Self-Hypnosis for Better Sleep

Updated: Jul 31

As your experienced Hypnosis Specialist, I'm excited to share some helpful tips to improve your sleep using the power of self-hypnosis.


So settle in and feel the relaxation begin, as I share 5 steps that can transform your relationship with sleep…


1. Set the Scene: Before you even begin your self-hypnosis session, make sure your environment is conducive to relaxation. Dim the lights, put on comfortable clothes, and ensure your space is quiet and peaceful. ✨🛏️


2. Deep Breathing: Deep, rhythmic breathing helps induce a state of relaxation. Try inhaling deeply, pausing for a few seconds, and then slowly exhaling, making the exhale a little longer than the inhale. 😮‍💨


3. Visualization: Picture, imagine or sense a calm and peaceful scene. This could be a tranquil forest 🌲 a serene beach 🏖️ or even floating among clouds ☁️. Get a sense of this scene: do you feel the warmth of the setting sun? Hear gentle waves crashing, a bubbling stream or blissful peace and quiet? Get a sense of yourself drifting and floating. Let your imagination fill in the details. Any way you do this is just right for you.


4. Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Begin by tensing and then releasing each muscle group in your body, starting from your toes and working your way up to your head. 🦶🙆


5. Positive Affirmations:

Incorporate positive sleep affirmations like into your routine to help reinforce the mindset for restful sleep:

"I release all tension from the body as I prepare for bed"

“I am relaxed and ready for sleep”

“I welcome deep, restorative sleep”

“I am becoming sleepier with each breath I take”

“My mind is quiet and peaceful”

“Sleep comes easily to me”

"I breathe deeply and slowly"

"This is my time to heal"

"I am relaxed and prepared for deep sleep"

"Every breath I take brings me closer to sleep"


Bonus Tip: If you had difficulty with the visualization above, or just want to change it up, start to become aware of the things that you can sense, hear or feel around you -

the softness of the sheets…

the support of the bed beneath me…

the soft glow of the light outside the window…

as they take me deeper and deeper into relaxation… 😴


Remember, hypnosis is not about achieving an altered state 😵‍💫, it’s about reaching an inward state of focus that can help you relax and better control your sleep patterns.


Patience and practice are key, so keep at it!


Feel free to reach out if you have questions or need further guidance.

We're all in this journey to better sleep together. 🛌💤


To healthier nights and happier days.


With much love,

Tiffany ♥️
