Sleep
Sleep is absolutely essential for keeping our minds and bodies healthy. It helps with everything from solidifying memories to managing emotions and repairing our cells.
Good sleep is key to staying sharp, keeping our mood steady, and feeling our best overall.
Beyond counting sheep
When sleep patterns get disrupted—whether it's due to insomnia, restless leg syndrome, frequent waking up during the night, difficulties falling asleep, or irregular sleeping patterns—this can seriously impact our thinking, mood, and even contribute to anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue.

Enhancing sleep quality and memory in insomnia using instrumental sensorimotor rhythm conditioning
Schabus M, Heib DP, Lechinger J, Griessenberger H, Klimesch W, Pawlizki A, Kunz AB, Sterman BM, Hoedlmoser K, 2014
This pilot study explored whether training the brain to boost a specific brainwave pattern (sensorimotor rhythm or SMR) during wakefulness could improve sleep and cognitive performance in people with insomnia. Twenty-four participants with insomnia underwent SMR training, and their sleep was monitored before and after the sessions. The results showed that after ten SMR training sessions, participants had fewer awakenings, better deep sleep, and improved sleep quality. Additionally, those who responded well to the training (16 out of 24) also experienced better memory consolidation.

This study tested whether training healthy people to boost a specific brainwave pattern could improve sleep and memory. Twenty-seven healthy participants were randomly assigned to either an SMR-training group or a control group with random brainwave training. Over ten sessions, the SMR group successfully increased their SMR brainwave activity. This increase was linked to better sleep, including faster sleep onset and more sleep spindles, as well as improved memory recall after a nap. The study suggests that training to enhance SMR brainwaves can positively impact both sleep quality and memory performance.
Systematic Review of Hypnotherapy for Sleep and Sleep Disturbance
Wofford, N., Snyder, M., Corlett, C. E., & Elkins, G. R., 2023
This review looked at 44 studies on how hypnotherapy affects sleep in adults. Nearly half (47.7%) of the studies reported positive outcomes, while about 23% had mixed results, and nearly 30% found no impact. When focusing on 11 studies that specifically targeted sleep issues, more favorable results were found, with over half showing positive effects. The findings suggest that hypnotherapy could be a promising approach for treating sleep disturbances, but future research needs to include more detailed reporting on effectiveness, side effects, and specific techniques used.
