Adult Sleep Coaching and Insomnia Therapy

You're not alone. Only 5% of adults report they've never experienced insomnia.

Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep is a very normal reaction to stressful life events because this increases activation in mind and body. Often patterns return to normal without needing to do anything once difficult times in our lives have settled down.

Why sleep issues persist

But sometimes issues can persist beyond an initial trigger and become more frequent - even though you're prioritising regular opportunity in bed - resulting in insomnia.

When we begin to worry excessively about sleep loss and the impact on our daily functioning, this leads us to try to force it. Consequently, we begin to engage in habitual behaviours that gradually weaken the brain's sleep system in our bed.

Essentially, we can become too anxious about sleep - itself - to sleep, therefore creating a vicious cycle.

If poor sleep is affecting your quality of life, I can assess whether this is an insomnia disorder and guide you in the right treatment options.

Together, we can achieve your goals of reducing awake time bed and deepening sleep at night, so restful slumber happens automatically again.
