Ever found yourself lying in bed thinking, ‘I NEED to fall asleep. NOW!’? 😩

The trouble is, sleep doesn’t work like that.

Unlike most things in life, the harder you try, the more difficult it can become.

When we put pressure on ourselves to fall asleep, we can end up feeling frustrated, anxious and increasingly alert. Which is pretty much the opposite of what we want!

So, what can you do instead?

💙 Stop trying to MAKE sleep happen.

💙 If you’ve been lying awake getting frustrated, try getting out of bed and doing something relaxing until you feel sleepy again.

💙 Remind yourself that being awake for a while isn’t a disaster. You don’t have to sleep perfectly every night.

Sleep is a natural process, not something you can force.

And sometimes, taking the pressure off is one of the most helpful things you can do.

Same child. Two homes. Different bedtime routines.

Do they need to be exactly the same?

Not necessarily.

When children split their time between two homes, parents can understandably worry that different bedtimes, routines or sleep expectations are going to cause problems.

But children are actually pretty good at learning that different places have different rules.

They already do it at school, at grandparents’ houses, at clubs and with different caregivers.

Sleep doesn’t suddenly fall apart because Dad does stories in bed while Mum does them on the sofa, or because bedtime is 8pm in one house and 8.30pm in the other.

What matters more is that each home has a routine that’s predictable enough for that child to know what’s coming, and that they’re getting the sleep they need overall.

If there is a sleep problem, then some consistency between homes can absolutely help, and it’s worth looking at what’s happening in both places.

But if your child sleeps well in both homes?

You don’t need matching bedtime SOPs and a co-parenting sleep summit.

Different doesn’t automatically mean wrong. ❤️

Being tired doesn’t always mean you need more sleep.

Sometimes, it might.

But feeling tired can also be influenced by stress, boredom, illness, hormones, what you’ve eaten, how much you’ve moved, your mood, or simply the natural dips in alertness we all experience across the day.

And this matters because when we start treating every tired feeling as evidence that we’re ‘not getting enough sleep’, it’s very easy to become preoccupied with fixing it.

Going to bed earlier.
Sleeping in.
Cancelling plans.
Trying harder to get the ‘perfect’ eight hours.

For some people, particularly those already worrying about their sleep, that can actually make things worse.

So if you have a tired day after a less-than-perfect night’s sleep, you don’t necessarily need to fix anything.

You might just be… tired.

And humans are allowed to be tired sometimes. ❤️

You are allowed to stay up late because you’re having fun.

Yes. A sleep practitioner just said that. 😂

I talk a LOT about consistency.

Keeping a fairly regular sleep and wake time helps keep your body clock on track, and huge differences between weekdays and weekends can leave you with a lovely dose of social jet lag.

But…

Sometimes you’re out with friends.

Sometimes you’re at a wedding.

Sometimes the film hasn’t finished.

Sometimes you’re drinking w**e and putting the world to rights.

Sometimes you’re just having a really bloody lovely evening and you don’t want to go to bed yet.

That’s allowed.

Good sleep isn’t about following a perfect set of rules every single night.

It’s about having good habits most of the time, so that the occasional late night is exactly that: an occasional late night.

Have the night out. Stay for another drink. Finish the film. Dance until your feet hurt.

Then get back to your usual routine afterwards (and if possible wake up around about when you usually would - within reason!

Because your sleep habits should support you in having a life.

They shouldn’t become the reason you stop living it. 💛

Want to sleep better tonight?

Don’t wait until bedtime to think about it.

Some of the things that help regulate tonight’s sleep happen much earlier in the day.

Get some daylight.
Morning light helps tell your body clock that the day has started, which helps regulate when you’ll feel sleepy later.

Keep your wake-up time fairly consistent.
Yes, I’m banging this drum again. 😂 A regular wake time is one of the best ways to keep your circadian rhythm anchored and reduce social jet lag.

Move your body.
It doesn’t need to be a brutal workout. Walking, training, gardening, dancing around the kitchen… regular physical activity can support better sleep.

Think about your caffeine timing.
You don’t necessarily need to give it up, but if sleep is troublesome, that 4pm coffee might be worth reconsidering.

And then?

Get on with your day.

You don’t need to spend all day trying to engineer the perfect night’s sleep.

Give your body the right signals, build enough sleep pressure, and let it do what it’s designed to do.

Good sleep doesn’t start with the perfect bedtime routine. 💛

Apparently being a single sleep practitioner has completely ruined dating apps for me. 😂

Normal person scrolling:

‘Nice smile.’
‘Looks fun.’
‘He likes travelling.’

Me:

‘Large neck circumference… noted. 👀’
‘Looks knackered in every photo.’
‘Functions brilliantly on five hours’ sleep? No you don’t, Tom.’
‘Night owl? Absolutely not. I’m voluntarily conscious at 6.30am.’
‘Oh, an early riser! Likes the gym! This could actually…’

‘My mates say I could snore for England.’

FFS. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

In my defence, once you’ve spent years asking people about their sleep, it’s apparently quite difficult to switch that part of your brain off.

