In the quest for perfect sleep, many people are sleeping worse.

The problem is that worrying about your sleep (or tracking it too closely) keeps your mind wired long after lights out. There’s even a term for it: orthosomnia - an unhealthy obsession with attaining perfect sleep.

When we obsess over data from sleep apps or stress about meeting the “8-hour goal,” (which, BTW, is a myth), we trigger the very alertness we’re trying to avoid.

The solution isn’t to try harder - it’s to let go.

Our psychologists use evidence-based approaches to teach you to notice those racing thoughts without fighting them, helping your body and mind finally relax into rest.

Ever found yourself wide awake after a late-night scroll? There's a reason for that.

1 - Scrolling keeps your brain alert when it should be winding down.
2 - Phone use before bed often means that we lose track of time and turn off the light later than we'd planned.

Interestingly, these two factors have a bigger negative impact on sleep than the light emitted from the screen.

This is where good sleep hygiene comes in - creating habits that support your body’s natural sleep rhythm. Experiment with setting devices aside an hour or so before bed. Try a calm wind-down routine like reading, stretching, or meditating.

Small changes can have a big impact on your sleep quality.

Last weekend our team had a wonderful morning Cultural Walk through Kings Park / Kaarta Koomba with the amazing Steve from In Culture Tours. It was very important and special to learn about the history of the land that our clinic stands on 🌱✨

We tasted native bush foods (including salty saltbush and even bush “chewing gum"). We also learned the rich cultural history of Kings Park, and reflected on the harsh impact of colonisation through truth-telling that was led with care.

There was learning, laughter, and reflection, and even a boomerang-throwing lesson… with varying levels of success! 😅🌀

Steve was such a knowledgeable, warm and approachable guide — helping us see the beauty of Kaarta Koomba through a cultural lens. We left feeling more connected, more aware, and grateful for the experience.

We can’t recommend In Culture Tours enough https://www.facebook.com/InCultureTours?mibextid=LQQJ4d

We all have the occasional rough night’s sleep, but when does it become something more?

If poor sleep is:
- Happening at least 3 nights a week
- Lasting for more than 3 months
- Impacting your mood, energy, focus, or daily life

It may be time to seek professional help.

We have a team of psychologists who specialise in treating sleep difficulties with evidence-based approaches like CBT-I, light therapy, and practical strategies tailored to you.

You don’t have to “just live with it.” Quality sleep is achievable, and support is available.

Recent news about overseas retailers halting melatonin sales to Australia has left many people concerned about their sleep options. It’s completely valid to feel frustrated or anxious if you were relying on it for sleep support.

While melatonin can be useful for certain sleep difficulties, it’s not the only path to better sleep, and often isn't the first-line recommended one. There are other safe, effective options that work to support long-term slumber.

Particularly in the case of Insomnia Disorder, melatonin isn't the treatment with the best evidence behind it.

Sleep Matters has been supporting people back to better sleep for nearly 10 years. Call (08) 6107 6828 to find out more.

People are often surprised to discover that sleeping pills aren't the recommended first-line treatment for insomnia.

The guidelines advise CBT-I.

CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia) is backed by decades of research and is proven to be more effective in the long term than medication. It works by targeting the thoughts and habits that keep insomnia going, such as worry at night, inconsistent sleep patterns, and time spent awake in bed.

It does take commitment and a little time to learn, but the results last much longer than quick fixes. That’s why our team of psychologists use CBT-I to help people break the cycle of poor sleep and get back to restorative rest.

Feeling study stress? Late-night cramming might feel productive, but research shows sleep is one of the best study tools you have.

During quality sleep, your brain consolidates memories and improves focus, helping you to 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 remember what you studied.

👉 Exam tip: swap one more hour of scrolling or study for an earlier bedtime. Your brain will thank you on test day.

Sleep is something we care about deeply. Over and over again, we see how powerful good sleep can be, how it steadies emotions, lifts mood, and helps people feel more like themselves. On the flip-side, we also see how hard life can feel when sleep isn’t going well.

For us, supporting people with their sleep is often where real change begins. Helping someone understand their sleep, make small shifts, and start to wake up feeling rested again can have a ripple effect on every part of their mental health.

On World Mental Health Day, we want to shine a light on sleep because it truly makes a difference in people’s lives. 🌿

Ever noticed how a bad night’s sleep can leave you feeling flat, irritable, or anxious the next day? And conversely, when your mental health isn’t in a good place, it often makes sleep even harder.

Sleep and mental health fuel each other - 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. This is why it's so important to look at them together and take a multi-pronged approach. Even small improvements in sleep can have a big impact on how you feel each day.

At Sleep Matters, we use evidence-based approaches to help break the cycle, so you can feel more rested and more like yourself again.
