Struggling with sleep can be deeply frustrating — especially when you’re tired but wired, exhausted yet unable to switch off.
For many people, sleep problems aren’t caused by a lack of sleep knowledge, but by a nervous system that has learned to stay alert. Stress, anxiety, overthinking, life changes, health worries and disrupted routines can all teach the brain that night-time is a time to stay on guard rather than rest.
Hypnotherapy works with the brain and nervous system to help restore sleep as a natural process, rather than something you have to force.
When sleep becomes a struggle
Sleep difficulties show up in different ways:
- Trouble falling asleep
- Waking frequently during the night
- Early morning waking
- A racing mind at bedtime
- Anxiety about sleep itself
- Feeling unrefreshed no matter how long you’re in bed
Often, the more you try to fix sleep, the more pressure it comes under.
This is where a different approach can help.
How hypnotherapy supports you
Sleep is not something the brain does by effort — it happens when the nervous system feels safe enough to let go.
Hypnotherapy helps by:
- Calming the stress response
- Reducing night-time overthinking
- Changing learned associations with bedtime
- Helping the brain re-learn rest
Rather than giving you more things to do, hypnotherapy helps remove the internal conditions that prevent sleep from happening naturally.
Choose the type of support that fits you
Everyone’s relationship with sleep is different.
Below are three ways people choose to work with sleep through hypnotherapy and related approaches.
The 10 Day Sleep Reset
A structured hypnotherapy-based audio programme designed to gently reset your sleep system over time.
This is ideal if:
- Sleep has been disrupted for months or years
- Anxiety or stress is closely linked to bedtime
- You want something you can use at home, at your own pace

Snoozeband
Snoozeband is a comfortable wearable device designed for listening while lying down, without pressure on the ears. It allows you to listen to audio through the night more comfortably, particularly if you sleep on your side or move during sleep.
Many people use Snoozeband alongside sleep audios or hypnotherapy recordings as a practical way to support relaxation at bedtime.
Unveiling the Power of Dreams
Sleep isn’t only about rest — it’s also how the mind processes emotion, memory and meaning.
This page explores the role of dreams, why they change during stress or anxiety, and how understanding them can be reassuring rather than unsettling.

If you’re not sure where to start
Many people worry that their sleep problem is “too mild” — or “too complicated” — to get help.
You don’t need to diagnose your sleep or know which option fits you best.
A calm conversation is often the best first step.
