I?ve had bad sleep habits since college and I remember having to make up sleep when I was working too hard, but my problem was manageable until the last two years. I spent my Spring Break vacation trying to get the grading done and the reports turned in, so I stayed up late that whole week. After that, I couldn?t sleep anymore. I would try to do things that would make me sleepy. I took hot baths, I took deep breaths, and I would read and try not to think about it. I?d get tired, fall asleep, and then wake up again or I would end up reading until 2am. \r

I?d tried listening to guided relaxation CDs and they didn?t do anything for me, so eventually my doctor prescribed a sleep medication. . Sleep was all that I focused on and I was tired regardless of what I did or what I tried. I could usually make it through the week, but by the time it got to Thursday I would depend on Ambien to fall asleep at night and Ritalin during the day to stay awake. I I couldn?t see any way out of the pattern. \r

I heard about Laura from my doctor who suggested her services when I told him that I wanted to get rid of the Ambien. The first time that I met with her, I realized that there were a lot of things that I hadn?t been seeing and working on my insomnia revealed some other things for me to work on and improve in my life. \r

At this point, I haven?t used any sleep medication in a month and it?s been great for me because I've noticed that I have a lot more energy. I feel confident now because I know that I can get to sleep on my own. I?m now able to sleep iwith my husband without being disturbed by his breathing or moving around and I can even sleep with the TV on in the next room. I would definitely recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone with insomnia because there?s been a lot more to it than just overcoming my problem with sleep. I?m confident that this is permanent because I?m able to sleep restfully on my own and that?s been a miracle for me.
