Sleep Q&A - What can I do when I can't fall asleep because of anxiousness?
What can I do when I can’t fall asleep because of anxiousness
When you’re already going to bed with anxiousness, it’s often really difficult to get comfortable and fall asleep easily.
So sleep-related anxiety or even daytime anxiety before bed starts with working on the problem before it begins.
In this video, I’ll talk about the two types of anxiousness that I come across most often in my practice. One is daytime anxiousness resulting in lack of sleep and the second is sleep-related anxiety. What to do about these are not the same and it’s really important to seek appropriate help.

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!
