A hypnosis script for insomnia. Insomnia has many causes.
The most common cause of insomnia is depression. People with depression typically have broken sleep patterns, especially waking up in the early hours and not being able to get back to sleep.
The other common reason for insomnia is anxiety. Many people can't sleep because of racing thoughts, their mind is too active to get to sleep. Anxiety insomnia is cured by curing the anxiety.
Some insomnia is genetic. Night terrors, sleep walking, sleep eating, sleep destruction, and other life long sleep problems are not treatable by hypnosis. That type of insomnia has to be referred to a sleep clinic.
That still leaves a lot of people with insomnia who can't get to sleep. This insomnia hypnosis script is for people who can't sleep now, but used to sleep OK.
The insomnia script is a series of hypnotic inductions. This script secretly puts the listener into trance while talking about insomnia at the same time they are subconsciously learning self hypnosis for insomnia.
