The average number of hours of sleep is generally considered to be 8 hours per day. However some people sleep for longer whilst others may function successful on 4 or 5 hours of sleep.

Why do we need sleep though? Here are some research that explains why sleep is so important to us.

1) Healing and sleep. When we sleep, and as the body rests, so our healing immune system can do some of their best work to repair damage and fight infection.

2) Sleep and mood. A lack of sleep leads to that tired feeling and our stress levels increase making us irritable and snappy.

3) Sleep helps the memory. During sleep our minds organise and compound our memories.

4) REM and sleep. A vital part of sleep is the REM or Rapid Eye Movement phase. Deprivation of this phase for extended periods of time can lead to mental instability.

5) Metabolism and sleep. Sleep helps metabolism. Insomnia affects the release of hormones which in turn alters our appetite.

As sleep is so vital, it is important to act on any early signs that sleep problems are turning into insomnia.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy can often help someone recover their vital sleep patterns.
