How Do I Become a Professional Sleep Trainer?

How Do I Become a Professional Sleep Trainer?

how-to-become-a-sleep-trainer

For many, getting a solid night’s sleep is as elusive as winning the lottery. Getting too little sleep is so common that it’s become almost a badge of honor to get through each day with sleep deprivation. Even if you feel like you can function on little sleep, it’s actually debilitating, if not dangerous, to a person’s health and mental faculties.

When you are deprived of sleep, you make it next to impossible to achieve your health and fitness goals. Lack of sleep can increase stress hormones in your body, and over time these can lead to inflammation and chronic diseases. Make sleep a priority to let your body heal and rejuvenate.

Sleeping well directly affects your clients’ mental and physical health. Fall short and it can take a serious toll on their daytime energy, productivity, emotional balance, and even weight.

Many of our clients are regularly tossing and turning at night, struggling to get the sleep they need. Getting a good night’s sleep may seem like an impossible goal when they are wide awake at 3 a.m., but they have much more control over the quality of sleep than they probably realize, and seeking the help of a Certified Sleep Science coach or trainer is becoming increasingly more important for many people around the world.

Improving Your Sleep Hygiene This Year

Improving Your Sleep Hygiene This Year

Do you struggle to have a good sleep when you go to bed at the end of the day? Do you keep staring at the ceiling fan while waiting for sleep to come and provide you an escape from the hustles of life? 

If you are looking for something to improve your sleep, “Sleep Hygiene” would be the perfect solution. Sleep hygiene might solve all your sleep-related issues without making you fall into the trap of side effects. 

Negative effects do not accompany sleep hygiene like they do while taking sleeping pills. So, the best option to deal with sleep-related problems is to follow sleep hygiene.

What is Sleep Hygiene?

Whatever accounts for providing good sleep comes under sleep hygiene. Not only does having a clean bedroom with soothing fragrance get counted in sleep hygiene, but the behavioral adaptations you do throughout the day are also important in sleep hygiene. 

Sleep hygiene also involves taking a healthy diet, having an uninterrupted and stable sleep schedule, getting into physical activities, and getting yourself into pre-bed fruitful habits like reading your favorite book.

Sleep hygiene helps you get back to the normal track of your sleep cycle by helping you feel good physically and mentally.  [Read more…]

Benefits of Using a Sleep Journal

September 2, 2021 by Liz Carter

Benefits of Using a Sleep Journal

Whether it’s not getting enough sleep, getting poor-quality sleep, or issues falling asleep, we’re undeniably a sleep-challenged nation.

While you might have heard the classic tips for promoting better sleep habits, like avoiding eating late at night, turning off your screens, and developing a nighttime routine, you’re probably not familiar with a tool commonly used by sleep science coaches and experts: a sleep journal. Just as it sounds, a sleep journal is a sleep log of your sleep-related behaviors and patterns. [Read more…]

Why What You Eat and Drink Affects Your Sleep Quality

Why What You Eat and Drink Affects Your Sleep Quality

When you eat and drink can affect your sleep, and how you sleep can impact how much and what you eat and drink. Meeting health-related goals like weight loss warrants attention to this interconnected relationship. Come explore the physiology so you can guide your clients thoroughly.

The body has many separate parts but ultimately (and ideally) works as a fluid system. Paying attention to the various components of human physiology helps all the parts work together fluidly; leading to more complete wellness.

How Sleep Affects Appetite

Sleep scientists have examined how a low night of sleep affects food choices by presenting study participants with a buffet of food the day after a full night’s sleep and after a low night of sleep. Food choices and caloric intake are recorded to determine the effect of sleep on appetite.

How Sleep Affects AppetiteHow Sleep Affects Appetite

Having an adequate, high-quality, restful sleep is an important part of adhering to healthy eating plans. Metabolic problems associated with overeating include high body mass index (BMI) and long-term health risks like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some types of cancer. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults aged 18-64 years should have sleep duration of 7-9 hours every day (Hirshkowitz, Whiton & Albert et al., 2015).

Sleep-related problems can affect how our bodies regulate food intake and can increase hunger and our appetite to eat more food.

Why is Sleep So Important for Your Health?

February 27, 2019 by Liz Carter

Why is Sleep So Important for Your Health?Did you know that sleep deprivation can also have profound consequences on your physical health? Poor sleep puts you at risk of serious medical conditions, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes and it shortens your life expectancy.

How much sleep do we need?

What matters is that you find out how much sleep you need and then try to achieve it. If you wake up tired and spend the day longing for a chance to have a nap, it’s likely that you’re not getting enough sleep.

A variety of factors can cause poor sleep, including health conditions such as sleep apnoea. But in most cases, it’s due to bad sleeping habits.

Student Success Stories

Becoming a Certified Life Strategies Coach at the Spencer Institute has been a great way for me to grow my coaching business. I really liked that I could work full time while learning life coaching on my own time schedule. Now I have coaching clients, and also attract more psychotherapy clients who choose me because I can offer coaching in addition to psychotherapy.
