Sleep deprivation costs employers
$1,967 per employee per year.
Most of that loss is invisible. It shows up as poor decisions, low energy, and teams running on empty, and nobody connects it to sleep. Dr. Darley delivers virtual lunch-and-learn sessions that give employees a working understanding of their sleep biology and what to do about it. 60 minutes on Zoom. No travel. No venue logistics.

- Sleep as a Leadership Skill
“One of our highest-rated continuing education speakers — excellent rapport with students in both live and online settings. She provides research and evidence to support specific sleep interventions, as well as specific, actionable information.”
Dr. Catherine Darley, ND
Catherine Darley, ND, is a leader in natural sleep medicine, combining her knowledge of sleep and circadian disorders with her training as a naturopathic physician to bridge the two fields. An estimated 35% of people live with sleep complaints, yet most have never been given the information they need to sleep well.
Dr. Darley works to uplift sleep through her online programs at Skilled Sleeper. In 2003 she founded the Institute of Naturopathic Sleep Medicine in Seattle, dedicated to patient care, public education about sleep health, and consultation with high-risk populations such as first responders.
She regularly writes articles and speaks for professional audiences, and has served as adjunct faculty at Bastyr University and National University of Natural Medicine. In her personal time, Catherine advocates for later secondary school start times and enjoys being outside in nature.
