How to sleep better, with Heather Darwall-Smith
How are you sleeping?
If your answer is “Not as well as I’d like”, help is at hand with our How to sleep better webinar featuring Heather Darwall-Smith, sleep expert and author of the new book How to Be Awake (So You Can Sleep Through the Night). It follows her debut, The Science of Sleep, and explores the paradox of modern sleep struggles.
Instead of simply focussing on sleep symptoms, Heather shares her approach as a psychotherapist to help us unpick some of the causes of poor sleep, learn how to address them and sleep better as a result! With her new book, she demystifies the bewildering data around sleep by combining science with natural self-help techniques.

Research shows that around 47% of women in perimenopause experience sleep disorders, rising to 60% post-menopause. Fluctuating hormones, night sweats and physical changes contribute to sleep issues. And poor sleep can adversely affect your mood, stress levels, daily functioning, sex life and can even lead to increased risk of chronic diseases.
But that knowledge doesn’t help when you’re staring at the ceiling in the dark. At NOON we also know anecdotally that the midlife collision – when experiences like redundancy, bereavement, financial pressure, elder care, divorce, empty nest, health problems or parenting teens – all seem to arrive at once.
That’s why Heather’s approach is so helpful – and holistic. Come get tips, insight and advice that will help get you sleeping like a baby!
