Simon, a psychotherapist and life coach, shares his journey and professional techniques to improve sleep quality. Through his company, Clear Talking, he focuses on practical therapy with short-term goals and transitions to life coaching with emphasis on sleep, stress management, and anxiety reduction.

Simon delves into the science of sleep, explaining the importance of circadian rhythm, the impact of hormones like melatonin and cortisol, and practical tips for establishing a successful bedtime routine.

He advocates for creating an optimal sleep environment, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and maintaining consistent sleep schedules. Simon also discusses the human givens therapy approach, its difference from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and offers advice on overcoming phobias.

Throughout the interview, Simon underscores the importance of equipping clients with tools to manage their concerns independently in the future.
