Workshops
In Brief. . .
What: One day classes (10am - 5pm)
Where: Lumen URC, 88 Tavistock Place, WC1H 9RS, London
The Sleep School workshops have been developed as environments to learn both about sleep and yourself in order to help you ultimately find regular good quality sleep once again. Learning is done best when in a stimulating environment with like minded others and we hope it will be a place where you will learn to free yourself from the rules and rituals that have kept you stuck in your insomnia. The day involves a mix of lectures, discussion and practical exercises with Dr. Guy Meadows and is broken down into the following format.
The Workshop Format
The Sleep School's Approach is based on a comprehensive six step format that is focussed on towards getting you back to sleeping well again:
Step 1. The Struggle
Understanding the vicious cycle of insomnia and how we plan to help you escape. Highlight how the struggle to get a good nights sleep can often be the perpetuating factor for poor sleep. Introduce The Sleep School approach & concept of acceptance and commitment and why it can be so helpful for achieving a sound nights sleep and living a rich and meaningful life.
Outcome: Learn to let go of all of the unnecessary clutter attached to sleep & begin to regain your life.
Step 2. Healthy Sleep Guidelines
Debunk the myths about sleep and understand exactly what good sleepers do to sleep. Understand the basics of sleep physiology and how to achieve a normal sleep wake cycle in everyday life.
Outcome: Guidelines to start implementing to improve sleep quality and quantity.
Step 3. Being Present
Introduction to mindfulness and practise. Learn to recognise that the only time that exists is now and how to objectively notice and let go of struggling with the content of ones mind during the day & night.
Outcome: Mindfulness exercises to practise everyday.
Step 4. Thoughts and Feelings
Learn to recognise unhelpful thoughts that keep you awake and how to let go of struggling with them. Learn how to welcome and embrace unwanted sensations associated with not sleeping such as anxiety and/or and racing heart.
Outcome: Everyday tools to start playing with your demons.
Step 5. Living a Valued Life
Recognise how the struggle to sleep can push you further away from what is important to you in life. Learn to identify what type of sleeper you would like to become and the life you would like to live.
Outcome: Short, mid and long term goals to gently move you towards good sleep and an a better life.
Step 6. Preparation for the future
Prepare for return to normal life and set goals to achieve good quality sleep on a regular basis. Identify potential barriers for good sleep and development of actions to get round them.
Outcome: A Sleep School plan to implement for when your life journey becomes bumpy.
Sharing Personal Details - What to expect at one of our classes
You will not be forced to share your personal or private details with anyone as you are the only person who needs to know them. We use a gentle and playful approach to overcoming your insomnia that is free of unnecessary rules and rituals and is always centred on living a rich and meaningful life. We use acceptance and compassion at the heart of everything we do because control is not needed for sleep.
Who are the Workshops for?
Our workshops are for anyone who struggles to get to sleep, maintain sleep, wakes up too early or simply does not sleep at all. Anyone who never feels refreshed after sleep or just can’t sleep on a Sunday night. Any one who can’t stop their mind racing, fears going to bed or has become reliant on pills and props to sleep. Our sessions attract a wide mix of people from all backgrounds, ages and ethnicity's including busy professionals, shift workers, pre-pregnancy parents, new mums and dads, menopausal women, students, retirees, medical professionals, as well as anyone with a sleep disturbing medical condition such as tinnitus, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, ME, depression and anxiety.
