Most sleep support asks you to fit yourself into a programme. The Rapid Decode Process works the other way around — identifying the exact lever in your sleep system within the first ten minutes, and giving you one clear starting point instead of a list.

Kerry AI is a private, low-pressure entry point into sleep support. Created by Kerry Davies, The Sleep Fixer, it helps you understand what may be happening with your sleep without shame, fear or generic advice.

Sleep is not optional. Kerry Davies, The Sleep Fixer, explains why sleep is an ancient biological process, why modern life disrupts it, and how understanding your body can help you rebuild trust in sleep.

A piece in Yahoo News this week is getting attention for suggesting scientists are changing the way they understand insomnia. It's worth reading. But there's something more important that isn't being said clearly enough. CBT and CBT-I are not the same thing. Most people don't know this. And that one piece of confusion is keeping a significant number of people stuck. CBT — Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — is designed for anxiety and depression. It works on thoughts and emotions

That's according to a report making the rounds this week and honestly, I'm not surprised by the number. But I am sad about it. Because behind it isn't just tiredness. It's millions of people dragging themselves through their days, wired, emotional, quietly wondering why nothing they've tried has worked. And the part that stays with me is this: most of them haven't told anyone. They've normalised it. Pushed through. Told themselves this is just what adulthood looks like now.

I was recently featured in Country & Town House discussing the rise of “dark showering” and whether it actually supports sleep. It’s something I genuinely love seeing more of. Not because any one trend is the answer, but because it’s opening up conversations about how sleep actually works. Featured Insight: Dark Showering & Sleep In my recent feature in Country & Town House, we explored how darkness and temperature can support the body as it prepares for sleep. Darkness plays

Sleep advice is everywhere. You might have heard to optimise your light exposure, track your sleep cycles, take magnesium, or try glycine. Maybe you’ve been told to avoid caffeine after midday—or is it after 10 a.m.? Some suggest getting a cold room, using a weighted blanket, practicing the 4-7-8 breathing technique, or trying yoga nidra. Others say journal before bed, then contradict themselves by warning that journaling activates your brain. None of these tips are necessari

After a rough night of sleep, the natural reaction is to stay in bed longer. It seems logical: your body is tired, and extra rest should help you recover. The bed feels like a safe haven, and facing the day without enough sleep can feel overwhelming. Yet, this common response often backfires, turning a single bad night into a recurring pattern of poor sleep. Understanding why staying in bed longer after a sleepless night can make things worse is key to breaking this cycle and

Sleep troubles often start with a clear event—a stressful period at work, illness, or a major life change. For many, sleep shifts from a natural, effortless process to a problem that demands fixing. This shift can trap people in a cycle where trying harder to sleep only makes sleep difficulties worse. Understanding why this happens is key to breaking free and restoring restful nights. When Sleep Becomes a Problem to Solve Many people who struggle with long-term sleep issues c

Many people struggle with sleep without realising that the harder they try, the more elusive rest becomes. This article explores the biological reasons behind this frustrating experience and offers practical advice on how to improve sleep naturally without forcing it.

Most of us grow up believing that if we get our 7–8 hours of sleep, we should wake up feeling refreshed, energised and ready for the day.But what happens when you are hitting those hours… and still feel completely exhausted? This is exactly what happened to “Eddie,” a client in his mid-40s whose story highlights one of the most misunderstood sleep problems out there: poor sleep quality and undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea. This blog takes you through Eddie’s journey — the

If you’ve ever found yourself wide awake at 2 a.m. Your mind racing, scrolling, replaying random conversations or planning tomorrow’s to-do list , you’re not alone. This week on The Sleep Fixer Podcast, I share Denise’s story , a woman in her 30s with ADHD who kept waking through the night feeling alert but exhausted. Her body was tired, but her brain hadn’t got the memo. Denise was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago. Like so many adults with ADHD, she described her mind as

Have you ever climbed into bed only for your mind to light up with thoughts? Suddenly you’re solving tomorrow’s problems, replaying today’s conversations, and wondering how on earth you’ll make it through the week on so little sleep. If that sounds familiar, you’ll relate to Colin’s story, a C-suite professional in his 50s whose sleepless nights were starting to unravel his days. The Wired Mind: When Success Steals Sleep When Colin first came to me, he described bedtime as th

After just a week of enforced rest, life has slowed right down for me. I can’t physically do much, so I’ve been observing more , and it’s made me notice just how fast-paced our lives have become. One evening I was watching Unspeakable and there was a man with a typewriter, slowly filling in a form. It pinged something in me: the sheer difference between then and now. What once took hours, maybe days, now happens in seconds thanks to digital systems and AI. We celebrate the co

This week’s blog is a little different the absolute marvel that is The Well-being Alchemist Alchemy kindly gave me some of her time to talk about Meditation and the enormous benefits that this can have. For me it is so important to put you all at the forefront. Sometimes embarking on a sleep journey can feel too big, I understand that. I thought this was a super important subject that can really support you when things get too much. Even with sleep this can happen from time t

By Kerry Davies – Certified Sleep Practitioner In this blog I am going to cover what sleep deprivation looks like; like really looks like to the thousands of families that I have supported over the years. I will look some of the short term, most common, living consequences of sleep deprivation. I am not looking at the long term as I am guessing you are here because you want things to change, that then makes these irrelevant. I do not ever want to scare monger anyone into gett
