Stay awake while using hypnosis

Hey, this might sound like a joke, but I'm serious, unfortunately😭 Yesterday i tried a hypnosis for the first time. I put on a video, closed my eyes and relaxed. The video was about an hour long. After about 20 minutes or so i just fell asleep. Is that normal? And more importantly, is there a way to prevent me from falling asleep?

Yeah it happens. Are you sleeping okay? Might be a sign that you're a bit sleep deprived.

Also our natural tendency when we close our eyes and go inward is to fall asleep.

Meditation helps, specifically working to overcome dullness/drowsiness from lack of stimulation helps with this aspect.

I fall asleep on pre-recorded hypnosis tracks often, even the ones that aren’t boring.

Try listening at a different time of day. If I do it before lunch I doze off less.

If you're tired and lay down, then it may happen that you fall asleep from a relaxtion induction. To avoid that you either have to sit up don't do hypnosis when tired or don't do relaxation based inductions.
