Restful Sleep

Most of my sleep work happens in a place most people don't know exists yet: Night School.

It's a community for anyone who's tired of the standard sleep advice, the ones that treat you like a discipline problem instead of a nervous system. We do sleep health deep dives, dance and meditation mornings, dream circles, and real conversations about what's actually keeping people up at night.

If you've ever felt like you've tried everything and nothing sticks, this is probably a better fit than another article telling you to put your phone away.

Why working on remembering how DOPE you are can actually improve your sleep ➡️

“Dopeness” = confidence, liking oneself with zest

A very common thread amongst a lot of the people that I work with on their sleep health is that they have, somewhere down the line, lost their sense of how actually cool they are.
How much they have to offer.
How intelligent and strong their bodies are.
How much joy and pleasure is available to them, if they actually take a look.

And remembering one’s dopeness comes in many different forms. But I, as a somatic practitioner and movement teacher alongside my role as a Sleep Coach, have found that people tend to quickly remember their brightness when they engage with dance, with moments of stillness, with practices that make them feel strong.

So I often incorporate these practices as a supplement to the Sleep Coaching that we do.
And slowly, but surely, confidence and joy start to become a part of their landscape again. This, in turn, creates a cascade of feel-good neurochemicals that supports the onset of consistently healthy and good quality sleep.

As a summer gift, I’m offering these dopeness- inducing and sleep-supportive practices during the entire month of August for free.
Dance and meditation mornings.
Movement classes.
Dream Circles.

All for free on my learning platform.
See the details in the comments below.

I had a client with 17 white noise settings and zero sleep

True story. First session, the man had a weighted blanket the size of a small car, blue light glasses, a supplement I had to Google, and a noise machine offering "forest creek at dusk" as an actual menu option. Still wide awake at 2 am doing sleep math.
Nothing on that list was a bad idea. None of it was the actual problem either.

If the thing keeping you up isn't outside you, buying more outside stuff won't fix it. That's basically the whole premise behind the 7-Night Reset, which is now live.

Seven nights, one short video each night, filmed in my home, no studio, no fluff. One small shift a night: an anchor, a body practice, a myth we bust, a nervous system reset, and a question that has nothing to do with sleep hygiene at all.

➡️It won't fix your sleep in a week. It will give your nervous system a different experience of itself, which is the part that actually sticks.⬅️

€30, self-paced, yours forever (redo it anytime 2 am starts doing math on you too).

Any (almost helpful) sleep gadgets you've purchased recently?

You're wiped out by 9 pm. You know you need sleep. And somehow it's 1 am and you're still scrolling through nothing, fully aware tomorrow is going to be rough.

It's not the phone's fault. It's not that you lack discipline. It's that your day took more than it gave back, and by the time you're finally alone, some part of you refuses to hand over the only hour that felt like yours.

I wrote a full piece on why this happens and what to actually do about it, based on real research and a conversation I had with people about their own version of this exact pattern.
