To my own utter amazement , I managed to think myself asleep by practicing some relaxation techniques I know from hypnosis . Admittedly , I was still awoken every couple hours and it would always take another 45 minutes to work through the range of emotions ( horror , disgust , fear , misery , despair , etc . ) and fall back asleep again .

Question: How might I feel about hypnosis now ?
Answer: I do n't think it helped a bit because I was scared to death .I could n't go to sleep no matter what relaxation technique I thought about .I have found this particular method to be very useful and successful .I thought it helped but it took me two hours to get back to sleep each time .
