“Why do I fall asleep on the sofa,but not in my bed?” If this happens to you, you’re not doing anything wrong. For many people the bed becomes a place of effort and pressure - trying to sleep, watching the clock doing sleep maths and worrying about the next day. The sofa often feels easier, lower stakes, less expectations and more safety. Sleep follows safety not furniture. A gentle thing to try - Instead of going to bed to sleep try going to bed to rest. No goals, no fixing just letting your body be there. If sleep comes that’s lovely, if it doesn’t that’s okay to too. Removing pressure is often the first step. -anxiety

Sleep Question from the Big Blue Chair:
“Is it bad if my partner and I sleep in separate beds?”
Short answer — no.
And for many couples, it’s one of the healthiest decisions they ever make.
So many people carry guilt about this.
They worry it means something about their relationship.
In reality, it often means they’re finally protecting their sleep.
Snoring, different schedules, light, movement, anxiety — all of these fragment rest.
And when people are chronically sleep deprived, everything feels harder, including connection.
Good sleep makes you a better partner.
Sharing a life doesn’t require sharing a mattress.
If this question has ever crossed your mind, you’re not alone — and it’s not a silly one.

😴 Could your sleep be hiding a serious problem?
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is more common than you think — and it doesn’t just affect your nights.
Night-time signs might include:
🌙 Loud snoring
🌙 Gasping, choking or pauses in breathing during sleep
🌙 Restless or broken sleep
🌙 Waking up tired, even after “a full night”
🌙 Low s*x drive
🌙 Need for the toilet overnight (Lots)
Daytime red flags can look like:
☀️ Feeling constantly tired or foggy
☀️ Morning headaches
☀️ Irritability or low mood
☀️ Struggling to focus or stay awake (even during the day)
Left untreated, OSA can increase your risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and heart issues — but the good news is, help is available.
🛏️ I offer quick, professional sleep tests that can be done from the comfort of your own home. No long waits, no fuss — just answers.
📩 contact me if you're curious, concerned, or just want to know more. Better sleep starts with understanding what's really going on at night. www.ashbysleepsloutions.co.uk

POV - I’m a sleep scientist and I still get some sleep loss before something big!
Even with all the tools of CBTi I can still get anticipatory sleep loss sometimes. Yep, wide awake with excitement. It’s a reminder that perfect 7 nights a week 365 days a year sleep doesn’t exist. It’s not about having rough night it’s knowing how to bounce back from it. Be kind to yourself

🌙💤 Excited to Announce My Upcoming Talk: “Sleep and Menopause” 💜✨

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, typically occurring between ages 45-55, marked by significant hormonal changes. While it’s a normal process, it can bring challenges such as hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances that affect not just women, but also their families and friends. When a loved one experiences these changes, it can create a ripple effect, impacting relationships and daily interactions.

Sleep plays a vital role in managing these symptoms. Poor sleep can further exacerbate emotional and physical health issues during menopause. But don’t worry—there are effective strategies to improve sleep quality and overall well-being during this transition.

Join me for this informative session where we’ll explore the link between sleep and menopause, discuss coping strategies, and share insights on how to support each other through this life stage. Let’s empower ourselves and the women in our lives to embrace this journey with knowledge and support!

🗓️ Date: 4th June
📍 Location: 101 Bondgate, Castle Donington

I met this lovely lady Karen Penny, who is walking to raise awareness and money for Alzheimer’s. She has already done 10500miles around UK and now she is on another walk around county borders. 🧠💤 Understanding Alzheimer’s and the Importance of Sleep 💜🔍

Did you know that sleep plays a crucial role in brain health? For those affected by Alzheimer’s, getting quality sleep is essential. Poor sleep patterns can worsen symptoms and cognitive decline.

🛌 Tips for Better Sleep:
1. Establish a Routine: Stick to consistent sleep and wake times.
2. Create a Relaxing Environment: Keep the bedroom cool and dark.
3. Limit Screen Time: Reduce exposure to screens at least an hour before bed.
4. Stay Active: Physical activity during the day can promote better sleep at night.

Let’s raise awareness about the connection between Alzheimer’s and sleep! Share your tips or experiences in the comments below. 💬💖

Sleep isn’t just rest — it’s recovery for your mind. Poor sleep can fuel anxiety and depression, and in turn, those struggles can disrupt your sleep. It’s a bi-directional relationship that’s more common than you think.

✨ The good news? You can break the cycle. Let me guide you toward better sleep so you can start feeling brighter, clearer, and more balanced.

Sleep well. Dream big. Feel better. 🌙
