Sleepyhead Clinic

Stephanie had an instant impact on my sleeping problems. As a student I started suffering from insomnia 3 years ago and I was quick to resort to what I thought were quick remedies...The programme completely altered my perceptions on sleep, gave me a greater understanding than I could have even believed there was, and as a result allowed me to regain control of my sleep.Every so often I do struggle to get to sleep, just like everyone else does from time to time. But I now have long term strategies and a routine to ensure this is simply an anomaly and not a continuous issue.Ultimately this has had a huge positive impact on my mental health, re-finding my motivation and drive and to not feel as if my sleep is a burden to me. Massive thanks once again, Stephanie!

Absolutely wonderful experience. I have had a pretty nasty sleep issue for 9 years. I have consulted sleep clinicians and doctors etc to help me to deal with this problem, and nothing has really stuck.I then signed on for the Sleepyhead Clinic Programme with Stephanie. From the get go I made improvements. Once I understand a process and why I need to do things in a certain way, I then become committed. Stephanie took the time to explain why the steps where necessary and once I understood them I was on-board.My sleep over the 5 week programme dramatically improved and is still good. I needed someone not to let me off the hook, (I can be a really tricky client and have often talked experts in to letting me do what I want to do, not what I should do!!). Stephanie kept me on the programme and didn't let me stray from it.I can’t recommend Stephanie and the Sleepyhead Clinic enough. Also Emma in the Sleepyhead office is lovely.

I have had an absolute nightmare with chronic insomnia over the last few years. Steph Romiszewski who runs the Sleepyhead Clinic has been my sleep angel!In just 4 sessions over a few months my sleep has been transformed and with it my life. That may sound a little dramatic but it really is the truth!Steph is incredibly warm, approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate about her subject.If you have trouble sleeping it will be the best money you will ever spend.

The life changing concept from Sleepyhead Clinic is:Get up at the same time every day 365 days of the year.[That's regardless of how the previous night's sleep went.]Along with Helen, a colleague of Stephanie (as part of a Sleepyhead program), we've established my 'get up' time. [incl Sat/Sun and holidays].5 weeks into the program - do I get 8 hours sleep every night? NO, and no longer do I expect to.The hours of sleep that I do get are much better quality (and hence much more restorative) because I've been educated in the realities of sleep.Do I get more hours sleep than before YES.Is that it? Is that all they have to offer?Absolutely not, here's the 'magic' of education about sleep:I've been taught so much about what to do with the hours I am awake - of which there are two categories:- hours before 6am when I could be asleep yet am awake- hours between 6am and 11pm when it's been established I should be awake (no more going to bed at 9.30pm for me and no napping!)I cannot thank Helen and Stephanie enough for the above - it's genuinely life changing

I had a 6 session sleep course with Stephanie via Skype and, not to be melodramatic, but it has changed my life. I have struggled with insomnia since I was a child and had given up on ever sleeping normally, but after a lot of very hard work with Stephanie's guidance and support I can now get to sleep in under 15 minutes regularly and stay asleep.Probably the biggest thing for me is that I'm no longer afraid of bedtime. It sounds ridiculous, but before I knew I needed sleep but my insomnia was so bad I didn't associated going to bed with getting the rest I needed, so didn't want to go. Now, I know I'll fall asleep and get rest, and hey, even if I don't it'll be a one-off and mean I'm all the more likely to sleep well the next night.I cannot recommend the sleep course enough if you struggle with insomnia. It turns out it can be fixed and you can learn how to sleep properly.It's hard work, but so worth it.

Back in February of this year, I started the Stephanie’s DIY online course to see if I could fix my sleep problems. I’ve had problems with my sleep for the last 15 years or so – it comes and goes but last year it was lasting longer and longer until I felt like I wasn’t sleeping at all. And when I am having problems I find I can’t get to sleep and I’ll be awake til 2 in the morning trying. With a 6.30am alarm, I was getting somewhere between 4 and 5 hours sleep a night.I was tired all the time, and felt irritable and easily annoyed with people. And it wasn’t their fault, I was just so intensely tired that I was reacting in ways I didn’t when I wasn’t tired.I was miserable too, and lonely. Sleep problems can be really isolating. And at 2am it really feels like you are the only person on the planet who isn’t asleep.I tried so many things – calming teas, cutting out caffeine, warm baths, sleep masks. None of it worked, so I decided to do the course. I was sceptical about it at first, considering its online. I wasn’t sure how an online course could fix my sleep problems. But I was so surprised and delighted with the results. It is hard work, because you have to take responsibility and put in the effort to make it work (although I suppose you’d have to do that with a face to face course anyway!). And the course is tough, and some of it is counter-intuitive. But Stephanie’s support through the videos is great, and I really felt like she understood what I was going through, and I no longer felt alone in my problem. She clearly explained what to expect, and how I could get the most out of the course.Since doing the course, I am now regularly getting seven hours of sleep a night. Which for me, is incredible. I’m waking up refreshed and I’m more energetic. I feel happier, and I’m not as easily annoyed. I still do sometimes take longer to get to sleep, or sleep in. But more often than not, that’s my choice, and it’s what most people with a normal sleep pattern do.I can’t recommend Stephanie's DIY online course enough – as someone who has really struggled with sleeping, it’s been life-changing. It’s so worth the effort, and you won’t regret it!

Helped me approach sleep in a whole new way as well as providing a fascinating insight into the science of sleep. Highly recommended.

I have had insomnia since I was about 14, sometimes I would go through severe bouts where I thought I had only slept for 1 or two hours a night. I have tried all the supplements , loads of different rituals and would take Zopiclone frequently, my sleep schedule was also really erratic, I would sleep really late on the weekends as some sleep at the wrong time I felt was better than none.I finished my 8 week course today and have slept better the last 8 weeks than I have since I was 14, the sleep restriction part is very hard but astoundingly effective, within 3 weeks I found myself looking forward to bed rather than fearing it and some nights have fallen asleep in under 5 minutes. My mindset is also completely different, I no longer worry or obsess about sleep, in fact I barely think about it all any more in the day. I have also become a morning person which I have always wanted to be, and for the past couple of weeks I havent taken any tablets.In the future I feel confident that if sleep does ever become consistently poor again I have loads of strategies to overcome it so it's not something that concerns me.Stephanie is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and supportive and clearly loves doing something so important. Sleeping well I feel I can take on the world, or at least a reasonable stretch of it. Sleep i have discovered is very moreish, I highly recommend it!

I had never been a good sleeper and my difficulties sleeping had always been a source of stress in itself. Having done the course with Stephanie earlier this year I can genuinely say it has transformed my sleep. It is based on uptodate science, is informative and practical. It completely demystifies sleep (I had many misconceptions about it) and helps you rebuild good and healthy sleep attitude and patterns. It did get hard but it was worth every minute of it. I used to take sleeping pills regularly but now would never even think of it. There really is a better way.

Have suffered increasingly with broken sleep , I accessed the sleepyhead clinic. The first few weeks were challenging but the results are worth it. I now have techniques that I can go back to if needed to ensure that I sleep well. It has made a huge difference thankyou .
