Sleep is fundamental to our wellbeing and survival. However, some types of sleep can be more helpful than others. A form of deep sleep, known as slow-wave-sleep, is associated with maintaining good health but can reduce with stress or age. A team of researchers (Cordi, Rossier & Rasch, 2020) wanted to find out if hypnosis before bed could encourage people to have more slow-wave sleep. In the study, 43 participants were connected to EEG machines and provided tapes for either a 15-minute pre-recorded hypnosis session or a 15-minute tape about an unrelated subject, then allowed to sleep for 8 hours. The EEG machines measured the participants’ brainwaves as they were sleeping so that the researchers could assess the quality of their sleep.

The results showed that the people who were more susceptible to hypnosis had significantly more slow-wave-sleep compared to the control group. This suggests that hypnosis could help many of us to get a more restful night’s sleep.

Finally tried something I’d been wanting to do for ages - indoor climbing with my kids! 🧗‍♀️

It felt amazing to move from thinking about it to doing it and to share that sense of achievement and fun together.

A great reminder that confidence grows through action. When we let go of hesitation and take that first step, we open ourselves up to new experiences and lasting memories. ✨

Hypnotherapy can help with more than you might realise. We share 10 ways hypnotherapy can help change your life.

Your brain literally changes during hypnosis.

Recent brain imaging studies show specific regions lighting up differently when you're in a hypnotic state.

The anterior cingulate cortex becomes less active - that's your brain's "worry centre."

Meanwhile, the default mode network shifts patterns, creating that focused, calm awareness clients describe.

This isn't placebo or imagination.

It's measurable neurological change happening in real-time.

Your sceptical mind can rest easy - science backs what we've known works.
