Stop Waking Before Dawn

Welcome to this hypnotherapy session designed to help you establish healthy biphasic sleep patterns and overcome early dawn waking. [4 second pause] This session is specifically crafted for those who need to maintain alertness during early shift work while achieving restorative sleep. [5 second pause] Before we begin, please ensure you're in a comfortable position where you can remain undisturbed for the entire session. [4 second pause] You may choose to lie down in your bed or sit comfortably in a chair, whichever feels most natural for you. [5 second pause] Allow your hands to rest naturally at your sides or gently on your lap, whatever feels most comfortable. [4 second pause] You can keep your eyes open for now, as I'll guide you when it's time to close them. [5 second pause] This session is designed to help you drift into natural, restorative sleep, so there's no need to worry about staying awake or remembering everything. [4 second pause] Your unconscious mind will absorb everything it needs while you relax completely. [5 second pause] Please note that this session is for relaxation and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice. [4 second pause] If you have any serious sleep disorders or medical conditions, please consult with your healthcare provider. [5 second pause] Now, let's begin this journey toward better sleep and improved energy for your early shifts.

I'm going to help you achieve the deep, restorative sleep your body needs. [5 second pause] You're already beginning to feel that familiar sensation of relaxation starting to flow through your body. [6 second pause] You know exactly how to do this, don't you? [5 second pause] Your body has been preparing for this moment all day, and now it's time to let go. [7 second pause] Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. [4 second pause] And as you exhale slowly through your mouth, allow your eyes to gently close now. [8 second pause] That's perfect. [5 second pause] With each breath you take, you're moving deeper into a state of complete relaxation. [6 second pause] Your breathing is becoming slower and more rhythmic. [5 second pause] In and out. [4 second pause] Slow and steady. [6 second pause] Notice how your body is already beginning to feel heavier and more relaxed. [7 second pause] Starting from the top of your head, feel a warm wave of relaxation beginning to flow downward. [8 second pause] This wave of comfort moves slowly down your forehead, relaxing every muscle. [6 second pause] Over your closed eyelids, releasing all tension. [7 second pause] Down through your cheeks and jaw, letting everything soften and release. [8 second pause] The relaxation continues flowing down your neck and shoulders. [6 second pause] Feel your shoulders dropping down, releasing all the weight of the day. [9 second pause] This beautiful wave of calm continues down your arms, through your elbows, down to your wrists and hands. [8 second pause] Your arms feel so heavy and relaxed now, resting comfortably. [10 second pause].

Imagine yourself in the most peaceful bedroom you've ever experienced. [8 second pause] This is your perfect sleep sanctuary, designed exactly as your unconscious mind knows you need it. [9 second pause] The temperature is absolutely perfect for your body. [6 second pause] Not too warm, not too cool, but that ideal temperature that makes you want to sink deeper into comfort. [10 second pause] The bed beneath you is incredibly supportive and soft, cradling your body in complete comfort. [8 second pause] The sheets feel smooth and cool against your skin. [7 second pause] Above you, the ceiling seems to dissolve away, revealing a beautiful night sky. [9 second pause] The stars are twinkling gently, like nature's own nightlight, providing just enough soft illumination to feel safe and secure. [11 second pause] There's a gentle breeze moving through this space, carrying with it the most soothing, natural scents. [8 second pause] Perhaps the fresh scent of clean air after rain, or the gentle fragrance of lavender. [10 second pause] In this perfect sleep environment, your body knows exactly how to regulate its natural sleep cycles. [9 second pause] Your circadian rhythms are aligning perfectly with your work schedule. [8 second pause] This is your sanctuary of rest, where healing sleep comes easily and naturally. [12 second pause]

Now, I'm going to count from ten down to one, and with each number, you'll find yourself sinking twice as deep into this beautiful, restful state. [8 second pause] Ten. [10 second pause] Sinking deeper into the most comfortable relaxation. [9 second pause] Nine. [11 second pause] Deeper still, feeling your body becoming heavier and more relaxed. [10 second pause] Eight. [12 second pause] Your breathing is so slow and peaceful now, each breath taking you deeper. [11 second pause] Seven. [13 second pause] Halfway there, and you're feeling so wonderfully heavy and comfortable. [12 second pause] Six. [14 second pause] Going deeper with each breath, each heartbeat, each gentle moment. [13 second pause] Five. [15 second pause] So deep and relaxed, your conscious mind can just drift away now. [14 second pause] Four. [16 second pause] Deeper than you've been in a long time, feeling so peaceful and calm. [15 second pause] Three. [17 second pause] Almost at the deepest level now, where real change and healing can occur. [16 second pause] Two. [18 second pause] So very deep, your body preparing for the most restorative sleep. [17 second pause] One. [20 second pause] Perfect. You're now in the ideal state for your unconscious mind to absorb these beneficial suggestions for healthy sleep patterns. [18 second pause]

Your body is now learning to embrace a natural biphasic sleep pattern that perfectly supports your early shift schedule. [12 second pause] Your unconscious mind is programming your internal clock to work in harmony with your daily routine. [15 second pause] When you sleep now, your body naturally divides your rest into two perfect phases. [13 second pause] The first phase provides deep, restorative sleep that rejuvenates your body and mind. [14 second pause] The second phase offers lighter, dream-rich sleep that consolidates your memories and prepares you for alertness. [16 second pause] Your body no longer wakes before dawn unnecessarily. [12 second pause] Instead, your internal clock is perfectly calibrated to wake you at the optimal time for your schedule. [15 second pause] Each night, as you drift off to sleep, your body automatically regulates its sleep cycles. [14 second pause] You sleep deeply and continuously through the night, waking only when it's time for your early shift. [17 second pause] Your mind remains sharp and alert during your early morning hours because your sleep has been perfectly restorative. [16 second pause] The quality of your sleep improves dramatically with each passing night. [13 second pause] Your energy levels remain stable and strong throughout your entire shift. [15 second pause] When it's time to sleep again, your body eagerly embraces rest, knowing exactly how to optimize each sleep cycle. [18 second pause] You feel refreshed, energized, and mentally sharp when you wake. [14 second pause] Your biphasic sleep pattern becomes as natural as breathing, supporting your health and performance perfectly. [20 second pause]

Imagine yourself tomorrow morning, waking naturally at exactly the right time for your early shift. [15 second pause] You feel completely rested and energized, your mind clear and sharp. [16 second pause] Throughout your shift, you notice how alert and focused you remain. [14 second pause] Your energy is steady and strong, lasting throughout your entire work period. [17 second pause] See yourself next week, having established this perfect sleep rhythm. [15 second pause] Night after night, you fall asleep easily and sleep deeply until the optimal waking time. [18 second pause] Your colleagues notice how alert and positive you are during your early shifts. [16 second pause] Picture yourself a month from now, your biphasic sleep pattern completely natural and automatic. [19 second pause] You no longer worry about early waking or feeling tired during your shift. [17 second pause] Your body has found its perfect rhythm, supporting both rest and alertness exactly when you need them. [20 second pause] This new sleep pattern has become so natural that you barely think about it anymore. [18 second pause] It's simply how your body works now, efficiently and perfectly. [22 second pause]

Continue drifting deeper into the most peaceful, restorative sleep. [20 second pause] Your body is absorbing all of these beneficial suggestions, integrating them into your natural sleep patterns. [22 second pause] With each breath, you're moving closer to the deep, healing sleep your body craves.
