Exhausted but unable to switch off at night?
I help sleep-deprived professionals calm a hyper-alert nervous system so sleep becomes deeper, more reliable, and less of a battle.
Why does sleep suddenly become so difficult?
Many of the people I work with are exhausted by the time they go to bed.
They want to sleep.
They know they need sleep.
But the moment they try to switch off, their mind stays active and alert.
Often they experience things like:
racing thoughts at night
waking at 3am unable to get back to sleep
feeling “tired but wired”
light or broken sleep
lying awake despite exhaustion
constantly thinking, planning, or worrying in bed
For many people, the problem goes deeper than bedtime routines or avoiding screens before bed.
When the nervous system spends too long carrying pressure, responsibility, stress, or constant mental load, it can gradually lose the ability to fully settle into deep restorative rest.
That’s why many intelligent, capable people find themselves exhausted but still unable to properly switch off at night.
My work focuses on helping the nervous system move out of chronic alertness so sleep can start to feel natural and reliable again.
“I’ve been absolutely ‘sparko’ by the end of the day and have slept most nights through without long breaks.”
— ClientA different approach to chronic sleep problems
Many people who struggle with sleep have already tried:
better routines
supplements
meditation apps
herbal teas
relaxation techniques
avoiding screens before bed
But when the nervous system has spent a long time carrying pressure, responsibility, stress, or constant mental load, sleep often becomes more than just a habit problem.
That’s why my work focuses on helping the nervous system move out of a state of chronic alertness so the body can begin to properly settle into restorative rest again.
I use approaches including hypnotherapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), nervous system regulation work, and coaching to help clients:
fall asleep more easily
wake less during the night
stop dreading bedtime
reduce racing thoughts
feel calmer around sleep
experience deeper, more restorative rest
Not through forcing sleep.
But by helping the body relearn how to switch off more fully again.
Better sleep often improves far more than the night itself.
Clients frequently find they:
think more clearly
have more consistent energy
feel calmer and more resilient
perform better at work
recover better physically
concentrate more easily
become more patient and present in relationships
stop spending their days simply trying to push through exhaustion
Because when the nervous system is no longer stuck in chronic alertness, both sleep and daily life often start to feel easier again.
Sleep problems can feel incredibly isolating
If you’ve been struggling with sleep for a long time, it’s easy to start feeling frustrated, exhausted, or as though you’ve already tried everything.
Many of the people I work with have spent months or years:
pushing through exhaustion
overthinking sleep
dreading the night
functioning during the day while feeling depleted underneath
trying advice that never fully solved the problem
The consultation is an opportunity to talk through what’s been happening with your sleep, explore what may be keeping the pattern going, and get a clearer sense of whether this approach feels like the right fit for you.
There’s no pressure and no expectation to commit to anything.
Just a calm, thoughtful conversation about what’s been happening and what support might look like.
What working together looks like
Sleep problems are rarely caused by one single thing.
That’s why my approach is personalised to the individual rather than following a rigid one-size-fits-all programme.
We begin by exploring:
your sleep patterns
what may be keeping your nervous system overly alert
how your mind and body are responding around sleep
the factors maintaining the cycle of poor sleep and exhaustion
From there, we work together to help the nervous system settle more fully out of chronic alertness so sleep can start becoming deeper, calmer, and more reliable again.
Depending on the person, this may involve hypnotherapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and practical approaches to helping the body and mind settle more fully into rest again.
I typically work with clients through my Sleep Reset Programme, a series of five sessions across roughly two months. This gives us time to work with the underlying patterns keeping sleep difficult and to help the nervous system establish a more settled and sustainable way of sleeping before we finish working together.
The work is collaborative, practical, and focused on long-term change rather than quick fixes or temporary coping strategies.
A quick example of what can start to change
I’m Rachel Goth, a sleep strategist specialising in helping exhausted, highly switched-on people who struggle to properly switch off at night.
My work focuses on understanding the patterns keeping the nervous system overly alert and helping the body relearn how to settle more fully into deep, restorative rest again.
I use approaches including hypnotherapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and practical sleep and nervous system work to support long-term change that fits real life.
Many of the people I work with want more than simply “getting through the day.” They want clearer thinking, better energy, improved focus, and the ability to properly enjoy their lives again without constant exhaustion sitting in the background.
You don't have to keep pushing through exhaustion.
