Side sleeper and early bird

Neurodivergent and a specialist in sleep inclusion
Natalie's journey into sleep research came from a personal place. After experiencing her own battles with chronic insomnia and "tired-but-wired" syndrome, she dedicated her career to understanding the mind-body connection of sleep and deep rest.
She is trained in Clinical Sleep Hypnosis, mental health therapy (specialising in insomnia), and many evidence-based Holistic sleep solutions.
She holds an MSc in Mindfulness-based Clinical Therapy and is a member of both the British Sleep Society and the Royal Society of Medicine, where she has also lectured Psychology students for the past five years on behavioural sleep science. Within her clinical practice, she helps patients focus not just on the time spent in bed but also on the 24-hour cycle of the nervous system.
Now, she brings her expertise to MattressNextDay, helping customers find the right tools for a better night's sleep. She believes that the right mattress is the essential "hardware" for rest, while your habits and mindset are the "software" that makes it all run smoothly.
One of Natalie's most passionate 'insider tips' is the versatile power of the pillow. Whether used for lumbar support, knee alignment, or sensory comfort, she considers them the secret weapon of a good night's sleep, so much so that she never travels without her own.
