Mindful Sleep Therapy

“I found the experience of Skypeing the clinic was beneficial and extremely timely. I felt that I had fallen into an abyss of insomnia, it was the main theme of my life for a while and affected every aspect of my life. It was like a rope ladder being thrown down a long dried out well, initially something to cling on to, then something I could use myself to extricate myself from the well. It feels like it will always be in place now, so even if I fall down that bloody well again, deep in my brain I know there is a ladder there.

Your explanation of a response in the mid brain, a new response that is strengthened each time that it is activated went straight into my subconscious and has stayed there, it feels exactly the right description for my experience of insomnia. This recognition has been key to  lessening its grip on me, something that feels understood is much less threatening. I have recommended the London Insomnia Clinic highly to others and will continue to do so.” Joanna Mack (UK)

“I have suffered with Insomnia on and off for several years, this time being the worst. I felt that it had totaly took over my life which left me feeling exhausted, emotional and with very low concentration. I had tried everything from herbal remedies to accupunture and was also refered by my GP to the Royal London but was left feeling dissapointed and desperate. I then searched the internet looking for help myself when i found Dr Guy Meadows at the London Insomnia Clinic. Guy has given me my life back, I no longer dread going to bed anymore and there maybe nights when I dont sleep so good but rather than fight them Guy has taught me how to accept them. I can not thank you enough and would not hesitate to recommend you.” Karen (London)

The next one day Mindful Sleep Therapy workshop is to be held on Saturday 14th May in London W9. To book your place or for more information please go to the “one day workshops” page on this blog.

Thank you,

“Guy’s approach was for me to really try and understand how my insomnia was feeding on itself - once I fully understood that I was encouraged to observe my self when the ‘demons’ cut in and from that moment they started to fade. I have tried many other traditional approaches and drugs which did not work.  Guy’s approach is kind and sensitive as well as being completely holistic and it worked for me!” Chris Finnley (London)

“I would totally recommend Dr Guy and the London Insomnia Clinic to anyone who has wrestled with the insomnia. He’s professional and obviously an expert, however his techniques are both easy to understand and if you persevere I believe they will be long-lasting.  After 13 years of experiencing insomnia on and off, I feel much better at dealing with my insomnia and thus my relationship to it has vastly improved.” Suzie (Austrailia)

“This programme has changed my life in a very big way. I am a much happier person and I feel so much better after 10 years of not sleeping very well.  I look at life in a much better way now. I used to just get though the day and dread going to bed, whereas now I don’t worry about it or think too much about not being able to sleep, as it now seems to just happen. Thank you very much for giving me my life back.” Jenny (Herts)

Thank you for your help - my sleeping has improved drastically thanks to my new ability to clear my mind and control my reaction to insomnia and to the thoughts that attack me in those moments! Obviously there are still some bad nights but I am finding them far less frequent, and I am more confident about my ability to deal with the following day despite a bad night’s sleep, which is a huge step for me. My concentration and energy levels during the day have increased which I also believe is due to the ease with which I fall asleep and stay asleep. Katie (London)

Insomnia Clinic Testimonial

The time I spent with you last month was the best 1.5 hours I have invested in a very long time!  The mindfulness technique you taught me has not only improved the quality and duration of my sleep; it has fundamentally changed the way in which I deal with life.  Being able to create distance between myself and my own thoughts and emotions, has given me such an amazing freedom and empowerment!  Letting go of the rope has enabled me to create the space to make choices about my life, rather than letting myself be pulled around.

With regards to my sleep, the first night I put the technique into practise, my thoughts went into overdrive and my insomnia was the worst it had ever been.  But by the second night, I was starting to sleep for longer periods and if I did wake up, I was getting back to sleep much sooner than I had been.  Now when I go to bed, I am a sleep within minutes and whilst I still wake up a couple of times during the night, I fall back to sleep very quickly.

Thank you for enriching my life!
