Why You Need a Sleep Specialist
The 3 R's to Sleep Success
Professional Support for All Sleep Challenges
When you’re running on little sleep, life feels hard. Patience is tested, tempers explode and the exhaustion begins to affect everything including work and relationships.
Sleep issues look different for every family. It could be a baby who wakes every hour, twins with mismatched sleep cycles or an adult living with constant insomnia, whatever the challenge, help is available. As experienced sleep specialists, we provide the necessary support needed by struggling families and individuals across Australia.
We don’t offer quick fixes or generic routines, but a structured, tailored approach backed by the science of sleep.
Why Work With a Sleep Specialist?
Combining clinical knowledge, behavioural insight and compassionate guidance, sleep specialists address sleep issues from every angle – physical, emotional and environmental.
At Nigh Nigh, we look at the full picture. We consider a range of factors including medical conditions, feeding issues, anxiety or lifestyle patterns, anything that may be keeping you or your child awake. Every sleep plan we create is designed to suit your specific circumstances so that good sleep becomes normal.
Expertise You Can Trust
Led by Deb Herdman, a qualified Sleep Practitioner trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi), Nigh Nigh has supported thousands of Australians in reclaiming restful sleep.
Deb’s expertise extends across all life stages and includes complex cases that require specialised understanding, such as premature infants, twins, neurodivergent children or adults with severe health conditions that affect sleep.
We tailor support to every age group:
Babies and Toddlers
From frequent night waking to short naps and sleep regressions, we help create predictable routines that promote longer stretches of sleep.
Children
We guide families through bedtime resistance, night terrors and early waking with practical, age-appropriate techniques.
Teenagers
For teens dealing with late nights, stress or disrupted schedules, we help reset sleep patterns and establish healthy habits that support growth and focus.
Adults
Whether it’s long-term insomnia, anxiety or shift work, our CBTi-based programs address the root causes of poor sleep, helping you regain control without medication.
Every plan is personal and client is supported with care.
The Science That Sets Us Apart
When searching for a sleep consultant or specialist, it’s important to look for a practitioner trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi), which is the global gold standard in sleep science.
CBTi forms the foundation of our approach because it treats the cause, not just the symptoms.
It’s a clinically proven method that rewires bad sleep habits and reshapes the thoughts that keep you awake. The skills you learn with us become lifelong tools for maintaining better sleep naturally, without relying on pills or other fixes.
We often meet clients who’ve been told to try melatonin, wait it out or even undergo unnecessary sleep studies. While those approaches can sometimes help, they don’t usually deliver lasting change.
