NEW STUDY CONCLUDES THAT HYPNOSIS HELPS
IMPROVE SLEEP
A new study published in June 2014 (by a team of
Swiss researchers led by a bio-psychologist from the Psychological Institute of
the University of Zurich) finds that hypnosis improves deep sleep. After
listening to a sleep-promoting audio tape containing hypnotic suggestion,
participants who were suggestible to hypnosis spent two-thirds less time awake,
and about 80 percent more time in deep sleep compared to those who slept without
the hypnotic suggestion.
The study claims to be the first to assess via
measure of brain wave
activity, the beneficial impact hypnosis has on
deep sleep which is
considered to be the most restorative sleep.
Also, the researchers noted that deep sleep has a beneficial impact on memory,
the immune system, and cell repair.
To explore how hypnotic suggestion might help
improve deep sleep, the Swiss team enlisted 70 healthy Swiss women aged 18 to
35. All participated in a series of five in-laboratory experiments, successively
staged once a week or five weeks.
