Untired Me's (bedtime) story

Hello!

I'm Katherine, an ex-bedtime procrastinator and the creator of the Untired Me programme.

In my normal life, I’m a freelance copywriter and a mum of two who lives near the sea in Sussex, England. Until 2021, I was also a terrible bedtime procrastinator, and always had been. I’d tried countless times to change my habit, but could never stick to it.

I got to the point where I was sick of feeling tired all the time, and I was starting to wonder who the real, well-slept version of me even was!

So in January 2021, I made a single New Year’s resolution: to fix my bedtimes.

I decided that this time, I wouldn’t just try harder; I’d focus on developing a habit I could really stick to. I have a degree in psychology, so I treated it a bit like an experiment: testing to see what worked for me, and what didn’t. At the end of each week, I’d review, redesign and test it all over again

It was fun!

And more importantly, it worked. I was going to bed earlier and getting more sleep.

And I felt so much better: More motivated. More in control. More awake.

I also felt inspired. Because I realised that if this process worked for me, it could work for other bedtime procrastinators. So, I got to work, researching sleep, reward, habit creation and, of course, bedtime procrastination.

I combined these with my own experience, and the Untired Me programme was born.

Come and say hello!
