Heal Your Sleep,
Heal your Life.
A 7-Week Journey to Deeper, More Restorative Sleep
With Dr. Afrouz Demeri
STARTS ON Monday November 3rd, 2025
If your mind won’t turn off at night, if your energy crashes mid-afternoon, or if you’ve forgotten what it feels like to wake up truly refreshed… this 7-week Sleep As Medicine Workshop is for you.
In this workshop, Dr. Afrouz Demeri will show you how to get the best sleep of your life. You will learn how to turn your bed into a sanctuary of healing and restorative rest, remembering how to sleep like a baby. As your body begins to regain the vitality and vibrance of your youth, sleep – and the medicine it holds – will become your greatest ally.
Dr. Demeri will meet you where you are on your unique sleep journey – whether you are just looking for an extra hour or two each night, or working to heal more serious insomnia. This workshop is designed to give you your own personal roadmap – weaving together daily practices, nightly rituals, herbal allies, supplements, mindfulness exercises, and inner healing work to turn each night into a full mind and body reset.
Sleep is the most important thing that you can do at night. Without a full 8-hour descent into restorative and revelatory shuteye, all kinds of things can get out of whack with your mental and physical health.
Not enough sleep means your body can’t fully repair itself each day, your stress hormones can’t properly detox from your system, your joints and muscles can’t recover, and your brain isn’t able to cool down from the heat of the day… leading to inflammation and disease conditions.
On the other hand, GOOD SLEEP IS MEDICINE. But we must attend to it, nourish it, encourage it… which is exactly what we will be doing in this workshop.
As we progress through each week, we will begin to unpack the more subtle energies that are at play within you, waiting to be acknowledged and worked with. These complex undercurrents are often disrupting your rest in order to get your attention.
By bringing a holistic eye to your sleep story, you will gain new understandings about the interconnectedness of all aspects of your health. This life is a spiritual training ground and all of its challenges, health or otherwise, are opportunities for deeper wisdom about who you are.
Together, we will learn to listen to the voice within and plot a new way forward. To better sleep and to a better life.

As a busy working mom, I thought exhaustion was just part of life. Dr. D showed me how to sync my sleep with my hormones and my lifestyle. The progesterone has been a life changer! I now also have a bedtime ritual I actually look forward to! I feel calmer, more grounded, and my skin and hair even looks better. It’s like I got my spark back after having 3 kids.

After menopause, I thought restless nights were just something I had to accept. This program helped me understand my body’s rhythms and gave me tools that actually work. I’m sleeping deeper, dreaming again, and even my daytime fatigue has lifted. I feel like myself again — rested, joyful, and alive. And a bonus that came from it, my weight and osteoporosis have reversed from the hormonal help!

