About

Hello and Welcome!

Hello, I'm Michael Stein, a Behavioral Sleep Specialist. I founded Goodnight Insomnia with a singular mission: to help individuals like you achieve better sleep and improved overall well-being. My own journey into the world of sleep began during my college years, where I experienced the exhausting cycle of sleepless nights and relentless insomnia challenges firsthand. The despair of not being able to sleep drove me to tirelessly pursue solutions. Through this challenging period, I discovered the transformative power of techniques such as CBT-I, coupled with the invaluable guidance of my own coach, who helped me regain control of my sleep. This personal experience inspired me to enter this field, driven by the desire to assist others facing similar struggles.

With a Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychology, along with a Doctor of Medicine degree, I bring a unique blend of scientific knowledge and practical experience to my sleep coaching practice. Additionally, I hold a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), further enhancing my ability to effectively address sleep difficulties. Throughout my training and clinical experiences across several countries, I've witnessed the urgent need for comprehensive sleep care. Physicians often resort to prescribing medications without addressing the underlying root causes, leaving patients without adequate support or proper long-term solutions. This gap underscores the importance of holistic approaches like the ones I offer at Goodnight Insomnia.

I'm genuinely excited about the opportunity to work with you, and I'm committed to helping you achieve your sleep goals and embark on a journey to better health and well-being. Don't hesitate to reach out or connect with me—I'm here to support you every step of the way.

FAQs

A behavioral sleep specialist is a professional who specializes in the assessment and treatment of sleep disorders and disturbances using behavioral interventions. These specialists have expertise in understanding the behavioral, psychological, and environmental factors that can impact sleep quality and quantity.
Behavioral sleep specialists employ a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), stimulus control therapy, sleep restriction therapy, relaxation techniques, and sleep hygiene education. These techniques aim to address underlying factors contributing to sleep disturbances and promote better sleep habits.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a structured, evidence-based approach aimed at improving sleep by addressing thoughts, behaviors, and habits that may contribute to insomnia. Unlike medications, CBT-I focuses on developing healthy sleep patterns and changing behaviors that hinder restful sleep. It often involves techniques such as sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, and relaxation strategies. CBT-I is known for its effectiveness in treating insomnia and is a key component of my sleep coaching approach. If you have specific questions about CBT-I or how it may benefit you, feel free to discuss it during your initial consultation.
My 6-week sleep coaching package is a comprehensive program designed to address your specific sleep challenges and goals. This package includes:

  • Initial Assessment:A thorough analysis of your current sleep patterns, challenges, and goals, including a review of your medical history to ensure a holistic understanding of your unique situation.

  • Personalized Sleep Plan: A tailored plan to address your unique needs, incorporating evidence-based techniques.

  • Bi-Weekly Sessions: Regular one-on-one sessions to monitor progress, discuss challenges, and refine strategies.

  • Progress Tracking: Ongoing assessment of your sleep improvements and adjustments to the plan as needed.

  • Between-Session [E-mail] Support: Access to support and guidance between sessions to ensure continuous progress.

To ensure that my 6-week program is the right fit for you, I conduct an initial assessment to better understand your sleep patterns and challenges. This assessment helps to rule out other potential causes of sleep disturbances, such as medical conditions, which should be addressed or explored by your healthcare professional before starting the program.
Yes, in addition to personalized coaching sessions, I may provide supplementary resources such as sleep journals, relaxation exercises, and educational materials tailored to your specific sleep challenges and goals.
