Realise that you may well be using it as a (safer) substitute for real life, with its risks, problems, work, and boredom.

Set a sensible limit, such as 2 – 3 hrs, and use an alarm, or reminder in your PDA, or cell/mobile phone for 10 mns earlier, so you can finish. Have some things ready to do, then.

If you don’t stick to this, no internet next day.

Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of suggestibility, in which you are better able to communicate with your subconscious mind.

85% of people are suggestible, to some degree, so you could either seek professional hypnotherapy, or hypnosisdownloads.com has one about overcoming internet addiction. ~~~

Many people who stay indoors a great deal don’t get sufficient daily exposure to sunlight to produce adequate levels of vitamin D3.

A deficiency in this very important vitamin can lead to depression. Take at least 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily: (certified free of mercury) it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or its FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it! In the winter months, if not getting sufficient daily exposure to strong light, see www.mercola.com SEARCHBAR: enter: “vitamin D3″.

Go to a doctor and ask for a 25(OH)D, also called 25-hydroxyvitamin D, blood test. When you get the results, don’t follow the typical “normal” reference range, as these are too low. The OPTIMAL value that you’re looking for is 45-52 ng/ml (115-128 nmol/l)”. The company which tests your levels has to be one of those using the correct form of test, and this topic is addressed via the searchbar at Mercola.com – “vitamin D3; testing”.
