# 106 - Hypnosis and Sleep: Hypnotized, Mesmerized By What My Eyes Have Found
Update: 2024-07-01
Description
"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
