That first piece of advice from FloridaPuppy is good advice. Yes drink plenty of water as this will help to keep your throat, larynx and vocal cords moist. Drink water at room temp. This advice is also very useful for those of you having vocal singing lessons and those who sing full time. Yes I’m a singing baby too, lol. Another great thing to do and also kind and helpful for your throat is to make and dink smoothies.
As for listening to hypnosis files during sleep: While any hypnosis file will contain what is called an induction which is designed to help guide you into a relaxed state and then further deepen that sensation that will lead to trance, trance is another form of daydreaming and at first will just feel like deep relaxation and is a different state from REM sleep. If you find towards the end of a trance session that you are so relaxed and then have drifted off to sleep, that’s fine. You will fall asleep as you normally do and wake up. Whilst many people may not always remember everything during and returning to full consciousness after hypnnosis they haven’t been asleep.
"It has been suggested that human beings are in hypnotic trance states all of the time and that hypnosis is the rule and not the exception. We find ourselves in the driving trance, the learning trance, the watching TV trance, some people are in the walking down the road while they text trance. These are all simply altered states of awareness, “trance states” some of which are more useful than others."
Try to find a time in the day when you can do your self-hypnosis undisturbed but are not too tired. That way you can enjoy the process more.
