READ: From depending on sleep tablets to a great, natural sleep

Steve's sleep problem in brief:
+ Broken and disturbed sleep
+ Waking for the day from 3 or 4am
+ Felt reliant and stuck on sleeping tablets
+ Fear of going to bed
+  +Significant effect on everyday functioning

Steve developed sleep problems when he was dealing with an anxiety provoking health situation. His health situation improved but his sleep did not. He then struggled for over a year with the effects of sleep deprivation and dreading going to bed. He had just sought help when the Covid 19 pandemic took hold and saw us going into lockdown.

 IN THEIR WORDS:

Q: Describe how things were for you before working with Emma  (e.g.how much sleep you were getting, what was concerning you, how you were feeling  etc). 

I felt like a weight was lifted off me as soon as I had my first session with you. The reliance of tablets has been taken away from me completely now.

I have a flexible evening routine now, I listen to your recording if I need it but I haven't for a long time. I am much more relaxed in my approach to sleep, I don't go to bed and worry about it, if i wake up I don't fret about it and i am able to turn over and go back to sleep.  And all this during the Covid-19 crisis and the associated stress.

I have got my days back, I feel more relaxed and we can make plans again. I am now getting anywhere between 6.5 - 8 hours sleep a night, every night. I even had a lie in yesterday morning. It has made the world of difference.

Q: If you could go back and give yourself a piece of advice or support when you were  struggling, what would it be?

Q: Any other comments?

It has always been done at a pace to suit me. The last few sessions have just been to support me coming off the sleeping tablets. I really didn't think I would be able to work online but it has been really good. 

Q: Are there any other comments you would like to make (eg how you found the programme  experience as a whole)? 

No other comments but another big thank you.

A Note From Emma:

Steve was feeling very stuck and cynical when he first decided to work on improving his sleep. He needed some reassurance about what was going wrong with his sleep in order to be able to see a way forward. It was also important to remind him to trust the process as he was still stuck on how he would be able to come off the tablets. Trusting the process and taking one step at a time is what allowed him to overcome the problem and get the good quality, natural sleep he wanted and subsequently get his quality of life back.
