Sleep Q&A: Should I stay in bed when I’m awake at night
Sleep Q&A: Should I stay in bed when I’m awake at night?
In this episode of the Sleep Q&A, I answer one of the most frequently asked sleep questions about waking up in the night.
If you have trouble staying asleep at night, you’re probably asking yourself: should I stay in bed if I can't sleep or should I get out of bed, if I can’t sleep. These are the two versions of the same question that I answer in today's video.
Getting out of bed at night will depend on the sleep triggers and the extent of the problem you have meaning you can’t stay asleep at night. You see trouble staying asleep at night can have various root causes, just like I explained it in a different video earlier this week. So watch that video too, if you’re struggling to stay asleep at night.

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!
