The One Day Workshop has been designed for Insomniacs who want to learn The Sleep School Approach in a single day. Workshops are ideal for those who live outside of London who cannot attend the highly effective Sleep School weeknight Courses.
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 Sleep School's Six Step Format.
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. 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.
