ISLA-GRACE ADULT SLEEP COURSE
Finally Sleep Again – Without Relying on Pills or "Just One More Thing to Try"
You've Tried Everything. Nothing Has Worked.
Your doctor handed you a prescription and said “this should help.”
The sleep apps promised miracles. The supplements piled up on your nightstand. The meditation recordings put you to sleep… for 20 minutes before you were wide awake again, staring at the ceiling at 3 AM.
You were told CBT-I is the “gold standard” for insomnia. Maybe you even tried it. And while it helped a little, something was still missing. You’re still not sleeping.
Here’s what no one tells you: CBT-I addresses behavior. But what if your sleep problem is hormonal? Or nutritional? Or gut-related?
That’s why you can follow every CBT-I protocol perfectly… and still lie awake at 3 AM.
Those clinical protocols? They’re built on solid science. But they were designed for research studies, not for YOU – a real person with a unique body, unique stressors, hormonal fluctuations, gut issues, nutrient deficiencies, and a life that doesn’t fit neatly into a textbook case study.
You don’t need another “sleep hack.”
You need someone who understands that your insomnia is complex – and who has the expertise to help you investigate ALL of it.
THE TRUTH
After 12+ years as a sleep specialist and working with thousands of exhausted adults, I’ve learned this:
Insomnia isn’t just “in your head” – but it’s not purely physical either.
Your sleep problems are likely a perfect storm of:
- Disrupted circadian rhythms (your body's internal clock is broken)
- Anxiety and racing thoughts (your nervous system won't turn off)
- Hormonal imbalances (cortisol, melatonin, estrogen, testosterone - all out of whack)
- Gut dysfunction (yes, your gut health affects your sleep)
- Nutrient deficiencies (magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin D)
- Learned sleep anxiety (you've conditioned yourself to fear bedtime)
- Environmental factors (light exposure, temperature, noise)
- Lifestyle patterns (irregular schedules, caffeine timing, exercise)
These issues fall into 5 categories:
- Behavioral (sleep schedule, bedroom habits, conditioning) - I teach this
- Nervous System (anxiety, stress response, ability to relax) - I teach this
- Nutritional (magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin D, blood sugar) - I educate about this
- Hormonal (cortisol, melatonin, estrogen, progesterone) - I educate about this
- Gut Health (inflammation, neurotransmitter production) - I educate about this
Standard CBT-I only addresses the first two.
The Isla-Grace Sleep Approach educates you about all five – and shows you how to find medical practitioners who can investigate the last three if needed.
That’s why my clients finally sleep – when nothing else has worked.

What Students Are
saying
Meet Lauren Weber
Hi, I’m Lauren – mom of two, four-time certified sleep specialist, and graduate of the Mastering Sleep Medicine program.
I’ve spent over 12 years helping exhausted people reclaim their sleep and their lives.
Here’s what you need to know about me:
I’ve been where you are. After my divorce, I developed terrible insomnia. Racing thoughts, middle-of-the-night wake-ups, dreading bedtime. As a sleep specialist, I knew all the “rules” – but my body wasn’t cooperating.
That’s when I realized: the standard protocols weren’t enough.
I had to go deeper. I studied how nutrition affects sleep. I learned about the gut-brain-sleep connection. I explored what functional testing exists and how to access it. I researched evidence-based supplements and integrative approaches.
And I fixed my own sleep.
Now I bring this comprehensive, CBT-I informed but holistic approach to my clients. Because you deserve more than “just take this pill” or “try sleep restriction and see what happens.”
You deserve a specialist who sees the whole picture, educates you about all the factors that may be affecting your sleep, and supports you through the entire process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this course right for me if I have [specific condition]?
A: The course addresses insomnia related to anxiety, hormonal changes, stress, poor sleep hygiene, circadian rhythm disorders, and learned sleep anxiety. If you have untreated sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or REM sleep behavior disorder, you should get medical treatment first – but this course can complement that treatment. Email me if you’re unsure: [email protected]
Q: How is this different from other CBT-I programs?
