I'm Melanie.  I'm founder of Headrest and my mission is

to help people keep calm and sleep.

 

​​​Do you wake feeling annoyed, tired and disorientated? 

Yet another night with no decent sleep – feeling heavy and

achy in your bones and joints, and slow in your brain and

body.  You hear those familiar thoughts ‘I’ll have to sleep

well tonight, I didn’t play it right yesterday, I shouldn’t have....’

 

Your thoughts continue ‘My day’s going to be rubbish – my plans for today probably won’t happen.  My productivity’s gone out the window, and I’ll be going round and round in circles all day.  I’ll resort to my Plan B – and pick and choose what’s easy to do.  I’ll rejig my morning to be slow, and maybe go on a gentle walk with the dog.’

​

You remind self to be kind with your thoughts, to be careful not to get grumpy or make anyone wrong (like your husband).  You plan to stop any activity once annoyed or grouchy, ‘pushing through’ or trying (in vain) to get more done.  You decide to stop catastrophising about your body’s aches and pains, and look for more food to graze on in the kitchen.

 

You wish you could wave a magic wand, dial back time, and just get on with it.  You want to make it right again, get back to your routine, and get stuff done.  You hope the next day will be back to normal, and you’ll wake up after 7 hours solid sleep, fully refreshed.

 

You find you sometimes revert to old habits on a bad day, thinking ‘I haven’t got time for that!’  You know what you should be doing, how to take care of yourself, but you don’t do it!   You make mistakes, then fall in a cycle of trying harder and getting it wrong even more. You don’t actually get any more done at all, and feel tired, disappointed and frustrated.

 

I’ll help you sleep 7 hours a night, and wake up feeling replenished, energised and excited about the day.  There are a few ingredients to mix on the way to consistently good sleep;

​​​

• Learning speedy relaxation techniques for different times and different situations, so you can easily switch from a state of stress to a state of calm.

• Consistently practising these relaxation techniques, so your default calm state becomes calmer over time.

• Using light, food and movement to reset your sleep cycle.

• Tweaking your environment to support your sleep.

​

You may have some of these in place, others not.  Together, we’ll find the most impactful steps you can take straight away, so you feel the benefits of improved sleep within a few days.  Your awareness will grow as we progress. ​

​

The coaching is individual, we work with your lifestyle to build a plan that feels right and aligned for you.  I help you create and show up for a sleep plan that will work for you and ripple out to those around you.  Changing routines and habits can be difficult on your own!

 

​​We meet weekly online and troubleshoot everything that’s standing between you and your sleep.
