Detailed explanation-1: -While hypnosis has proved to help people with cancer relax, deal with pain, and cope with the treatment, it cannot cure a person of the disease or any other severe disease. Hypnosis Cannot Change a Person’s Appearance. Hypnosis cannot change your appearance. It can only affect your brain and your actions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sleep hypnosis allows the recipient to “sleep” while remaining subconsciously aware. The resulting trance-like state occurs with lower-level brainwave activity – the delta, theta, and alpha states – where conscious activity subsides, and subconscious activity heightens.
