The Science of Sleep for Coaches and Trainers

The Science of Sleep for Coaches and Trainers

The Science of Sleep for Coaches and Trainers

You and your clients enjoy a good night’s sleep.

More exercise requires more (and better) sleep for optimal recovery.

And, when you want your brain to function at a higher level, you also need consistent deep and restorative sleep.

You know this to be true.  But, do you know exactly who to get scientific sleep to optimize your life (and the live’s of your clients?

Here are a few specific strategies for optimal sleep you may not know, or have considered:


1. Two hours before sleep, reduce your exposure to bright light.

This helps your pineal gland better release melatonin for better sleep.

2. Do not do an intense workout within 1-2 hours of going to bed.

This increases your core temperature. Your core temperature needs to lower a couple of degrees to reach the deepest levels of sleep.

3. Have a nightly ritual to program your body to fall asleep more easily.

It can include mediation, reading, prayer, visualization, a few gentle yoga poses or something similar.

4. Remove electronics from your sleep space, and don’t use your cell phone prior to sleep. 

Yes, this can be challenging in our modern world. However, many studies have shown that cell phone use prior to sleep, and electronics near you while you sleep can actually reduce the depth and quality of sleep.

5. Make your sleep space very dark. 

In general, the darker the room, the more it helps your sleep.  This is another reason to avoid falling asleep with the TV left on.

Of course, there are many other effective ways to improve your sleep.

Details about the above strategies (and much, much more) are what you learn in the Spencer Institute’s Sleep Science Coach Certification.  

Here’s a link for more details. 
https://spencerinstitute.com/certification-programs/sleep-science-coach-certification/

When you become a Certified Sleep Science Coach, you will learn how to help your clients dramatically enhance their metabolism, memory, creativity, immune function, hormone balance, hunger management, disease prevention, sports performance, accident avoidance, memory, reaction time, good judgement, surgery recovery, happiness and over 100 additional functions and behaviors.
Every client you will ever coach wants to improve their sleep.  They want more sleep.  Your clients desire greater recuperation or more consistency in their sleep routine. So, regardless of what type of coaching, training or consulting you already do as part of your business, becoming a Certified Sleep Science Coach will give you the tools, resources, knowledge and credential to help more people while you build a successful coaching practice.

Thank you,
The NESTA/Spencer Institute Team

PS: All coaches and trainers really need to have a much better understanding of sleep science.  And, earning this credential makes you far more qualified than those without this knowledge.

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.

Earning the Spencer Institute's Wellness Coach Certification was an excellent addition to existing education and experience. I now have a highly successful blog, healthy cooking business, cook books and much more. The sky is the limit.
