For those tired of feeling like they're stuck in a never-ending cycle of anxiety, doomscrolling, and insomnia, there's hope. A sleep coach is no longer just for babies; they're also here to help adults transform their daytime and nighttime habits to get better sleep.
It turns out that many adults who struggle with sleep are not as different from newborns as you might think. Both often have disrupted systems due to major life events, chronic patterns, or long-standing habits that have become deeply ingrained.
The culprit behind this widespread insomnia isn't just a lack of sleep; it's also what happens when we wake up in the morning and put our heads down. Most people think they've got their sleep setup right, but there are often hidden factors at play – like cortisol (adrenaline) flooding our brains from constant notifications, social media, or doomscrolling through the news.
To combat this, many adults need help training themselves to relax and calm down. A sleep coach will typically start with basic hygiene practices but focus on pinpointing what's really holding them back. They'll work with their clients to rewrite negative thought patterns, identify triggers that set off stress responses, and help develop coping mechanisms for self-soothing.
One sleep consultant shared a story of helping someone realize they were only consuming calories at night and nothing during the day – a habit that completely disrupted their system. Another client was an avid exerciser who drank 200 ounces of water a day; after diminishing her hydration schedule, she noticed significant improvements in her sleep quality.
The key takeaway from these stories is that it's never too late to change your habits and break free from insomnia. A designated "worry time" can be helpful – setting aside an hour each evening to focus on anxiety without worrying about everything else.
A sleep coach will work with you for 12 sessions over three months, following up in between to track progress and provide ongoing support. They'll help you confront self-judgment as a major barrier to good sleep and encourage you to view restful nights as your birthright – something everyone should be doing.
By retraining their minds, bodies, and environments, adults can finally take control of their sleep and wake up feeling rested and refreshed.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT HELP IS JUST A STEP AWAY! I THINK WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT HERE IS THAT PEOPLE REALIZE THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE A SLAVE TO THEIR BEDTIME HABITS - THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP YOU CHANGE YOUR MINDSET & Routines. IT'S ALL ABOUT FINDING THAT BALANCE BETWEEN RELAXATION & PRODUCTIVITY, AND REMEMBERING THAT RESTFUL SLEEP IS SOMETHING WE ALL DESERVE 
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT - NEWBORN BABIES GET TO SLEEP ALL DAY ( sort of 
) AND THEN HAVE LONG, RESTFUL NIGHTS. WE COULD LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM THEM!
I'm not buying the idea that a sleep coach is just what we need to break free from insomnia. I mean, it's not like these people are curing cancer or fixing broken relationships with one session. It's still gonna be about making some major lifestyle changes, like cutting back on screens and notifications before bed 
. We can't just outsource our mental health to a third party, no matter how many sessions they promise.
️
. Can't we just take a step back and realize that it's okay to not be doing anything productive every single day? 
And then we try to sleep, but our brains just won't shut off. It's all about creating boundaries, you know? Like, no screens before bed and a designated "worry time" in the evening 
. I've tried apps that help with relaxation and meditation... they're pretty cool 
.
. But honestly, I think this is such great news! 
It just goes to show that we don't have to be slaves to our sleep habits anymore 
). The idea of having a dedicated "worry time" each evening is pure genius 
...who wouldn't want to take an hour to just chill out before bed? 
And the fact that it's not about finding some magical sleep solution, but more about changing our habits and mindset, feels so empowering 
. I mean, if someone who was a total exerciser and drank loads of water (which is great for hydration btw 
) could still experience improvements in their sleep quality just by making one small change...then we all can! 
. Sleep coaches might be a solution but let's be real, how many people are actually willing to face the stress they're putting on themselves? I mean, have you seen the state of the world news lately? It's like we're being conditioned to constantly fear and worry about something 
. And don't even get me started on notifications and social media, it's like our brains are already wired to overthink and stress ourselves out 24/7 
. We need real change, not just some fancy therapy session 
Like, it's not like we were just born with this anxiety and cortisol-fueled brain fog or anything... But seriously, who knew that sleep coaches were the answer to all our adulting problems? I mean, 12 sessions over three months is a nice chunk of time to work through your issues... or you could just try meditating or yoga like everyone else 
But seriously, I think this is a great step towards recognizing that we're all in this together, and that seeking help is totally okay 
. And let's be real, sleep coaches are like superheroes for our brains 
! The idea of having a "worry time" each evening to focus on anxiety without worrying about everything else? Genius! 
The idea of setting aside "worry time" is genius – it's like creating space between our thoughts and allowing ourselves to breathe 
It's crazy how our brains are like, totally connected to cortisol and notifications and all that jazz. Like, we're always on edge, even when we're supposed to be sleeping!
