There are lots of things you can do to improve your sleep, Here are some of my personal favourites:
Familiarity:
I find it really helpful to go to bed at a similar time each night and have to a routine. for self-care in preparing for bed. .
Avoid electronics:
Switch of the tv and put down your phone about an hour before you go to bed.
Relax:
Before bed, a warm bath or shower can be really helpful, or perhaps a scented candle - but make sure you extinguish it!
Once you are in bed, use something to help you relax. Guided meditations are a favourite of mine. I use YouTube, and I just search for 'Guided Meditation - Sleep' or 'Guided Meditation - Peace'. Sometimes I just listen to sounds, searching 'Rain' or 'Water'. 'White noise' is really helpful for some.
The NHS publish some really helpful guidance
But if none of these help, how would I help you as a Clinical Hypnotherapist?
