About

I help high performers sleep, recover and perform at their highest level.

I’m Dessi Reljan — founder of the Extraordinary Sleep Method™, holistic sleep expert, business leader, and mentor for people who carry responsibility, pressure and ambition.

My work is based on a simple truth:
you don’t need a stress-free life to sleep well —
you need a regulated nervous system and aligned rhythms.

​

​

Why this work exists

​

For years, I lived exactly like many of my clients do now.
High functioning. Responsible. Always “on.”
And slowly, silently, exhausted.

Sleep became light, fragmented, unreliable.
Not because I didn’t know what to do —
but because my system never truly switched off.

That experience changed everything.

​

​

From coping to regulation

​

I realised that stress is not the enemy.
Dysregulation is.

You cannot eliminate pressure, leadership or responsibility —
but you can teach your body how to come back to safety, recovery and deep rest.

This understanding led me to combine:

• sleep science and physiology

• nervous-system regulation

• cognitive and emotional state work

• embodiment and internal awareness

• lifestyle alignment for real, demanding lives

This is how the Extraordinary Sleep Method™ was born.

​

​

What makes my approach different

​

I don’t work with hacks, pills or rigid routines.
And I don’t treat sleep as an isolated night problem.

I work with the whole system:
how you think, how you carry stress, how you transition through your day, and how your nervous system receives signals of safety.

My background in embodied state awareness allows me to work not only with habits and knowledge — but with how the body actually experiences rest.

That’s why my clients don’t just sleep better.
They feel clearer, calmer and more grounded during the day.

​

​

Who I work with

​

I work with:
high performers, entrepreneurs, leaders and professionals
who are successful on the outside —
but know their sleep, energy or recovery no longer matches their potential.

People who don’t want quick fixes.
People who value depth, intelligence and sustainability.

​

​

Beyond 1:1 work

​

In addition to private mentorship and self-paced programs, I work with organisations and brands as a Sleep Expert, delivering keynotes, workshops and expert presentations at corporate, medical and industry events.

Whether the focus is team wellbeing, leadership performance or the presentation of sleep-related innovations, my role is always the same:
to bring clarity, credibility and calm authority.

​

​

My philosophy

​

Sleep is not a luxury.
Rest is not weakness.
Recovery is not optional.

When sleep aligns with who you are and how you live,
everything else becomes easier.
