Hypnosis, ("sleep") is often thought to be "a trance-like state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject।" http://Louis2J2Sheehan2Esquire.US

The technique is sometimes used for medical purposes to relieve anxiety or otherwise improve or alter behavior. Its effectiveness has been clinically demonstrated in many areas, most notably in the area of accute pain relief. It is also used in popular stage acts in which subjects are persuaded to perform bizarre feats.
