Does hypnosis work when you're asleep?

Does hypnosis work when you're asleep? What I mean is that if you play a hypnosis recording and leave it on whilst you sleep, will your unconscious mind still respond? Do you see what I mean?

Hi Joanne
I am a Hypnotist (and found this forum checking myself out on google, so I will not spam it with adverts or links). I learned that your sub conscious mind remembers and does all manner of things when your in hypnosis when your awake and when your sleep. I was told and taught this from people whom I admired and respected, but who I later found out were wrong.
As a Psychologist I learned very early on that contrary to the claims I first learned by well meaning Hypnotherapist there are hundreds of studies done that show you do not learn anything or remember anything or change when your asleep.
It is a nice idea, and I wish it were true, but the reality is your sub conscious mind processes information only when your conscious not when your brain shuts off during sleep. So my advice to you is to not all asleep during your session, and do not buy anything that claims to work while your asleep. It will either be a con or made from someone prone to never questioning or growing in their skills
