For those who are looking for a way to get in touch with their quality of sleep, then wearing a sleep tracker might seem like an ideal solution for those struggling with erratic sleep patterns, but for some, it can introduce unpredicted pitfalls.
Many people find that the constant monitoring of their sleep can lead to increased anxiety and a heightened awareness of sleep issues.
Instead of improving sleep quality, this hyper-focus can exacerbate insomnia or restless nights.
This phenomenon has been labelled ‘orthosomnia’ and refers to a condition where a person becomes overly preoccupied or anxious about their sleep quality and patterns.
This heightened focus on trying to achieve "perfect" sleep can actually worsen insomnia or disrupt natural sleep cycles.
The individual's excessive concern about getting enough sleep often leads to stress, which in turn makes it more difficult to relax and fall asleep, creating a self-perpetuating cycle of poor sleep.
This is where hypnotherapy can offer an alternative approach to resetting poor sleep.
Rather than focusing on the data of a sleep tracker, hypnotherapy works by targeting the subconscious mind, helping to address underlying anxieties, habits, or thought patterns that may be disrupting sleep.
Through relaxation techniques and guided suggestions, hypnotherapy can reframe negative associations with sleep and encourage a more natural, restful state.
By reducing stress and promoting calmness, it can help reset sleep cycles, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep without the constant feedback and pressure that sleep trackers may impose.
