What Is Sleep Coaching?

Sleep coaching is a personalized program designed to help you build better sleep habits. With expert guidance, you can fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling more refreshed.

BetterSleep coaches work with you one-on-one to address the root causes of your sleep issues. Prioritizing good sleep is an important form of self-care.

What Can Sleep Coaching Help With?

Sleep is essential; when we don’t get enough, we don't feel our best.

From trouble falling asleep to frequent waking, sleep struggles look different for everyone:

• Difficulty falling asleep – Tossing and turning, or racing thoughts.
• Frequent waking – Waking up multiple times throughout the night.
• Light or unrefreshing sleep – Feeling like you never reach deep sleep.

Over time, these challenges can lead to frustration, stress, and even reliance on sleep aids.

A BetterSleep coach can help you uncover what’s standing in the way of quality sleep. During personalized sessions, your coach will:

• Identify habits that impact your sleep, including your bedtime routine and daily stressors.
• Use proven techniques like motivational interviewing and SMART goal-setting to explore deeper sleep challenges.
• Help you develop a personalized plan for better sleep and long-term habits.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to sleep coaching. Your coach will work with you to create lasting sleep patterns for restful nights, long into the future.

How Does Sleep Coaching Improve Well-being?

Ever notice how you feel after a bad night’s sleep? Irritable, overwhelmed, and struggling to focus? Sleep problems don't just affect your nights–they spill into your days, leaving you stressed or exhausted.

Poor sleep can affect many areas of health.

• Mood and emotional balance – Increased irritability, anxiety, or lack of motivation.
• Cognitive function – Impaired focus, memory, and decision-making.
• Physical health – Weakened immune system and elevated stress levels.

Now, imagine the opposite: waking up refreshed, energized, and ready to take on the day. It’s like the feeling after a great workout or a peaceful walk in nature–calm, balanced, and mentally clear.

With busy schedules and daily stress, getting that kind of sleep isn’t always easy. That’s where BetterSleep coaching comes in. A sleep coach helps you identify areas for improvement and make small, sustainable changes that lead to long-term success.

Through a controlled study with the German Armed Forces, participants who worked on their sleep habits through coaching reported feeling more connected to self-care and experienced lower irritation levels.

Imagine going through your day with more energy and going to bed at night feeling calm instead of stressed. While results won’t happen overnight, sleep coaching can help you create lasting solutions for better rest–and a healthier, happier you.

Is Sleep Coaching the Same as Sleep Therapy?

Sleep coaching and sleep therapy are different, but they can complement each other.

BetterSleep coaches specialize in sleep habits, stress management, and wellness strategies. They act as accountability partners, guiding you toward better sleep. While coaching can support therapy, it is not a medical treatment. If you have a history of sleep disorders, consult a healthcare professional.

How Does Sleep Coaching Reduce Reliance on Sleep Aids?

According to research published in the SLEEP medical journal, sleep coaching may help reduce reliance on sleep aids, including medications and supplements.

A 12-week study of 93 sleep coaching clients found that:

• Participants followed a program that included education on circadian rhythms, sleep tracking, and app-based coaching.
• In just two weeks, sleep aid use dropped significantly.
• By week 12, 71.1% of participants had reduced or stopped using sleep aids—with the biggest drop in the first week.

This research highlights how better sleep habits can naturally lead to healthier, more sustainable sleep—without relying on sleep aids.
