Hi, my name is Lorraine Irlam. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, BC and the founder of Insomnia Help Canada. If struggling to fall asleep, tossing and turning at night, or waking up too early has become your norm, you are not alone. Like you, I felt hopeless and desperate about my inability to sleep.

I am a sleep psychologist specializing in helping moms fall asleep and stay asleep without medication. Sleep problems can develop at any time in your life--especially during major transitions. Motherhood and being a woman is full of many changes that can cause sleep problems. Hormone changes, such as pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause all impact our sleep. Our life patterns and schedules shift too, whether it be the baby finally sleeping through the night (but we're wide awake, anxiously waiting for them to wake up), early morning school schedules, busy & stressful work weeks, late night sports practices, an empty house; every phase of life changes everything. The stress, anxiety, the shifts in routine, can all cause us to have disrupted sleep. As a sleep psychologist I always ...
