The Course - In Detail. . .

The Sleep School Course delivers the same content as would be experienced in one of Dr Meadows 4 Session one-to-one clinic plan but at a more affordable price.

The course is broken down into three two-hour sessions over three consecutive weeknights. Each 3-week course has a maximum of 15 attendees. The week space between each evening course segment gives attendees time to practice The Sleep School’s tools and techniques and to come back to Dr Guy Meadows for guidance or answers to any questions they may have. Each evening course involves a mix of presentation, discussion and practical exercises with Dr. Guy Meadows and is broken down into the Sleep School's Six Step Format.

Who are the Courses for?

The Sleep School Courses have been developed to help Insomniacs within and around the London area find regular good quality sleep once again. They are designed to help 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. Whether you have had your insomnia for 4 weeks or 40 years we can help.

What you will learn

You will learn why your insomnia started and how your actions right now might be keeping it fuelled. You will learn the truth about sleep and all of the unhelpful myths that surround it. You will learn tools to calm your racing mind and give you the mental clarity to let go of the reoccurring stories in your head that tell you that won’t sleep, the anxious sensations that keep you awake at night and the urges that drive you keep taking pills or potions.

What you will NOT learn

We promise NOT to tell you to drink warm milk before going to bed (unless you want to!) or that you need to get out of bed in the middle of night and do something boring! You won’t have to delve into your past or give your life story to complete strangers. Just turn up and be ready to learn and start living your life again.

What you will leave with

You will leave with a copy of The Sleep School's work book detailing everything that we discuss during the day and a clear explanation of what you need to do to start sleeping naturally once more.

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.

London (UK) Courses Written Testimonials

I would totally recommend Dr Guy and The Sleep School to anyone who has wrestled with the insomnia. He’s professional and obviously an expert, however his techniques are both easy to understand and if you persevere I believe they will be long-lasting. After 13 years of experiencing insomnia on and off, I feel much better at dealing with my insomnia and thus my relationship to it has vastly improved.
Suzie (Australia)

I found the experience of Skypeing the clinic was beneficial and extremely timely. I felt that I had fallen into an abyss of insomnia, it was the main theme of my life for a while and affected every aspect of my life. It was like a rope ladder being thrown down a long dried out well, initially something to cling on to, then something I could use myself to extricate myself from the well. It feels like it will always be in place now, so even if I fall down that bloody well again, deep in my brain I know there is a ladder there. Your explanation of a response in the mid brain, a new response that is strengthened each time that it is activated went straight into my subconscious and has stayed there, it feels exactly the right description for my experience of insomnia. This recognition has been key to lessening its grip on me, something that feels understood is much less threatening. I have recommended The Sleep School highly to others and will continue to do so.
Joanna Mack (UK)

I would like to recommend Dr Meadows as he has provided excellent help and therapy techniques to help with relaxation and anxiety relief that lead to better sleep. This was done over the phone as I live in Munich and could not make it to London to see him, never the less I found it very effective.
Haroon Khan (Germany)

Periods of severe insomnia had been blighting my life for the past few years before I contacted The Sleep School. I had tried every alternative remedy and was reduced to taking sleeping pills in order to fall asleep every night. My bed had become a battleground - and the insomnia was affecting my work, relationships and entire outlook on life. Contacting Dr Guy Meadows was a last ditch attempt to find a solution. Nonetheless, I had already resigned myself to the fact that insomnia was something I could only hope to learn to live with. I could never have imagined that Dr Meadows’ plan might have worked so well as it did! The beauty of his course (conducted by telephone at a distance) was also in its simplicity - teaching the body to remember it’s most natural of abilities - that of sleep - through a number of very elementary steps. At the same time, the course worked to eliminate the fear (and therefore the source) of not sleeping. For the first time in many years, sleep has become a pleasure again - something I can achieve easily and naturally, without fear or medication. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Meadows’ course for anyone for whom insomnia is starting to have a negative impact on their lives. I myself am hugely grateful to Dr Meadows.
Sophie (Italy)

Thanks to Dr. Guy Meadows I recovered my enthusiasm for life. I even feel completely revived. Due to my insomnia I lost my job and my relationships got damaged, I thought I had lost everything worth in life; even though it took a while to notice some changes in my sleep patterns,once I started to accept my condition and started living my life again, my sleep started to improve gradually. Today I sleep 7-8 hours per night, I'm not afraid of going to bed and want to live my life fully. Thanks for enriching my life!
