Self hypnosis for sleep will help you resolve your insomnia issues
Are you tired a lot? Are you having problems with your memory? Are you suffering from headaches? Is your digestive system causing you discomfort? Do you get frequent infections? Do you have pain, especially overall body aches? Do you have high blood pressure? Are you a type 2 diabetic?
If you answered yes any of the above symptoms you may be suffering from the side effects of insomnia. Self Hypnosis for sleep alone could make a tremendous impact on your health. Imagine the additional benefits when you add acupressure for sleep and then neuroprogramming.
How well do you actually sleep. A University of California, San Diego psychiatry study of more than one million adults found that people who live the longest self-report sleeping for six to seven hours each night.
Did you know there are different levels of sleep? Your brain and body go through changes as you sleep.
Sleep is generally classified as Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and non REM. I am sure you will find the explanation of these different levels of sleep of interest, for you wish to obtain good health, right?
You actually transition through several brain wave patterns while you sleep. Each has a slightly different affect on your sleep and body. There is Alpha, Beta, Theta and Delta wave patterns.
Beta wave pattern are the waves that occur when you are awake, alert. Thses wave are the most common and most prevalent in the brain.
Alpha waves are likened to a light meditation. They are prevalent when you daydream They will become stronger when your eyes are closed.
Theta waves occur during heightened states of creativity and are found with a deep meditative state.
The final brainwave state is delta Here the brainwaves are of the slowest frequency. They typically center around a range of 1.5 to 4 cycles per second. They never go down to zero because that would mean that you were brain dead, just don’t tell anyone. Just checking if you are paying attention. But, deep dreamless sleep would take you down to the lowest frequency. Typically, 2 to 3 cycles a second.
Our interest here is how these patterns change when we go to sleep. When you go to bed, maybe you decide to read for a few minutes before attempting sleep, you are likely to be in low beta. When you put the book down, turn off the lights and close our eyes, your brainwaves will descend from beta, to alpha, to theta and finally, when you fall asleep, to delta.
Sleep proceeds in cycles of REM and NREM, the order normally being N1 → N2 → N3 → N2 → REM. There is a greater amount of deep sleep (stage N3) earlier in the sleep cycle, while the proportion of REM sleep increases later in the sleep cycle and just before natural awakening
The first stage. of Non REM is N1 which refers to the transition of the brain from alpha waves to theta waves. This stage is sometimes referred to as somnolence or drowsy sleep. Sudden twitches and hypnic jerks may be associated with the onset of sleep during N1. You lose some muscle tone and most conscious awareness of the external environment
During stage N2 muscular activity decreases and conscious awareness of the external environment disappears. This stage occupies 45 to 55% of total sleep in adults.
Stage N3 (deep or slow-wave sleep) is characterized by the presence of a minimum of 20% delta waves. This is the stage in which such things as night terrors, bed wetting, and sleepwalking can occur. 20–50% delta waves and later periods with greater than 50% delta waves have been noted at this stage.
Rapid eye movement sleep, or REM sleep accounts for 20–25% of total sleep time in most human adults. The most memorable dreaming occurs in this stage. Decreased muscular function is seen. Such paralysis may be necessary to protect organisms from self- damage through physically acting out scenes from the often-vivid dreams that occur during
How many hours of sleep do you need. The average adult needs 6 to 8 hours, an infant to age 5 needs 14 to 18 hours, age 5 to 12 need 10 to 12 hours, and an adolescent needs 9 to 11 hours.
