Why trying sleep tips doesn't work to treat chronic insomnia
Why trying sleep tips don’t work to treat chronic insomnia
One of the first questions I ask a new client is what have they tried to overcome their sleep problems or chronic insomnia.
And just like I did when I struggled with my insomnia, people tell me a list of sleep tips that don’t work, or tell me about the gadgets of a list of products that they purchased with the hope that it will help them.
But more often than not, these general things don’t tend to work.
So in this video, I’ll go into more details about why trying sleep tips doesn’t work and how it affects your sleep confidence and create more sleep pressure that you don’t want.
Trying sleep hacks or tips or general gadgets don’t work, so I’d encourage you, please don’t try these sleep tips that you find online without understanding what the root cause of the problem is.

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!
