Sleep Q&A: How to get to sleep earlier than normal - and is it a good thing to do?
Sleep Q&A - How to fall asleep earlier than normal
In this episode of the Sleep Q&A, we talk about a question that I get asked all the time: how to fall asleep earlier than normal.
Falling asleep early is not always the best thing to do, so the first step is to figure out whether it actually works for your body. Not everyone is ‘made’ the same way, so it’s important to start with why you want to shift your sleep around.
Falling asleep early comes down to a few things that I shared in this video.
These will help you figure out the appropriate plan to help and support your body. But please note, falling asleep early is not always the best way to go.
I know that this was a bit of a more general answer to this question.

Sleep Coach, Professional Speaker and Author of The Sleep Deep Method®. Having struggled with insomnia and burning myself out in my mid-twenties, I spent the last 10 years researching sleep and learning that in order for us to sleep well at night, we need to look much deeper than just how tired we are and the number of hours we sleep. I believe that sleeping well at night is a skill that we can all develop. (The only exception is if you have a medical disorder that causes those sleep problems.)
Sleep Skills For Life Programme
What's the Sleep Skills For Life Programme about?
I remember the time when I struggled with insomnia and would regularly wake up in the middle of the night with nose bleeds (yes, that's how exhausted my body was), and thinking 'I wish there was a way that I can finally sleep well again'...
So many of my clients, just like you have these types of questions, looking for solutions but nothing seems to work for them.
This is where the last 12 years of my personal research come into the picture.
What I learned is that developing what I call 'sleep skills' is completely possible, no matter how long you've struggled with sleep problems. (The only exception is if you have a sleep disorder - but we'll talk about those too).
So the difference with this group sleep coaching programme, compared to other things you might have seen online is that we'll focus on the practical tools, techniques to help you develop those sleep skills. None of the quick fixes, potions and lotions, or even expensive gadgets!
