Insomnia

Insomnia is the perception of inadequate or poor-quality sleep. It can be due to problems falling asleep, early wakening, and waking frequently during the night or a combination of these.

Insomnia Causes & Prevalence

Do you have trouble falling or staying asleep? A common condition in modern life, insomnia is essentially difficulty falling or staying asleep, even when you have the chance to. With insomnia, there are differing degrees of severity, ranging from acute to chronic. There are many causes, ranging from genetics, behavior, and environment, along with many different treatments such as medication, as well as more lifestyle-based behavioral habit changes.

Short-term insomnia may also occur as a side effect of certain medications and due to stress. Chronic insomnia is more serious and may be caused or worsened by a variety of mental and physical problems.

In addition to serious health conditions, it can negatively affect your mood and temperament, as well as your ability to focus on daily tasks. Plus, lack of sleep influences what and how much you eat. Since hormones are regulated during sleep, when you are sleep deprived, your hunger hormones become out of whack, which increases feelings of hunger and decreases satiety.

The most common medical treatments of insomnia consist of over-the-counter and prescription medication such as benzodiazepine hypnotics, non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, and melatonin receptor agonists. However, their effectiveness and side effects may vary and be undesirable. Also, long term reliance on medications may impair your ability to fall and stay asleep naturally.
Alternative treatments focus more on root causes, allowing your body to revert to a natural sleep pattern once again and regain your ability to fall and stay asleep.

Hypnotherapy

Hypno Scaled

Hypnosis is a completely natural state of mind, like sleep, except for the fact that the senses become more alert and heightened. Hypnosis alters the state of consciousness in such a way that the analytical left-hand side of the brain is distracted or bypassed, while the more creative right-hand side is invited out to be more alert and aware. The conscious mind is diverted or distracted whilst the subconscious mind is woken up.

Hypnotherapy can be used to treat insomnia by working on positively changing the subconscious mind, which is where many of the root causes of insomnia lie. By targeting the subconscious mind, stress, negative thinking patterns, and anxiety can be relieved which are some of the main causes of insomnia.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral 2 1 E1490939326813

Craniosacral Therapy is another great way to treat insomnia.

Every day your body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate for. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with. Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch.

With craniosacral therapy, tensions and other causes of insomnia can be relieved by improving the performance of the central nervous system and treating issues that hinder it. It can help get rid of tightness, pain, and related issues that lead to insomnia.

Cognitive Restructuring

For people with insomnia, irrational thoughts may lead to difficulty with sleep. For example, former experiences of insomnia may lead to worry about falling or staying asleep. This can become a disruptive pattern that can be difficult to break. Cognitive restructuring begins to break this cycle through identifying, challenging, and altering the thoughts and beliefs that contribute to insomnia. The therapist assists with identification of these disturbing thoughts and objective evaluation.

Providing information about the connection between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and sleep is important to CBT-I. For some patients, CBT-I is more effective than medications. This treatment has also been shown to be effective in groups that are at particularly high risk of experiencing insomnia, such as pregnant women, wpost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and cancer patients,. CBT-I is considered effective with many types of insomnia, even showing potential benefits for people with short-term insomnia. This means that CBT-I may be useful in treating insomnia symptoms even when they don’t meet the criteria for chronic insomnia.
