The Functional Sleep Method

Our clinically aligned framework for improving sleep quality

Sleep problems rarely have one cause.

Most people struggle because their body, mind, hormones or sleep environment is working against them, often all at once.

Too many people struggle through their days exhausted, foggy, and stressed, without understanding why.

We believe everyone deserves sleep that supports their health, performance, and wellbeing.

The Functional Sleep Method solves this problem.

We combine functional medicine principles, biomechanics, stress physiology, and environmental optimisation.

Through detailed assessment including alignment, posture, lifestyle, bedding, and nightly patterns we identify the root causes of your sleep issues.

Then we build a personalised, integrated plan tailored to your unique body, habits, and environment for measurable, lasting results.

Research shows that when you improve your sleep you improve all of your health outcomes.

Prevention is your best insurance.

When Your Body Disrupts Your Sleep

If your body is uncomfortable, inflamed, misaligned, or under physical strain, it cannot enter restorative sleep - even if you’re exhausted.

Common signs:

  • Morning stiffness or pain
  • Waking tired despite hours in bed
  • Tossing, turning, or changing positions often
  • Pain in the neck, shoulders, back, or hips
  • Light, broken sleep that never feels deep

Most people don’t know if the problem is their body, their mattress, their pillow, or something else entirely. They waste money on products that don’t work because the root cause was never identified.

When Your Mind Disrupts Your Sleep

If your mind can’t switch off, your nervous system stays in alert mode - stopping your body from entering deep sleep.

Common signs:

  • Overthinking at night
  • Difficulty winding down
  • Waking between 2–4am with an “active” mind
  • Feeling wired but tired
  • Restless, mentally drained sleep

You may feel like you’re trying everything - reading, meditating, no screens - and nothing changes.

You’re exhausted but your brain refuses to slow down. Advice online feels vague or conflicting, leaving you unsure what to do next.

When Your Hormones Disrupt Your Sleep

When your hormones shift in menopause, the real problem isn’t the hormones themselves - it’s how your immune system interprets those changes. Understanding this matters because no amount of supplements, sleep hygiene, or guesswork can fix a problem rooted in immune signalling.

Common signs:

  • Your sleep has suddenly deteriorated
  • You wake up at 2–4am regularly
  • You overheat at night
  • You can't switch your mind off
  • Your mood feels unpredictable after dark

You’re tired of being told it’s “just your hormones” and you feel like nothing is working. You want a real explanation, not guesswork and you want your sleep to feel predictable again.

By identifying which of the 7 immune types is driving your symptoms, you finally know why your body is reacting - and exactly how to correct it.

When Your Environment Disrupts Your Sleep

Even small environmental mismatches can fragment sleep, trigger micro-awakenings, and create pain or overheating.

Common signs:

  • Waking hot, restless, or uncomfortable
  • Neck/shoulder/hip discomfort from sleep setup
  • Light sensitivity or waking earlier than you want
  • Noise sensitivity or sudden awakenings
  • Feeling like you “never slept deeply”

Most people don’t know if their mattress or pillow is helping or hurting them - and retail stores rarely provide clinically accurate guidance.
