# 106 - Hypnosis and Sleep: Hypnotized, Mesmerized By What My Eyes Have Found

  • Summary

  • "You are getting sleepy" is what I think about when I think of hypnosis, and given that it has been looked at as a treatment for insomnia, it makes a lot of sense. While the research linking sleep and hypnosis is a both thin and evolving, there are studies to learn from. In this episode we will:

    • Look at the history of hypnosis as a sleep/insomnia tool
    • Define hypnosis and learn why a failure to agree on a definition of hypnosis hurts research
    • List common signs of hypnosis
    • Evaluate two literature review studies on hypnosis and insomnia
    • Focus on insomnia in insomnia subgroups: mild cognitive impairment, post-menopausal women, and children
    • Review techniques for hypnosis