Here's what will be covered in each of the 7 WEEKS:
Week 01
Know Your Sleep Story - What's Really Going On?
We begin this 7-week journey by uncovering your unique sleep story. Instead of chasing quick fixes, this first week is about slowing down and listening to the wisdom of your nights. It’s about getting real honest with yourself and observing the choices you make daily that affect your nights—without judgement.
Together, we’ll explore the root causes of sleeplessness — from adrenal fatigue, hormonal transitions, and emotional stress to the hidden myths about sleep that may be shaping your experience. You’ll learn about sleep architecture (the stages of healing your body cycles through each night), as well as the two powerful forces that govern rest: sleep drive and circadian rhythm.
By the week’s end, you’ll have identified the key lifestyle factors most affecting your rest and taken your first steps toward deep, restorative sleep.
Week 02
Circadian Magic – Aligning with Nature’s Clock
At the heart of sleep is circadian rhythm — the ancient dance between light and dark that governs every cell of our being. This week, we’ll explore your body’s internal timekeeper—and how to realign it with the cycles of nature.
Did you know each organ has its own circadian rhythm too? Dr. Demeri will unpack that and suggest some home tests to measure yours. We’ll explore how melatonin and cortisol — your primary sleep-wake hormones — create the daily flow of energy and rest.
You’ll discover why morning sunlight is the most powerful medicine for setting your day in motion, and how evening rituals of dimming light and slowing down invite melatonin to rise. We’ll talk about the hidden ways blue light, irregular schedules, and late-night stimulants sabotage rest — and how to gently bring your system back into flow.
Week 03
Nourish to Restore – Foods, Herbs & Supplements That Heal Sleep
As Dr. Demeri says, “food is information.” What and when we eat shapes how we sleep. Blood sugar swings, late-night sugar indulgences, and caffeine are some of the most common (and sneaky) culprits behind restless nights.
This week we’ll explore how stabilizing protein at dinner, balancing complex carbs with healthy fats, and choosing tryptophan-rich foods can help your body produce the serotonin and melatonin it needs for rest. You’ll also learn why calming minerals like magnesium and amino acids like GABA and L-theanine are powerful allies.
Through simple rituals like sipping golden milk, preparing a tart cherry elixir, or using specific herbs, you’ll begin to feel how food and plants gently guide the nervous system toward calm. By the week’s end, you’ll have crafted your own nourishing evening menu for truly restorative sleep.
Week 04
Hormones in Harmony – Finding Balance Within Life's Rhythms
This week we shine a light on the intricate dance between hormones and sleep. If you’ve ever tossed and turned during perimenopause, woken at 3 a.m. with racing thoughts, or felt wired but tired at night, your hormones may be the hidden key.
We’ll explore how estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, insulin, and thyroid function influence your body’s circadian rhythm, mood, and melatonin levels. You’ll learn why progesterone is often called the “zen hormone,” how declining estrogen can disrupt serotonin and sleep quality, and why balancing cortisol is essential for deep rest.
Through simple tools like toning the vagus nerve, Dr. Demeri’s Online Hormone Quiz, and an introduction to functional testing, you’ll begin to decode your own patterns. You’ll also discover food-based allies like flax, tempeh, and omega-3s, alongside practices that naturally enhance progesterone and reduce inflammation. By the end of the week, you’ll understand how to bring your hormones into harmony — and reclaim your nights.
Week 05
Clear the Clutter – Environmental & Physical Barriers to Sleep
Your bedroom should be a sanctuary — a sacred space where your body and mind can fully let go. Yet for many of us, hidden disruptors in our environment quietly sabotage our rest. This week is about clearing both the visible and invisible clutter that keeps you from deep sleep.
We’ll explore how light, noise, allergens, mold, and even electromagnetic fields can interfere with your circadian rhythm and nervous system. You’ll learn how issues like histamine intolerance, apnea, or partner disturbances may be affecting your nights without you realizing it. Together, we’ll create a framework for a true sleep sanctuary: cool, dark, quiet, and free of unnecessary stimulation.
Through a guided bedroom audit and simple practices like powering down WiFi at night, adjusting bedding, working with flower essences and cleansing your space, you’ll transform your environment into a restorative haven. By the week’s end, you’ll feel the difference of sleeping in a space designed to be “the charging station for your soul,” as Dr. Demeri puts it.
Week 06
Dreamwork – Listening to the Voice Within
Sleep is not only a time for rest — it is also a gateway. This week, we’ll enter the realm of dreams, those nightly stories that rise from the subconscious to guide, reveal, and heal as Dr. Demeri guides us through learning to speak Dream-ish, or the language of our dreams.
Far from random, dreams hold meaning and medicine. They can illuminate the parts of ourselves we’ve forgotten, offer clarity on life’s challenges, and connect us to something larger than the waking mind. Together, we’ll practice setting intentions before sleep, learning simple ways to recall and record dreams upon waking, and noticing the emotions and images that carry hidden wisdom.
We’ll also explore “state checks” — small daily practices that heighten awareness and deepen your connection between waking and dream life. By the end of the week, you’ll not only sleep with more reverence, but awaken to the truth that each dream is an invitation: a conversation with your inner self. How will you respond?
Week 07
Sleep is Sacred – Integrating the New You
In our final week together, we’ll gather everything we’ve explored and weave it into a rhythm you can carry forward for life. As Dr. Demeri says, “Sleep is not just recovery — it is revelation.” Rather than viewing sleep in separate parts — hormones, nutrition, light, dreams — we’ll learn how to synthesize it all into a sacred rhythm shaped by ritual and intention.
This integration process invites us to return to a timeless tradition: the way many ancient cultures honored evening rituals as offerings to the self. Night after night, these small ceremonies became moments to surrender, restore, and welcome the wisdom of dreams. Building on this lineage, you’ll craft your own Five Sense Sleep Ritual, transforming ordinary evenings into a sacred invitation for rest. Together, we’ll explore how gratitude, prayer, sound healing, and gentle yin movements can open the heart and prepare the body for deep, restorative sleep.
Your capstone practice will be writing your Sleep Manifesto: a declaration that honors your nights as holy ground for healing, renewal, and connection. By integrating body, mind, and spirit, you’ll emerge not only sleeping better, but living with greater trust, love, and radiant vitality.
Dr. Afrouz is a pioneer in natural medicine and her years of clinical practice and teaching places her as a leader for all looking to live a vital life. She is however much more than the medicine she prescribes – her personality, caring nature and view on mental, emotional and spiritual well being is rare to find in a doctor. I highly recommend working with her!
