Your Mind Won't Switch Off At Night. We Retrain It — So You Can Finally Sleep Through and Get Your Life Back.

The Mindbodied Sleep Clinic retrains the overactive brain that won't switch off at night — so you fall asleep faster, stay asleep, and wake up with the energy, focus, and patience you've been missing. Available in-clinic in Glanmire, Cork, or online from anywhere.

Free, no-obligation call — just an honest assessment of what's driving your sleep.

You're not broken. Your brain's sleep switch is broken.

Lying awake at 3am, mind racing, overthinking everything.

Or falling asleep fine, then snapping wide awake for no reason - exhausted the next day no matter what you try. You've tried the sleep hygiene tips, the supplements, maybe even medication. Nothing works, because none of it addresses what's actually happening: your brain is stuck in an overactive state and won't switch off.

That's the Sleep Switch — it's how your brain is wired, not a willpower problem.

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Unable to focus at work — snapping at coworkers, forgetting what you were saying mid-sentence
  • By evening you've got nothing left — frustrated, irritable, and your kids or partner get the brunt of it
  • You've started dreading bedtime, because you already know tonight's going to be the same
  • The stress of not sleeping is affecting your mood and mental health
  • You're starting to think you might never sleep well again

This Is What Getting Your Life Back Actually Looks Like

When your Sleep Switch works properly again, it's not just about sleep. Clients tell us they become more productive during the day, less overwhelmed, calmer under pressure. The dread of bedtime disappears — they go to sleep confident they'll actually sleep, and if one night is rough, it doesn't spiral into anxiety because they know the next night will be fine.

Imagine having one cup of coffee in the morning because you like it — not because you need it just to function.

Imagine closing your eyes at 10:30pm and waking up naturally, feeling like you actually slept.

Imagine starting your day with a clear head and a bit of a spring in your step, because you already know it's going to be a good day.

"I was always assuming the reason for my poor sleep and lack of energy was because I was getting old. I had just reached 50 and I automatically assumed so this is what it like to be in your fifties. Before I met Michael, I had been waking up after 3-4 hours and not knowing at the time, I had extreme anxiety about this. Sometimes I could not get back to sleep, it had a direct impact in my every days life. But..when I met Michael, I was actually quite sceptical, but I was desperate and the lack of sleep and energy was really impacting me. Michael was so accommodating and compassionate, he knew straight away what I was going through. I took his advice and consultation step by step, I knew it wasn't going to be a quick fix. Over time and it does take time, the gradual improvements starting kicking in and now I can only say the neurofeedback consultations and advice I took has been completely transformative. I can now sleep up to 7, 7.5 hours without interruption, not every night but most nights. My energy has really improved. The key ingredients, are listen, be disciplined, be diligent and most of all be patient when taking the advice and consultation from Michael."

Patrick, Cork — Overcame extreme anxiety around waking after 3-4 hours

"I've been working closely with Michael for quite some time now, and I'm genuinely seeing positive changes in both my sleep and emotional wellbeing. I had been struggling badly with sleep, which was having a major knock-on effect on my daily life and significantly worsening my already overwhelming anxiety. Over the past few months, I've been doing weekly neurofeedback sessions with Michael, while also taking on board his guidance, knowledge, and recommendations around the changes and practices that could support my healing and overall wellbeing. Alongside the neurofeedback work, Michael also incorporated kinesiology sessions, as well as other healing techniques that I found to be a real added bonus throughout the process. What I appreciate most about Michael is how easy he is to talk to. He is understanding, supportive, and shares a huge amount of valuable insight, including from his own personal experience. I always feel listened to and supported, and I have complete trust in him and the work he does."

The Sleep Switch: Why Your Brain Won't Switch Off at Night

An overstimulated nervous system keeps the brain "on," preventing sleep onset or causing it to "snap back on" mid-sleep, resulting in you waking with the busy mind for no apparent reason. Brain training works by teaching the brain to self-regulate this switch — not sedating it, not forcing it, training it.

Why This Works, Unlike What You've Tried Before

Most fixes fail because they're a band-aid — they manage a symptom without touching the root cause, so you end up going from one quick fix to the next. This works because it's built on 3 pillars:

1

Root Cause

We get to the actual root cause of your sleep issues, not just another band-aid, so we can solve it once and for all.

2

Skills & Habits (Retrain)

We retrain your brain and build the skills and habits you need to feel confident and happy in yourself through sleeping well — not a one-time fix, a rebuilt capability.

3

Accountability

Ongoing support to keep you on track, especially through shaky weeks, sleep anxiety flare-ups, or old habits creeping back in.

The Sleep & Energy Upgrade System

The proven holistic plan that delivers on those 3 pillars.

Stage 1

Analyze

We uncover what's really going on inside your body and brain — what's out of alignment and keeping your brain stuck in an overactive state. This is where we start fixing the wiring in your brain that's keeping your Sleep Switch from working properly.

Stage 2

Align

We retrain and realign your brain and body to work together again — moving your brain out of the high-active brainwaves into the slower, calmer state needed for deep, natural sleep. This is where clients start noticing real change: falling asleep faster, waking fewer times, easier to fall back asleep, calmer through the day.

Stage 3

Optimise

We build long-term resilience so your Sleep Switch stays balanced and working reliably, night after night. Your brain becomes stronger, calmer, more efficient at switching into sleep mode — this is where clients experience the deep, consistent sleep they've been craving, waking up refreshed, clear, and rested.

This is the plan we follow together — so you stop guessing, stop relying on Dr. Google, and start actually moving forward.

"Before my sessions with Michael, I was a terrible sleeper, it would take forever to get some sleep (often needing some background noise) and when I did get to sleep, I was waking every 45 mins or so. From the first session, I noticed something changed and by the third session I was falling asleep unaided and sleeping through the night. I would recommend Michael to anybody who has difficulty sleeping or staying asleep."

Kevin Murray, Cork · In-Clinic — Falling asleep unaided by session 3

"I had been suffering long term insomnia for over 13 years. There would be two nights a week where I would get zero hours of sleep and the other nights somewhere between two and four hours. I had tried everything for relief i.e sleep studies, sleeping tablets, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, reflexology etc all with no success. Since the commencement of my journey with Michael I am now consistently getting between 6-8 hours of good quality sleep which has rejuvenated my energy levels and quality of life. I would strongly recommend this to anyone suffering as I was as I had tried every treatment out there and only Michael's brought me relief. Great setting and Michael is a thorough gentleman and professional who is a great support throughout the journey."

Will Power, Waterford · Online — 13-year insomnia history

"Neurofeedback with Michael has changed my life. When I met him in August, I could barely work and had extreme difficulty sleeping. After a few sessions I was able to sleep without medication and get a good job. I fell ill with the flu and briefly went back to where I had started with him, after a few sessions I was back to functioning well. I am so thankful for this therapy."

Laura, Cork · In-Clinic — Able to sleep without medication

Common Questions

What is the Sleep Switch?

The Sleep Switch is an analogy for how your brain switches off for sleep. When your nervous system is overstimulated, the switch stays stuck 'on' — you can't fall asleep — or snaps back on mid-night and you wake for no reason. It's a brain issue, not a willpower problem.

How is brain training different from medication or sleep hygiene tips?

Medication sedates the brain. Sleep hygiene tips manage the symptoms. Neither retrains anything. Brain training teaches your brain to self-regulate its own Sleep Switch — so it learns to switch off on its own naturally, without ongoing dependence.

What results can I expect?

Our clients see an average of 70% improvement in sleep. Results are tracked session by session, so you'll see measurable change — not just a vague feeling of 'maybe better.'
