Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakenings and difficulty falling back asleep, waking up too early in the morning, and restless sleep, even with adequate sleep duration. Insomnia can have negative impacts on sufferers, including physical and mental health issues such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, depression, and anxiety. Furthermore, insomnia also impacts social and productivity, such as decreased work performance and relationship problems due to emotional instability. Hypnotherapy is a form of healthcare that involves a state of deep relaxation and focus to help patients overcome various problems. In hypnotherapy, the client and hypnotherapist work together to achieve goals. During therapy, the nurse acts as a guide, maintaining full awareness and control over the client. The client will remain conscious during the session, be able to hear the therapist's voice, remember what happened, and even reject suggestions if they don't align with their values.
