Did you know sleep coaching isn’t regulated by any state or federal agency?

There is no licensing requirement for the sleep coaching profession like there is for medical doctors or therapists. And with the increase in demand for sleep support, more pop-up certification programs from sleep coaches, with different philosophies and who may have a background in sleep but not in curriculum development or professional training, are popping up.

Hence, to ensure you are working with a highly qualified sleep coach professional who is adhering to the finest standards and best practices, ask how many hours of training both in theory and practice they have had, what kind of approach they follow and how they conduct their sessions.

What qualifies a sleep coach?

A qualified sleep coach is professionally trained and certified in sleep science, health and education and learns
the skills of:

• Signs and symptoms of medical conditions to know when and how to refer out
• active listening
• powerful questioning, such as motivational interviewing
• tracking progress and accountability
• practical and realistic planning and goal setting
• establishing a coaching presence
• categorizing and prioritizing short term and long-term goals
• performing a thorough investigation and evaluation
• uncovering the root cause of their client’s challenge

Their training involves both theory and practice and at least a minimum of one hundred hours of education, including being mentored through case studies and working with volunteers. Qualified sleep coaches are also required to maintain their education by renewing their credentials usually every two years with proof of continued education and do not diagnose, examine or treat their clients.”
