Happiness consists of getting enough sleep

Living with insomnia can be a challenge. The purpose of sleep is to rest and recover – and to allow the body to repair itself. Scientists now believe that poor sleep can have a direct effect on digestive health. Fortunately, effective treatments are available that can help us fall asleep faster, stay asleep, and feel more rested during the day.​ Personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes are available – based on science and designed for you.

​​​​​​​​Sleep Therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I or CBTI) is a short, structured, and evidence-based approach to combating the frustrating symptoms of insomnia.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
One component of CBTI is behavioural interventions these are: ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
- Relaxation training for example meditation with use of breath work. Why not pop on a guided meditation (meditation mountain on Spotify is great) with diffusing our signature night scent and drift off to sleep with the night light (turns off automatically). ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
- Stimulus control: reclaiming the bedroom as a place for restful sleep, no TV!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
- Sleep restriction: help to establish healthy sleep habits by calculating the total time spent asleep on a typical night using a sleep diary. Time in bed is then adjusted to reflect this amount, plus 30 minutes.​​​​​​​​
