  • We were so fortunate to have Dr Afolabi-Brown speak at the 21 Day Christian Woman’s Health Challenge and Transformation. Dr. Afolabi-Brown helped us understand the fundamentals of sleep and the importance of creating a sleep enhancing bedroom. Her instructions for fashioning a better sleep environment are reasonable and easily implemented. I learned so much from her tips on how to increase melatonin levels, the body’s natural sleep inducing hormone. If you are looking for a physician expert in sleep medicine to help you or a family member, look no further.

  • “Dr. Brown is amazing to work with! She is an excellent speaker and really taught our students in a way that was easy to understand but full of evidence-based information! She went above and beyond—we can’t wait to work with her again!”

    — ASHLEY OLSON, HEAVEN SENT SLEEP

  • “When I’m tired, it’s often difficult to choose between what’s best and what’s easiest for my life. Easiest gets the upper hand. So, if I really want to make something out of this life God has given me - and I do - I need to learn how to utilize the rhythms of hard work and rest. When I’m not rested, I don’t have the emotional, physical, and mental strength to be present & say “yes! I’m going to do what’s best for my life, not what’s easiest.” I thought of you after I wrote this - another plug for the work you’re doing with Restful Sleep and how important it is to living our best life.”

  • "After working my way through the Sleep in Teens Course, I have a better and more in depth understanding of things such as technology use and the lack of sleep pressure that affects my sleep and overall health. There was a lot of information about bad sleep habits and useful tips for better sleep that I had no knowledge about prior to taking the course. I will definitely be implementing the information I've learned and the Restful Sleep diary into my daily routine!"

  • Sleep never had been an issue for me until I became a mother. My first child was calm, regimented and had his inbuilt fixed snooze alarm time, which helped me focus on other chores, but he was an early riser. Then comes along my second child, who is full of zest and life tries to keep up with her, even in her sleep (smile!). A late nighter and an early riser with a twice wake up buzzer in between the time she shots her eyes to her final waking up. Now that actually made me climb up the roof 'clawed', frequently At my wits ends along came Dr Brown, who calmly listened, teased out some faults, encouraged and helped me set some plans/goals to help her with a routine and sleep hygiene that would help readjust her activities for the day and sleep. She emphasized on the ," *not going to be easy times* , *don't be too hard on yourself if it fails with the back to the drawing board attitude* ", and *the need to be willing and determined for a change on my part.* Dr Brown guaranteed, I would see a difference and she was absolutely right. I am indeed grateful for her counsel.

  • Sustainable, good quality sleep.

    It’s been a few weeks since I’ve completed sleep coaching with Funke Afolabi-brown Restful Sleep MD. Through her coaching, I was not only able get good quality sleep, but kept it sustainable. Now I am feeling more productive than ever.

    After 7 years of my kids crawling into my bed every night, turning and kicking me, my daughter is finally sleep-trained!!! She no longer disrupts my sleep. Dr Funke guided me on how to sleep train my daughter.

    So, if you are a woman looking to use the power of good quality sleep to increase your productivity, Dr Funke is the one to help you!

  • My husband and I felt like we were in survival mode. One day was blurring into the next, and we were constantly exhausted. Working with Dr Funke, we were able to recognize sleep disturbances for our boys we hadn't even thought of, and interruptions that we had been contributing to. We now have a solid routine as a family and are getting the boys down for a solid 10-11 hours every night! We also recognized that we needed to adjust our own bedtime routine and this has also helped immensely. Thank you Dr Funke!
