sleep coach

Rest habit specialist

A sleep coach is a professional who helps people improve their sleep habits and overcome sleep difficulties.

Unlike sleep medicine specialists who diagnose disorders, sleep coaches focus on behavioral strategies—establishing routines, adjusting environments, optimizing schedules.

The term often applies to specialists who help parents train infants and young children to sleep through the night: We hired a sleep coach when our baby wouldn't settle.
