Side effects to stopping smoking by willpower alone - Sleep Patterns

What to expect if you stop smoking by willpower alone

Someone who tries to stop smoking by willpower alone, may find that they sleep more, sleep less, have disturbed sleep, dream more, or any combination of these.

When to expect it

If someone has tried to stop smoking by willpower alone, may find that they might suffer from this for about a week or so, but may last for up to a month, or in some cases, even longer.

Why does it happen?

Put simply, it's 'cognitive dissonance' at work again.  Because the person who has stopped smoking by willpower alone often finds that are having to change many aspects of their life, often 'something just doesn't feel right', and if it is on the person's mind at bedtime, it can effect their sleep pattern.

What you can do to help yourself

There are two main things you can do to help yourself...

• Avoid drinking caffeine in the evenings.  Don’t forget that caffeine isn’t just in coffee, it’s also found in tea and some fizzy drinks.  Learn to use a self-relaxation technique to help you get to sleep.  When you go to bed, don’t turn the lights out and try to sleep straight away, allow at least ten minutes or so for reading, or doing a crossword, or any relaxing activity like that to let yourself ‘wind-down’ first.

Why my clients find it easier

The 'need' to smoke comes from the individual's subconscious mind, weighing up the benefits of smoking, against the benefits of not smoking. 

The stop smoking hypnotherapy session sets about to change the subconscious balance, so that the person has no desire to smoke, because their subconscious mind finds that the benefits of not smoking, greatly outweigh the 'benefits' of smoking.

When this process happens, the mechanisms supporting these 'withdrawal symptoms' are no longer there.
