environment can also improve sleep quality and reduce the likelihood of developing insomnia.
4. In addition to non-pharmacological treatments, there are also natural remedies that can help to alleviate insomnia symptoms.
These include herbal supplements such as valerian root, passionflower and chamomile, which have been used for centuries to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.
