“I'm not here to diagnose you. I'm here to support a practical, evidence-based change in how you view and live around sleep.”
JULIE HIGNETT | Cert Sleep Coach CMA, NCCAP, IPHM
My background isn't in clinical medicine. I worked for many years in a world of commercial investment, high-stakes, with relentless demands and the kind of pressure that can follow you home long after the working day has ended.
I understand the pressures of demanding environments. My studies in sociology and philosophy have helped greatly throughout my life, yet they have also shown me something important: recognising our need to slow down and actually knowing how to do so are two very different things.

Our Client’s Journey Through Our Five-Week Bespoke Sleep Coaching Programme
Quieting the Mind, Restoring Sleep | David's Story
Unlike clients whose sleep is disrupted by the changing demands of family life, David already had a consistent daily routine. His challenge wasn't a lack of structure, but a mind that struggled to settle at night.
Through VIGIL's personalised five-week programme, we focused on practical techniques to quieten racing thoughts, shift his mindset around sleep and develop a more peaceful approach to bedtime.
David progressed from 2–4 hours of broken sleep to 4 or more hours of uninterrupted sleep on most nights. - Thats remarkable!
At VIGIL, no two sleep journeys are the same. Sometimes the answer isn't changing your routine, but changing your relationship with your thoughts.
Finding Peace Within Family Life | Annelise's Story
As a busy mum, Annelise discovered that better sleep didn't require changing her family's habits or creating a perfectly quiet home. Through consistent routines, reflective journalling and a shift in mindset, she began to reclaim restful sleep.
At VIGIL, we don't need to eliminate natural rhythms of family life to cultivate peace within it. Sometimes, the greatest change isn't in our surroundings, but in how we learn to live within them.
What If Better Sleep Isn't About Trying Harder?
Sleep isn't something we can force into happening. At VIGIL, we explore how racing thoughts, chronic pain, ageing, shift work, OCD and ADHD, along with everyday stress and overlooked habits, may be interfering with your natural ability to rest. Sometimes, progress begins not by adding more to your day, but by recognising what you can let go of. What we sometimes need isn't another piece of advice but a coach to support the journey to change and guide us as we make meaningful changes and find a better way forward.
What if you've been approaching sleep from the wrong direction?
At Vigil, rather than concentrating solely on what happens at bedtime, we consider you a whole person, within your whole day and within your weekly routine. Your mindset, daily rhythms, timely nutrients, environment and responsibilities all have a place in the conversation. Through personalised online sleep coaching, we help you discover practical changes that fit your life.
What if the secret to sleep isn't a secret at all?
For centuries, ancient wisdom has recognised the value of stillness, moderation, rhythm and rest. VIGIL brings these principles together with modern sleep knowledge. A salutogenic approach that considers what aids wellbeing, rather than focusing only on what has gone wrong.
And what if sleep was never meant to be another achievement to master?
We believe sleep is a gift, not a reward for perfect performance. A gift invites us into a different relationship with rest, one shaped by trust rather than striving.
