Challenge #1 – Day 30 – It is Finished

Fri, Sep 18, 2009

Patrick

So it is the last day of the experiment and I went out with a whimper. A whimper because I couldn’t sleep at all today. Well, that isn’t really true. I slept for four hours and then I was done. I got up a bit and played video games for a bit and tried again and it didn’t pan out. In all fairness, I didn’t read my script today so maybe that is what threw in the monkey wrench. Or it could have been that I went to bed hungry. Or that I was really hot for no really good reason. I am not sure.

What I am sure of is that, in general, self-hypnosis has really worked for me in terms of getting to sleep and even staying asleep. Consistently, as you’ve read in this blog, I have been able to go t o sleep when I wanted and was able to stay asleep for at least six hours a day.

I think at the end of the day the best endorsement I can give self-hypnosis is that I plan to continue using it even after the experiment. I am going to keep up the sleep script and maybe add in some things about eating right and sticking with exercise and maybe throw in some great sex. The sky is the limit.

I started this whole thing a major skeptic and I am leaving it a believer. I have still never really answered whether or not I think it is really the hypnosis or more just fulfilling prophecies based on the desire for chance but what I have settled on is that it doesn’t make a bit of difference. The results are the same either way and they are positive. I am not going to waste time being cynical about something that has helped me sleep regardless of whether it is a placebo or the real deal.

So after a month, I give the book and the program my seal of approval and have already recommended it to a couple of friends.  It was an interesting trip and I am a little sad to be at the end but as far as self-hypnosis goes for me this is just the beginning. Thanks for reading.

    Patrick, nice job this month — you and Katie made me a believer and I’m really glad to hear that you are leaving this with an extra tool in the toolbox of life.
