Dr Guy Meadows is one the UK's leading sleep scientists, pioneering the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness for overcoming insomnia.

He set up The Sleep School to help stop insomniacs needlessly suffering around the world and has worked with thousands of insomnia sufferers over the last nine years via his highly effective 1-on-1 clinic, weekend and weeknight courses.

He regularly works with large organisations running his 'Sleep to Perform' programme to enable employees to be 100% switched on and stress free during the day by knowing how to sleep well at night.

He regularly contributes to television and radio discussing the importance of getting a good night’s sleep.
