The Sleep Coach School officially opened its digital doors in 2018, but our story begins way before that. Co-founder and Head Sleep Coach, Daniel Erichsen, was working as a sleep physician in Springfield, OR. But he eventually realized that the traditional approach to insomnia (like sleep restriction and night-time “rituals”) rarely solved the problem. In most cases, the pressure and emphasis on sleep actually made things worse.
So, Daniel shifted gears and drove to the root of the problem instead – sleep anxiety and fear. By simply teaching insomnia-sufferers that there is nothing to fear when the sun sets, everything changed – and Daniel’s patients started seeing remarkable results.
Daniel’s unique sleep philosophy takes a soft and gentle approach to ending insomnia by easing the pressure. It’s not even about “building a better relationship with sleep”. There’s no relationship to build, because sleeping is as natural as breathing. It’s about understanding what’s been keeping you from sleeping, so you can stop trying so hard and start doing what you intrinsically know how to do!
Determined to expand his reach and help more people enjoy peaceful slumber, Daniel took to YouTube to bring free insomnia education to the masses, from New York to New Delhi to Johannesburg.
Today, The Sleep Coach School has helped 10s of 1000s of people achieve something they never thought possible – leaving insomnia behind and sleeping with ease.
But Daniel wasn’t stopping there. He realized that the world needed more than education, but educators. And so, he developed our signature Sleep Coach Certification Program that invites recovered insomnia sufferers to draw on their own experience to change lives.
The Sleep Coach School is on a mission to change the way the world sleeps by reaching as many insomniacs as possible. That’s why we also built a group coaching program and the BedTyme App to make it easier than ever to leave insomnia for good. The Sleep Coach School is honored to have a growing collective of alumni and Sleep Coach Certification Program graduates, and we hope to see your success story here next.
