Download or read book Deep Sleep Hypnosis written by Dharma Self and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-23 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know how to achieve Deep Sleep?Do you want to learn Deep Sleep Hypnosis? The biggest reason that we can't get a deep sleep is because we will go to bed without completely relaxing. This hypnosis is going to take you through your anxiety, making sure all reasons that you can't fall asleep are gone. When you are able to let go of the things that are keeping you up, then you will not only be able to get to sleep faster, but you'll stay asleep all night. For this hypnosis, make sure that you are ready to fall asleep. Get rid of all other things around you that might be keeping you awake. Start to focus on your breathing. Feel it come in and out of your body just like how the thoughts of anxiety might be slowly passing through. One of the reasons that you are hanging onto stress is because of the obligations you feel you have. It can be hard to go to sleep when we think that we should be doing other things. Do not focus on that right now. The only thing you should be focusing on is your breathing. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. As you breathe in, think of all the great memories you have from the day. As you breathe out, let go of everything that occurred that might have stressed you out today. Breathe in the good things that happened, and everything that you are excited for tomorrow. Breathe out the things that you wish you would have done. You do not have to hang onto these stressful things anymore. The only thing that matters is that you are going to get the right amount of sleep tonight. As you fall deeper into a hypnotized state, start to count your breathing. Each time we take a full breath, every single breathing cycle we complete, brings us one step closer to complete and total relaxed sleep. The reason that our anxiety can be so bad is because we forget to control our breathing. When our breathing is out of whack, it makes our heart pump faster, too. This will make everything feel tense. We only need to focus on calming down right now. This is necessary because it will help us stay asleep. If we are stressed about other things around us, we will not be able to fall into a complete and deep sleep. In order to fall all the way asleep, we have to also clear our mind of all the things that might be stressing us out. It is important to reflect on the past, but there is no good use that is going to come from ruminating over things that make us anxious right now. We can't stay stuck in the past. The only option we have is to keep moving forward. In this book we will discuss the following topics: Introduction to Hypnosis Sleep - The Reason, The Purpose and How to Get It Why It's Important to Sleep Well Deep Sleep Scripts And many more!

Download or read book Mindfulness for Insomnia written by Catherine Polan Orzech and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Break the cycle of anxious thinking and rumination that keeps you up at night. With this much-needed guide, you’ll learn to quiet your mind, relax your body, feel less tense, and finally get the sleep you need. Sleep plays a crucial role in our waking lives. While we sleep, our bodies are recharging with energy, damaged tissue is repaired, and our memories are stored. When we don't get enough sleep, we are tired, less positive, less motivated, less focused, and more likely to feel depressed. We may even experience more intense cravings for high-fat, sugar-rich foods. And yet, despite the myriad advantages of getting a good night's sleep, countless people suffer from chronic insomnia. If you’re one of them, this book can help. In this guide, a trained mindfulness expert teams up with a behavioral sleep specialist to offer evidence-based meditations and an innovative four-week protocol to address the emotional stresses and anxieties that lie at the root of sleep issues. You’ll learn practices grounded in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindful self-compassion (MSC), and guided mindfulness and acceptance for insomnia (GMATI) to alleviate the mental, emotional, and physical suffering caused by insomnia. You’ll also learn to identify both internal and external factors that may be compromising your sleep, and develop a plan to address these issues. There is nothing we can do to “make” ourselves fall asleep. In many ways, this is why insomnia can be so maddening. But what we can do is help create the conditions necessary for healthy slumber. The mindfulness tools in this book will help you do exactly that.
Download or read book Sleep and Aging written by Mark P. Mattson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-06-20 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep and Aging provides a unique and timely collection of review articles that cover the gamut of basic and clinical aspects of sleep and the abnormalities in sleep associated with aging and neurological disorders that occur during aging. From the evolutionary basis of sleep and its normal functions in processes such as learning and memory, to considerations of the roles of sleep abnormalities in neurological disorders such as depression, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, the chapters are written by experts in the field. Several chapters focus on signalling pathways involved in sleep regulation and abnormalities in sleep, including those activated by serotonin and BDNF. Basic and clinical research on insomnia, sleep apnea and other disorders of sleep, are covered thus providing students and scientists at all levels with a valuable source of information to advance their understanding of this important topic in aging, biology and medicine. The circuits in the brain involved in sleep regulation, their neurochemistry, how they are altered in disorders of sleep and current clinical treatments of various sleep disorders are reviewed. The important role of sleep disturbances in neurodegenerative disorders is described and research in this particular area is leading to a better understanding of the relationships between synaptic plasticity, neuronal degeneration and the clinical manifestations of disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and depression. This book is a must for scientists, as well as non-scientists, who are interested in the neurobiology of aging, sleep and neurodegenerative disorders.
