Adequate sleep enhances weight loss. It could be associated with the role of hypothalmus (which regulates sleep and appetite) or it could be hormonal?
Its relevance to hypnosis - there could be an argument that spending time in a hypnotic trance state may have a negative effect on weight loss in a similar way to sleep. Is there any evidence to suggest otherwise???
Almost anyone that comes to a Clinical hypnotherapist to lose weight has had enough information digested as to how and what to eat. Clinical Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness in which the unconscious mind becomes receptive to positive changes and new ways of addressing issues in your life is fed back to you. The treatment includes natural deep states of relaxation and calm, which are both therapeutic and rejuvenating. Clients come to a hypnotherapist to reframe and shift their thoughts, feelings and behavior about food and eating, hence enhancing weight loss with suggestion and motivation.
Ghrelin and leptin are both produced in the body. A sleep-deprived person over stimulates their ghrelin production, which increases their desire for food. Among the hormonal effects sleep restriction causes an increase in ghrelin levels in the blood. Ghrelin is a hormone that has been shown to reduce energy expenditure, stimulate hunger and food intake, promote retention of fat and increase glucose production in the body. Simultaneously lack of sleep reduces the production of leptin, which is the body’s appetite suppressant. So if you don’t have enough sleep the hormones in your body gets out of whack and you feel hungry and such cravings lead to weight gain.
Adequate sleep is an important factor in successful weight loss. During hypnosis suggestions are given that adequate sleep be a part of a lifestyle package along with diet and exercise. Sleep is one of the important factors that can influence a person’s ability to stay on a diet.
