We cut through the online ocean of advice': the rise of adult sleep coaching
"From the moment I got out of bed, virtually everything I did was tailored towards getting a good night's sleep the following night. Thorsten is not an insomniac and his disordered sleep patterns came out of nowhere. Every few weeks, I'd have inexplicable periods when I would wake up at 4.30am and couldn't get back to sleep, he said."
"I was getting so many adults asking me for sleep training that I realised there was a new and real need that was not being catered for, he said. I'd never seen people like this before: a cohort who had never struggled with sleep previously but were unable to help themselves, despite spending considerable time researching all tricks of the trade, as regards achieving consistent, quality sleep, he said."
Thorsten implemented extensive online sleep advice and structured daily routines yet developed sudden disordered sleep, waking at 4:30am and experiencing daytime mistakes, irritability, and health worries. A colleague suggested a sleep coach, revealing many adults now seek individual sleep consultants. Despite abundant online guidance and common sleep-hygiene rules, a group of previously good sleepers cannot fix new sleep problems. Consultants report clients are overwhelmed by conflicting information and require personalised, practical strategies to restore consistent, quality sleep and alleviate the negative daytime and long-term health effects.
