“Honest Post: I wear all the hats.

I am the CEO of Easy Sleep Solutions. I am also the Cleaner. The Chef. Tech Support. The Taxi Driver for the girls. The Conflict Resolution Officer (sibling arguments). Chief Guinea Pig Wrangler. To mention just a few.

I couldn’t do it if I didn’t sleep well.

This isn’t a ‘Look at me, I’m Superwoman’ post. This is a reality check. We expect ourselves to function at 100% capacity in every area of our lives, but often we are running on 10% battery.

I prioritise my sleep not because I’m obsessed with it, but because if I don’t, the wheels fall off the bus.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be rested enough to handle the chaos.

Who else is wearing too many hats today?

If I walked into your house today and you were on your knees with exhaustion because of your little one’s sleep, this is where I would start:

1. Look at the WHOLE day. Sleep doesn’t start at bedtime. It starts when they wake up. How much activity have they had? How much day time sleep? Were they actually tired when it came to bedtime? How much connection have they had? If their ‘cup’ isn’t full of attention during the day, they may try to fill it at 2am.

2. Check the Boundaries. Children push boundaries to see if they hold firm. If you say ‘it’s sleep time’ but then you let them get up for a snack, then a story, then a drink... the boundary is moving. Secure boundaries = Secure children = Better sleep. I get it , you’re exhausted, and often it’s easier to go for the path of least resistance; been there, seen it, done it! But, I also know when you stick to the boundaries it does get easier. We’re not talking harsh ‘tough love’, just sticking to the plan.

3. Stop ‘fixing’ what isn’t broken. Sometimes they are just noisy sleepers. Sometimes they are just grumbling. Pause before you rush in. Give them a chance to settle themselves. If you don’t try, you won’t know! I’m not suggesting leaving them until the morning, just a few minutes rather than sweeping in as soon as you hear them make a noise.

Sleep is like a Grand Prix (for those of us missing it now the season’s ended…)

Bear with me on this one.

Think of your night like a Grand Prix:

The Warm Up (Bedtime Routine): You can’t just rock up to the starting line with cold tyres and expect to win. You need a wind-down routine to get the engine (your brain) ready to switch gears.

The Race (The Sleep): This is where the magic happens. Theoretically, we all have the same size engine, but the setup is different. Some engines need more fuel (food), some need a different track temperature (room temp), and sometimes you have to give up the racing line because someone else cuts you up (partner, child, pet, cat walking on your face).

The Cool Down (Morning Routine): How you start the day impacts how you sleep the next night.

If your ‘car’ wasn’t performing, you wouldn’t scrap the car. You’d tweak the setup. You’d look at the tangible data.

That is exactly what I do as a Sleep Coach. I’m your Chief Mechanic.

Is your engine stalling at 3am? Let me know in the comments!

Why I schedule a weekly call with my twin who lives in Florida every week.

(And no, it’s not just to gossip).

It’s because we all need something to look forward to, and we all need someone in our corner who just ‘gets it’.

It’s about accountability and support. knowing she is there makes the hard weeks easier. I don’t feel like I’m bothering her, or interupting anything, as we always speak at the same time on the same day each week - we both have it blocked out in our calendars.

I realised recently that this is exactly what I do for my clients. Yes, I give you a Sleep Plan. Yes, I teach you the science. But mostly?

I’m the person in your corner.

I’m the one you can message at 8am saying ‘Last night was awful, because…’ and I won’t judge you. I’ll listen and work through it. Or the one you message saying ‘THEY SLEPT THROUGH!’ and I’ll do a virtual happy dance with you.

Face-to-face can be hard; it makes us feel vulnerable. Messaging someone who supports you? That’s powerful.

Dads/Partners often hate me for this advice, but hear me out.

I use the Pizza Delivery Analogy to explain why the non-breastfeeding parent needs to handle the night wake-ups when we are weaning off night feeds.

Imagine this: It’s 3am. The doorbell rings. It’s a pizza delivery driver. You smell the pepperoni. You see the box. You’re going to want a slice, right? Even if you weren’t that hungry, the food is right there.

Now imagine the doorbell rings at 3am and it’s... the plumber. You aren’t going to ask him for a slice of pizza. You’re just going to go back to sleep.

Mum = The Pizza Driver. If Mum goes in to settle the baby, the baby smells the milk. They know the food is there. Of course they are going to protest if they don’t get it!

Dad = The Plumber. If Dad goes in, the baby knows milk isn’t an option. It’s much easier for them to accept comfort and go back to sleep without the confusion.

So, Dads... sorry to throw you under the bus, but it’s your turn! 😉

Obviously, I’m not a feeding expert, and am always led by what my clients want to achieve and happy to support them if they want to night wean, but equally we can still work together even if they do want to keep the night feeds; our sleep and our baby’s are as unique as we are, there is no one size fits all!

If you’d told me 6 years ago that I would be suggesting mindfulness to my clients, I would have laughed in your face!

I used to think it was all a bit ‘woo-woo’. I’m a practical person. Previously I would have said I was more interested in spreadsheets and schedules than breathing exercises and relaxation techniques.