A: Most CBT-I programs only address behavioral patterns and basic sleep hygiene. The Isla-Grace Sleep Approach educates you about ALL five factors that may be affecting your sleep: behavioral patterns, nervous system regulation, nutritional status, hormonal balance, and gut health.
For the first two pillars, I teach you directly through proven sleep coaching techniques. For the last three, I educate you about what factors may be disrupting your sleep and show you how to find qualified medical practitioners who can investigate further if needed.
This comprehensive approach is why students finally sleep after years of trying “everything else.”
Q: What is the Isla-Grace Sleep Approach?
A: It’s my educational framework that explores ALL five factors that may be affecting your sleep:
- Behavioral – I teach you proven techniques (Modules 10, 12, 14-17, 20-21)
- Nervous System – I teach you regulation strategies (Modules 13-15)
- Nutritional – I educate you about key nutrients and food timing (Module 11)
- Hormonal – I educate you about hormones and testing options (Modules 19, 23)
- Gut Health – I educate you about the gut-sleep connection (Module 23)
For pillars 1-2, I provide direct sleep coaching. For pillars 3-5, I educate you about what may be affecting your sleep and show you how to find medical practitioners who can investigate further.
Most programs only address behavioral factors. That’s why they fail when your sleep issues have hormonal, nutritional, or gut health components. The Isla-Grace Sleep Approach ensures you understand the full picture so you can pursue the right support.
Q: What if I've already tried CBT-I?
A: If you tried CBT-I and it didn’t work, there’s a reason. You were likely addressing behavioral patterns while ignoring hormonal, nutritional, or gut health factors. This course teaches you about ALL five pillars – and shows you how to investigate what standard CBT-I completely misses.
Module 23 specifically educates you about functional testing options (Dutch Test for hormones, GI-MAP for gut health, vitamin panels, mineral analysis) and how to find practitioners who can order these tests.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Most students notice improvements within 2-4 weeks of implementing their personalized protocol. However, timeline varies based on:
- The severity of your insomnia
- Whether you have underlying issues that need medical investigation
- How consistently you implement the protocols
- Your unique sleep challenges
The 6-week support period is designed to help you troubleshoot, adjust, and optimize your approach for the best results.
Q: Do I need to buy supplements or do testing?
A: No. The behavioral and nervous system techniques alone resolve sleep issues for many students.
Modules 11 and 23 educate you about nutrition, hormones, and gut health so you understand what MIGHT be affecting your sleep. If, after implementing behavioral techniques, you’re still struggling, you’ll know what to investigate next and how to find practitioners who can help.
Testing and supplements are optional depending on your individual situation.
Q: What if I can't implement everything at once?
A: You’re not supposed to! Your personalized plan will tell you exactly where to start based on your intake assessment. Most students focus on 2-3 key techniques for the first few weeks, then gradually add more as they progress. The 6-week support helps pace your implementation appropriately.
Q: How does the 6-week email support work?
A: Once you’re ready to implement your personalized plan (after reviewing your recommended modules), you email me to start your 6-week support period.
Each Wednesday by noon, you complete a brief Typeform check-in about your week. Within 24 hours, you receive my personalized response with guidance, troubleshooting, and adjustments to your protocol.
This structured system ensures consistent accountability and timely support when you need it most.
Q: What if I have a question after the 6-week support period?
A: You’ll have lifetime access to the course materials, so you can review content anytime. After your 6-week support period, you can purchase additional support sessions if needed. Most students find the 6 weeks sufficient to establish solid sleep patterns and feel confident managing their sleep independently.
Q: Is there a money-back guarantee?
A: Due to the personalized nature of this course (custom sleep plan + direct email support), all sales are final. However, I’m confident this course will help you. If you have questions about whether it’s right for your situation, email me before enrolling: [email protected]
