Will you come to bed with me? I can’t tell you how many times I have heard this sentence. I teach people to relax. It seems that the gift that has been given to me is to send people to sleep. After teaching a Yoga class and giving my yogis a lovely down-time session, one of the first things people say is… ‘will you come to bed with me?’ I look at them sweetly and they suddenly realise what they have said, after they stop being all flustered, they tell me how much trouble they have falling asleep, or going back to sleep after waking at 3am, and they relax so easily with my voice. I was once rung in the middle of the day by a stranger on the other side of the world who was suffering 3 days of jet lag, they had been told I could put them to sleep… yep, nighty nighty. After teaching a Yoga class I would go home at night and my son would say ‘will you come to bed with me?’ We were still recovering from a very troublesome time since his birth, and we got into the habit of sleeping together, as he had to sleep upright, so I held onto him. We all do what we have to do to get by, but times change and we don’t have to hold onto these habits, unless they continue to be what’s right for us at that particular moment. I have now taught him his own relaxation techniques, so he is comfortable sleeping by himself. He still has troubles waking up at night, and we are currently doing the exact techniques I am going to teach you. Here’s hoping it will set him up for the rest of his life, just as it has with my eldest. So, will YOU come to bed with me?

I met Victoria Yuen many years ago when we were both at a women’s well being day. She is a yoga teacher and a passionate advocate for calmness like myself. In her uniquely light hearted, sometimes cheeky way she has written a delightful book to help tame the stressed out grown ups who struggle in our chaotic world.
Her techniques have helped lots of people - and children - get more sleep and live healthier lives. “Will you Come to Bed with Me?” is a rare gem.

Victoria was a stressed-out schoolteacher and Mum to two babes, doing the best she could and running herself ragged doing it. After a lifetime of stress-related illnesses and being told by the specialist that she had had too many stomach operations and would have to spend much of her time on morphine for the rest of her life, she decided to make a change.
