There is plenty of science around that deals with sleep. It is worth taking some time to do your own research. My studies of sleep suggest that, alongside the science, there is also a certain artistry involved. We each do it differently.

 

This "A Great Night's Sleep" series brings together 18 different techniques that can help you sleep better. Some are so easy to learn. Others take practice.

 

They are all focused on the practical application of how you can artfully guide yourself to having the sleep that you want.

Our Solutions

 

The Mind/Body Connection

To begin, together we consider the mind/body connection. We explore how we might use our bodies to lead ourselves into sleep. Over the past 10 years I’ve asked many people about the routine they go through once they are in bed. Every person can describe a particular body position that they get themselves into just before going to sleep. That is our starting point. Add in some breathing exercises and and some body calming techniques and you could already be off to sleep.

​

Calming the mind

Physical exhaustion and mental exhaustion are different things. I’ve heard it said that, “It is the mind that needs sleep, not the body.” Given what goes on when we are asleep then, it seems that there’s something in that.

 

We have tools that help you calm the mind, slow the racing thoughts, switch off and focus instead on your sleep intention.

​

Is there a difference between thinking and imagining? We believe that there is. We take this idea much further and show you how to build visualisations that will take you into deep, lasting and refreshing sleep.​​​
