The Sleep Fix

I teach people how to fall asleep easily and stay asleep using practical, evidence-based solutions

Anything that promises to make you fall asleep in under 5 minutes is probably BS. You're not supposed to fall asleep in under 5 minutes, that's usually a sign of sleep deprivation or a sleep disorder.

These are the 3 tools I lean on with my clients when nothing else works. Start small, stay consistent, and you’ll be surprised at how much can shift.

Which tool are you trying tonight? Let me know in the comments!

Like so many of our course clients, Paul had tried all the usual fixes—sleep hygiene, melatonin, new pillows.

Nothing worked.

Then he learned how to retrain his brain for sleep, not just tweak his routine.

Now he hasn’t had a single sleepless night in more than 700 days.

This isn’t about luck or lavender.

It’s about using tools that break the insomnia cycle and help sleep stick.

Learn more about the techniques that helped Paul in our free training "How to Get the Quality Sleep You Need Without Medication, Meditation, Quitting Caffeine, or Giving Up Screens".

Just comment "Training" and I"ll send it to you.

IYKYK!

They are well meaning, but definitely not always helpful.

Do you ever feel like you don't know whether you slept or not?

Or have you ever felt like you've gone days without sleeping?

This is usually due to sleep misperception or "paradoxical insomnia" in its more extreme form.

Save this post so you know what to do next time this happens!

You've probably heard of how important sleep is to your overall health, but did you know sleep can have a big impact on your gut health?

How well you sleep can affect how well your digestive system functions, and your digestive health can also play a role in how well you sleep. It’s a two-way street!

Follow for more practical, evidence-based sleep tips, and share this with someone who needs to hear it!

You with me? 😩

Here’s the thing. It’s normal to feel rundown sometimes — the not normal to feel like 💩 ALL the time.

You can only drive with the check engine light on for so long before things go wrong with your car (spoken from experience… 😳), same for operating on not enough sleep.

If you’re always tired that is not normal and it’s time to address that. You’ll be amazed how much better you feel once you do!

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are not a "bad sleeper."

While it's true that some people have predisposing factors to sleep problems, it doesn't mean you have to just accept a life of poor sleep - I'm living proof of that.

So even after you have a bad night, keep doing things that bring you joy!

But more importantly, focus on finding what's causing your sleep problems, so you can find the best evidence-based solutions to fix it.

What do you think's causing your sleep problems? Let me know in the comments.

Trouble falling asleep and don't know why?

Watch this video for good way to tell if your problem is a circadian rhythm issue aka. your body clock. 🕕

This might happen because of:

✈ travel (jet lag)

👨‍🏭 irregular work schedule

🐦you're an extreme morning person/early bird

🦉you're a night owl

Sound familiar? Comment if you relate 👇 and follow for more tips on how to tackle this problem.

Does it REALLY work?🤔

Mouth taping is a growing trend where people tape their mouths shut at bedtime (with a special kind of tape!) to promote nose breathing, potentially addressing snoring or bad breath issues.

BUT mouth taping also comes with potential side effects including breathing challenges and anxiety. These make it HARDER to sleep well!

So if you regulary have trouble falling asleep or falling back asleep, I would skip the mouth tape and address the underlying cause of your insomnia.

And if you're looking to address snoring or another breathing issue, consult your doctor before trying mouth tape and, more importantly, GET TESTED FOR SLEEP APNEA!

Tired on the couch but wide awake in bed?
You’re not crazy — and you’re definitely not alone.
Your brain has learned that the couch is where you relax and your bed... is where you stress.
This concept of "conditioned arousal" is one of the most common drivers of insomnia, yet most have never even heard of it.
And the solution isn’t melatonin, a new pillow, or “just relaxing.”
It’s retraining the brain.

Get that part right and the rest finally starts to work.

Caffeine not doing the trick anymore? Here's why 👇

If you have caffeine often enough (like every day) your body actually forms a tolerance to it, so you need more to feel that energy kick.

So be sure to take breaks from caffeine to keep that coffee magic alive, and if you feel like you need caffeine everyday to function, that's a good sign that it's time to address your sleep problems.
