30 Days of Hypnosis

I am half-way between day 17 and day 18 and trying to stay awake through the night. Lately, and I think it was the flu, I’ve not been able to maintain my schedule at all. So I go in to work and around midnight I get really sleepy and it becomes difficult to stay awake. Right now I am very tired and my eye lids are very heavy and I don’t know if I can make it. It is sort of funny to be battling this sleep stuff and then to actively try to stay awake but that is where we are.

Last night I couldn’t help but to go to bed at one am and I used the process and got to sleep. I slept about six hours and woke up super hungry. After a round of breakfast and some shopping my girlfriend needed to do I eventually made it back to bed where I tried to go to sleep again. In a previous entry I wondered if I could just use the process to allow me to sleep in short bursts since I am generally very successful with that aspect of it. I can say after past couple of days in which I tried that method it works. What is notable as well is that the noise that is usually in my head goes away entirely now and I drift off as advertised. I am in the midst of counting and my mind just drifts off.

I think that at this point I can start to say that the self-hypnosis and the sleep process are working. I still have a ways to go as far as staying asleep is concerned but I seem to be moving in the right direction. As with everything, you can’t really expect things to work right away and if something is worth doing it is worth sticking with. I understand that people can get discouraged and lose their enthusiasm for things like this but I think, at least as far as my current experience is concerned, that this is definitely something worth sticking with. As we move forward into the last weeks of this I am looking more a progression and less proof that it does what it claims. At this point I think there is definitely something to this self-hypnosis thing after all.
