Hey all. Not wanting to wade through the morass of hypno video searches and have my youtube recommendations badly warped, I was wondering if any of the fine folks around here could recommend me some sleep therapy hypno audio? I've been on a bad streak lately, and in my case, the insomnia is both purely mental and purely self-induced. I do have outside stress, but when i'm lying awake at night, i'm really not thinking about the employment situation. It's a cyclical problem of worrying i won't sleep, then not sleeping, so i figure maybe something to help me re-think would be worthwhile?

Of course, no idea if i'm actually suggestible, but there has to be a way to beat this that doesn't involve me popping melatonin pills on a nightly basis...

It might not be much help but if you want i can try to do some guided meditation via skype or chat.
The annoying part is, screen light is a bad influence for sleep times.

If you are willing to give it a try just send a private message.

Hope you get some rest and find what you're looking for.

I fixed the screen-light problem a while back, or at least mitigated it. I installed fl.ux, gives the screen a warm, reddish tint after sundown.

very good

the rest of the advice i can give are more situational

as for your stress issues, i am willing to listen and help you deal with them if i can.

I can provide the breathing and meditation techiques you could use to relax, if that can help.

I don't think stress is the issue, like i said. Hard to tell, since it's a very transitional time in my life right now and that might be wearing down on me subconsciously.

Did sleep naturally last night, though, and usually if i can chain two of those together, i'll be good for a while (it's like performance anxiety, almost. If i know i can do it, i'm confident in doing it again, but "it" is falling asleep...)

Well i'm here if you need me, want to talk or feel like trying anything then feel free...
