Hypnosis Intervention for Sleep Disturbance

January 13, 2022 Leave a Comment

Sleep disturbances are a pervasive problem among postmenopausal women, with an estimated 40 to 64% reporting poor sleep. Hypnosis is a promising intervention for sleep disturbances. This study examined optimal dose and delivery for a manualized hypnosis intervention to improve sleep. Ninety postmenopausal women with poor sleep were randomized to 1 of 4 interventions: 5 in-person, 3 in-person, 5 phone, or 3 phone contacts.

Sleep outcomes were sleep quality, objective and subjective duration, and bothersomeness of poor sleep.
