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.
