Insomnia

Now that I have moved my blog, I have decided to revise and repost my blog on Insomnia. It is certainly a subject which provokes a great deal of interest whenever it is in the news, and it is in the news quite often!

Insomnia can be caused by so many things: lifestyle, stress, bereavement, personal upheaval such as starting a new job or moving house, diet, medication...

Whatever the cause, it has a debilitating effect on the quality of life. Many people are wary of taking mediciation for Insomnia and so suffer, sometimes for years, believing that that there is no other solution.

Both Hypnotherapy, and Reiki in particular, are excellent for treating Insomnia, so why not book a treatment today? See my website http://www.annestagghypnotherapy.co.uk/ for contact details.

In the meantime some simple ways forward include:
• no caffeine/ alcohol after 7pm.
• avoid eating a heavy meal late evening - again 7pm is a good cut off point.
• if you want supper, then choose a warm milky drink and porridge or small bowl of sugarfree cereal
• leave invigourating showers for the morning and opt for a relaxing bath with lavender oil or similar
• dim the lights in the bedroom before this and ensure that the room is not too hot or cold
• the bedroom should be an oasis of calm - take the TV out!
• establish a routine and stick to it
• once in bed, close your eyes, take 2-3 slow deep breaths and slowly relax your body, beginning with your head, and working down to the feet

Phone or email for an appointment. Mention my Blog and I will give a 15% discount on one session of Reiki or Hypnotherapy.
