The Art of Falling Asleep letters_edited
A proprietary sleep system that aligns the mind, body and nervous system with sleep in a pre-bed routine.

With longer days and an increased capacity for information, sleep has lost its boundary and the sleep cycle has never been more burdened.

 

As a result, sleep is imploring that humanity adapt with a new sleep model, one that makes a conscious decision to end the momentum of the day, then makes the unconscious conscious in order to make an aligned decision to be fully present for sleep.

 

If your approach to sleep has not addressed this lack of boundary yet, you are in a position to not just transform your insomnia, but enjoy a quality of sleep that's never been experienced before:

A frequency of sleep arrived to by alchemizing never before seen levels of resistance with fully aligned, intentional and grounded sleep. 

​​

The Art of Falling Asleep is an inward approach to sleep. At its core, TAOFA uses "grounding to self" as a mechanism for alchemizing resistance, then aligning the mind, body, heart and spirit to enter sleep.  â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

The Intersection of Sleep-2.png

Because sleep is the most comprehensive experience of life and you the human being are at the center of the universe - the connection between earth and the divine - this nighttime ritual follows a sequence of concepts, steps that ground you mentally, physically, and spiritually, so that you may experience your truest self at the bridge between consciousness and unconsciousness, before being released in the most meaningful experience of life, sleep.

 

The Art of Falling Asleep is a complete modality for being grounded and living in alignment 24 hours a day, operating from the Higher Self and transforming one's life beyond sleep.

Hi, my name is Derek Lacey, curator of the Art of Falling Asleep, and I am here to help you facilitate the sleep process. Over the last 9 years working as an insomnia coach, I have curated a sequence for falling and staying asleep that helps you process and release your resistance to sleep.

​

Guided by more adaptive sleep principles and concepts, this method effectively aligns what the mind intends with what the body experiences on its way to connection & restoration. 

​

Unlike common relaxation techniques or more rigid CBT-I strategies, this method is derived from the farthermost and comprehensive view of sleep, integrating mind, body and spirit.

​

This is what I call the Art of Falling Asleep, the way you consciously navigate that intersection within you where circadian biology, psychology, philosophy and spirituality meet to articulate the very sacred act of sleep. 

​

The result is the most simple path to sleep, by way of your natural intelligence.

​

​The people I help already do more than is necessary in order to sleep but unconsciously create much of the resistance they feel before bedtime. 

​

In my experience, the most important ingredient in the healing of chronic insomnia is not another diet, biohacking tool or supplement, but an effective way of consciously and unconsciously processing, organizing, and redistributing your energy and resistance to sleep before bed.

 

If you would like to learn more about how you can work with me online, or in person at an upcoming sleep retreat, please use the link below to schedule a call. ​

There are 3 main reasons why people struggle to heal emotional insomnia:

  1. They don't understand where the mental and emotional resistance is coming from and what to do about it.

  2. They don't know how to build on the sleep they are already getting in order to increase their confidence to sleep. 

  3. They don’t have a reliable process for transitioning or crossing over into sleep.

One frustrating consequence of this is trying really hard to overpower these challenges with hacks and supplements you may not even need.
