Corporate Sleep Workshop: What you need to know:
Sleep is the top trump of wellbeing. Our 60 minute Sleep School workshop teaches teams the practical science of better sleep — and the recovery and performance benefits that follow.
Good sleep isn’t optional. Specifically, it’s the foundation underneath focus, resilience, mood, decision-making and long-term health — the wellbeing topic that quietly enables every other one. Therefore, when sleep slips, everything slips. Performance, emotional regulation, immune function, judgement and creativity all decline together.
The data is sharp:
- 78% of adults agree sleep affects their mental health
- 71% sleep fewer than 7 hours a night
- 91% don’t feel rested or are tired at least some of the time
- Poor sleepers are twice as likely to struggle with productivity and three times more likely to struggle to concentrate (Source).
- Sleep deprivation reduces immune function by up to 70%
- Sleep deprivation costs global businesses an estimated $680 billion annually in lost productivity
A 60-minute workshop in three parts: the science, the proactive strategies, and the reactive strategies for the nights it doesn’t go to plan.
What Sleep School covers:
A 60-minute workshop in three parts — the science, the proactive strategies, and the reactive strategies for the nights it doesn’t go to plan.
- The Science of Sleep: What happens in the brain during sleep, the four NREM stages plus REM, and the sleep/stress loop — why poor sleep amplifies stress and vice versa.
- Proactive Strategies: Regularity (the top trump of sleep), sleep hygiene, the bedtime relaxation toolkit, sleep-friendly nutrition, your morning routine, and your sacred sleeping space.
- Reactive Strategies: Cognitive shuffling, stress-busting techniques (breathwork, self-acupressure, NSDR / yoga nidra), recovering from a bad night, and practical strategies for jet lag and shift work.
Clients who’ve booked Sleep School:
What participants leave with
Every participant leaves with:
- A clearer understanding of the science of sleep, recovery and performance
- 3-5 evidence-based changes they can make this week
- The bedtime relaxation toolkit + the morning checklist
- Cognitive shuffling and the stress-busting techniques as reactive tools
- A sleep-aware mindset they can bring to meeting culture, travel and high-pressure periods
The recovery and performance angle
Sleep School is the workshop most leadership teams book first when they’re investing in sustainable performance. Specifically, sleep is the single biggest physiological lever for:
- Cognitive output — focus, decision quality, judgement under pressure
- Emotional regulation — irritability, reactivity, conflict management
- Recovery between intense periods — restoration after launches, peak seasons, restructures
- Long-term resilience — preventing the slow drift toward burnout that starts with chronic under-sleeping
As a result, many of our clients book Sleep School specifically as the foundation of a wider sustainable performance programme — pairing it with Eating for Energy, Productivity and Peak Performance. Furthermore, ask about our Recovery & Performance signature programme for a multi-session partnership.
About your facilitator
Sleep School is led by a London-based sleep therapist. She came to sleep therapy through her own experience: years of struggling with anxiety, migraines and lifelong sleep problems, then discovering that yoga and sleep therapy could genuinely shift the pattern. As a result, what she teaches in Sleep School isn’t theoretical. It’s the practices that worked for her own sleep — refined across years of running workshops and retreats for clients privately, in groups, locally and internationally.
Her specialism is insomnia, which makes her particularly effective with the harder cases. Furthermore, her delivery is the part clients comment on most: warm, practical and non-preachy. As a result, she helps your team with what’s possible from where they are — rather than making anyone feel guilty for the sleep they’re not getting.
The Sleep Series: 30-minute deep-dive add-ons
Sleep School pairs naturally with focused 30-minute add-ons. Specifically, most clients pick one or two add-ons to extend the impact across a week or month:
- Rest & Recovery: How to Recover after a Bad Night’s Sleep — morning recovery, daytime energy, breaking the over-tiredness cycle
- The Secret to Good Sleep: Balancing the Nervous System — sleep-inducing breathwork, lymphatic activation, self-acupressure, sleep hypnosis
- A Deep Dive into Sleep Disorders — insomnia, sleep paralysis, apnea, circadian disorders, signs of sleep deprivation
- Better Sleep for Parents — compensating for lack of sleep, snatching restorative rest, nervous system regulation through the disrupted years
1:1 Sleep Consultations
For teams where sleep is a known concern, Sleep School pairs powerfully with 1:1 sleep consultations with Risa. Specifically, the most-booked configuration: 60-minute Sleep School webinar for the whole team, followed by a half or full day of 30-minute 1:1 sessions for individuals who want personal support.

- You’re planning World Sleep Day (March) — Sleep School is the natural centrepiece
What our clients say
Very interesting tips to help with sleep patterns, ways to getting to sleep and ways to wake up. The facilitator was excellent.The content was clear and very good examples were given.
Sleep School was informative without being preachy. I took away lots of small, simple tips that I had not thought of before. It has really made me re-assess my work/life balance.
I thought the host was very knowledgeable, and I appreciated all the practical advice.

Sleep School FAQs
Is Sleep School appropriate for people with sleep disorders?
The workshop is a general education and sleep hygiene session — not a clinical diagnosis or treatment. Specifically, for diagnosed sleep disorders (insomnia, apnea etc.), we recommend 1:1 sleep consultations with Risa or a referral to specialist medical support. As a result, the Sleep Series add-on “A Deep Dive into Sleep Disorders” goes further into this content for teams who want it.
Can we book this around World Sleep Day (March)?
Yes — World Sleep Day in March is one of our peak times for Sleep School. Furthermore, slots fill 6-8 weeks ahead, so book early. Specifically, late January and February are the cleanest windows to confirm a March delivery.
Does this workshop work for shift workers, parents and global teams?
Yes — specifically. The workshop includes content on coping with shift patterns, jet lag, broken sleep and the nervous system regulation that helps. Furthermore, we have a Sleep Series add-on for parents, and a dedicated Sleep for Working Parents workshop for parent-only cohorts.
Will Sleep School work for senior leadership cohorts?
Yes. Sleep School is one of the most-booked workshops for leadership cohorts specifically because sleep is the foundation of decision quality, emotional regulation and sustainable performance at senior level. As a result, we tailor the language and case examples for leadership audiences when needed.
What does it cost?
Tailored pricing based on duration, format, audience size, and whether you’re booking Sleep School alone or with Sleep Series add-ons / 1:1 consultations. Multi-element bookings are priced more favourably. Book a discovery call and we’ll send a clear quote within 48 hours.
