Hypnosis has been described anecdotally to be effective in the treatment of sleepwalking and sleep terror, potentially dangerous parasomnias. The authors report the use of hypnosis in the treatment of 27 adult patients with these disorders. A total of 74% of these individuals reported much or very much improvement when followed over substantial periods after instruction in self-hypnotic exercises that were practiced in the home. Hypnosis, often preferred over pharmacotherapy by patients, required one to six office visits (mean = 1.6). This represents a very cost-effective and noninvasive means of treatment, especially when constrasted with lengthy psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy.
有轶事记载称，催眠疗法在治疗梦游症和夜惊症（潜在危险的异态睡眠）方面有效。作者报告了使用催眠疗法治疗27名患有这些疾病的成年患者的情况。在指导患者在家中进行自我催眠练习后，对这些患者进行了长时间随访，结果共有74%的患者报告有很大或非常大的改善。催眠疗法通常比药物疗法更受患者青睐，需要进行一至六次门诊治疗（平均为1.6次）。这是一种非常经济高效且无创的治疗方法，尤其是与冗长的心理治疗和药物治疗相比。