And yes, I know you cannot diagnose obstructive sleep apnoea from a dating profile!! But loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness and certain physical characteristics can all be things that make us ask a few more questions. First date to remember?… 🤷🏼‍♀️

So apparently my dating criteria now include:

Kind.
Funny.
Good human.
And preferably an airway I don’t feel professionally compelled to investigate.

Romance is alive and well over here. 😂

Small serious addendum: I’m absolutely not being flippant about obstructive sleep apnoea. OSA can have significant consequences for health and wellbeing and deserves to be taken seriously. I’m just using a bit of humour to highlight some of the signs we look out for… while simultaneously taking the p**s out of the fact that apparently I can’t even browse a dating app without my sleep-practitioner brain joining in. 😂

You do not need to sleep well every night.

In fact, expecting yourself to can sometimes become part of the problem.

We all have rubbish nights occasionally. Stress, hormones, children, noise, illness, excitement, absolutely no discernible bloody reason whatsoever… sleep naturally varies.

The difference is often what happens next.

One bad night becomes:

‘I NEED to sleep well tonight.’

‘I won’t cope tomorrow if I don’t.’

‘Why am I still awake?’

‘How many hours have I got left now?’

And suddenly sleep has become something you’re monitoring, measuring and trying really bloody hard to achieve.

Unfortunately, sleep doesn’t respond particularly well to effort.

So after a bad night, try not to compensate for it too much. Get up around your usual time, get some daylight, carry on with your day as normally as you reasonably can, and allow your body’s natural sleep drive to do its job.

A bad night’s sleep is just that: a bad night’s sleep.

It doesn’t mean tonight will be the same.

And sometimes one of the most useful things we can do for our sleep is stop treating every bad night like an emergency.

25/09/2026

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you’ll know I bang on about keeping a fairly consistent wake-up time.

And I’m not about to change my mind. 😂

Your wake-up time is one of the strongest anchors for your circadian rhythm. If you’re up at 6.30am all week, but regularly sleeping until 10.30am at the weekend, you’re effectively shifting your body clock back and forth.

Hello, social jet lag. 👋

But ‘consistent’ doesn’t have to mean setting an alarm for exactly 6.30am, 365 days a year, regardless of what you did the night before.

Had a late night? Had a rubbish night’s sleep? It’s the weekend and you don’t need to leap out of bed at dawn?

An extra hour isn’t going to undo all your good sleep habits.

What we’re trying to avoid is a pattern of dramatically different sleep and wake times between weekdays and weekends.

Think fairly consistent, not obsessively perfect.

Because good sleep habits should support your life, not stop you having one.

This is why I love my job. ❤️

When I first spoke to this client, she told me she hadn’t slept well for around 2½ years.

She estimated that most nights she was getting somewhere between 2 and 5 hours’ sleep.

We had our consultation. We worked through what was happening, what might be keeping the problem going, and made a plan specifically for her.

Night one: 7 hours’ sleep.

And this was the message I woke up to after night two. 👆

My favourite bit?

‘I usually drag my arse through the day like an extra from The Walking Dead… I’m guessing it’s how normal folks feel?’ 😂❤️

Now, does everyone suddenly sleep brilliantly after one consultation? No.

Sleep doesn’t work like that. There can be ups, downs and decidedly less exciting nights along the way.

But this is exactly why I do what I do.

Because when someone has struggled for years, it’s very easy to start believing that you’re simply a ‘bad sleeper’ and this is just how life is now.

Sometimes it isn’t.

Sometimes we need to stop throwing generic sleep tips at the problem and actually work out what’s keeping your sleep problem going.

And sometimes I get messages like this two mornings later.

This is why I bloody love my job. ❤️

Confession time.

I’m a sleep practitioner and…

☕ I drink coffee.

📱 Sometimes I scroll on my phone in bed.

🍷 I drink w**e.

🌙 Occasionally I stay up far later than I probably should.

😴 I don’t get exactly eight hours of sleep every night.

And sometimes…

I have a rubbish night’s sleep.

I know. Someone revoke my sleep practitioner certificate immediately. 😂

But here’s the thing.

Knowing how sleep works doesn’t mean I spend my life trying to achieve Perfect Sleep.

Because I actually think we’ve made sleep far too complicated.

Don’t drink coffee.
Don’t look at a screen.
Never lie in.
Never stay up late.
Get exactly eight hours.
Have the perfect morning routine.
Have the perfect bedtime routine.
Buy this supplement.
Track this metric.

Bloody hell.

For some people, worrying about doing everything ‘right’ can become part of the problem.

Sleep is important. Of course it is.

But so are dinners with friends. Holidays. Late-night conversations. A glass of w**e if you fancy one. Watching one more episode because it’s bloody good. And occasionally doing something that tomorrow-you might consider a questionable decision. 😂

Your life doesn’t exist to serve your sleep.

Good sleep should help you live your life.

And when I work with someone, I’m not trying to turn them into a Perfect Sleeper who follows 427 rules.

I’m trying to understand their sleep, their life and what’s actually getting in the way.

Then we work out what changes are worth making.

Because there’s a very big difference between knowing what can affect sleep…

and being frightened to live your life in case you ‘ruin’ it.

Sleep matters. But so does living.