But here is the reality I see with so many adult clients: Racing thoughts.

Your head hits the pillow and suddenly your brain decides it’s the perfect time to replay every embarrassing thing you’ve done since 1998 (and if you’re anything like me, that’s A LOT!), or panic about the email you didn’t send.

Practising ‘being bored’ or mindfulness during the day isn’t about becoming a monk. It’s about teaching your brain that it doesn’t need to be running at 100mph all day every day.

If you don’t get to slow down during the day, why would bedtime be any different? Feel like you don’t have time?…how about next time you make a cup of tea or even when you go to the toilet - don’t distract yourself, just ‘be’.

Do you have a brain that doesn’t want to shut up at bedtime? Let me know in the comments!

What you might expect working with me vs. What you actually get…

I think people hesitate to book a sleep coach because they time I’m going to turn up to our call with a clipboard, full of judgement and seriousness.

That’s not the case with me!

I’m professional, yes. I have the qualifications, knowledge and experience. BUT, I’m also a middle-aged single Mum who knows life gets messy!

If you work with me, you’ll get:
- A bespoke plan that actually fits your life
- Zero judgement (if I’ve done it myself, I’ve probably seen other clients do it)
- A cheerleader in your pocket
- And yes, you probably will get emojis and gifs in my messages because I’m professional, not a robot.

Sleep is intimate. You need someone you can actually talk to.

Let me know in the comments what you’d prefer: a human approach or a clinical one?

I have a confession to make…

My eldest daughter asked ChatGPT for sleep advice the other day.

Because apparently having a Mum that’s a Certified Sleep Practitioner isn’t enough? Kids really don’t want to listen to their parents do they!

Here is the thing about AI (and Google, and the chat in the school playground): It gives generic advice.

Yes, AI can tell you ‘average’ information. Bit AI doesn’t know that your child has reflux, or that you have high anxiety in the evenings or that your teenager is stressing about exams.

Our sleep is as unique as we are. Generic help isn’t always going to help specific problems.

I love tech (when it’s working anyway!), but AI won’t replace Sleep Coaches because an algorithm can’t hold your hand (virtually) when you’re struggling at bedtime.

Sorry ChatGPT, I’m winning this one.

I’m obviously not condoning drinking games (not least because alcohol messes with your sleep!)…but if you took a sip every time I say the word ‘consistency’ to the parents I work with…you might actually die of alcohol poisoning. 🫣

I know, I know. It’s the most boring word in the English language. It’s not sexy. It’s not a magic pill.

But here is the truth: Children crave predictability.

They keep pushing boundaries because they need to know where the edges are. If the boundary moves every night (sometimes you give in, sometimes you don’t), they will keep pushing to find it. That’s not them being ‘naughty’; that’s them being smart!

When you are consistent, they feel safe. When they feel safe, they sleep.

So yes, I will keep saying it. Cheers!

And yes, I KNOW consistency is hard!! I’m a Mum, I get it! But, I also know from personal and professional experience that it really DOES make it easier!

And as ever, there is never any judgement from me (but I will happily hold your hand and cheer you on from the sidelines while you do it!).

It’s a good job I’m better at helping people sleep than I am at figuring out the Instagram algorithm!… 😂

Honest post: I wear all the hats in this business. CEO, Marketing Department, Admin, tea maker and chief worrier.

Sometimes, the tech makes me want to throw my phone and laptop out the window.

But then I get to the actual work, the part where I help a family get their sanity back or help an adult stop dreading bedtime, and I remember why I do this.

I might not be able to make a trending transition video to save my life, but I can get your toddler to sleep through the night. I know which skill I’d rather have! 😉

Scary thought: There are only 4.5 weeks left until 2026. 📆

You have two choices right now:

1️⃣ Wait until January. Keep doing what you’re doing. Survive on caffeine and willpower. Hope that the “New Year, New Me” magic fairy fixes your sleep (Spoiler: she won’t).

OR

2️⃣ Do something about it now. Imagine waking up on New Year’s Day actually feeling rested?

I can help anyone, of any age, anywhere in the world (thank you, internet 🌍). Whether it’s your baby who thinks 3am is party time, or you staring at the ceiling with racing thoughts.

Don’t drag this exhaustion into another year. Check the link in my bio to book a chat or send me a DM to get the conversation started. Let’s sort this out.

If the engine management light came on in your car today, what would you do?

You’d probably ring the garage immediately. You wouldn’t drive it down the motorway hoping for the best.

You wouldn’t leave your phone uncharged overnight and expect it to work all day tomorrow.

So why are you trying to run your body on 4 hours of broken sleep and probably copious amounts of caffeine?

We are so good at looking after our ‘stuff’: our cars, our phones, our kids’ schedules. But we are terrible at looking after the machine that runs it all: Ourselves.

Make time for yourself. Prioritising your sleep isn’t selfish; it’s maintenance. And you can’t drive a car with a blown engine.

What’s one thing you’re doing for your sleep this weekend?
