TAoFA is different than any other sleep model you have come across. It presents you with entirely new but biologically accurate perspectives, making the process very intuitive, simple, and effective,
when properly understood.

Welcome to TAoFA — a 24-hour transformational modality for sleeping and living in alignment with your soul’s blueprint.
After years of struggling with insomnia, I discovered that sleep isn’t just something we do at night - it’s a 24-hour integration of who we really are. That realization led me to create The Art of Falling Asleep (TAoFA) - a soulful, intuitive approach that helps people reconnect with the deeper intelligence of Body, Mind, Spirit, and Soul.
TAoFA is not another method for fixing sleep. It’s a transformative sleep model that rewrites the foundational principles behind the sleep process itself. It offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between your Mind and Body as you approach sleep - how their roles may differ from what you've been taught, and how this insight shapes the spiritual dimension of your ritual.
Our foundational principles reveals how TAoFA is a frequency-change model, not a relaxation method or a form of mind-training. This distinction is central and is the core construct TAoFA is here to offer you.
This is significant because since you are not trying to put the Mind to sleep. You will not repeat any of the strategies or techniques that you've tried before. Instead, you become a sleep facilitator on behalf of you Body. You will step into the practice of aligning consciousness between your Mind and your Body, one of inner alchemy. This is what creates frequency change. This is the space I am holding for you to gently begin sleeping better in. You will learn how to organize energy by communicating trust, safety, and permission through a simple but powerful ritual, changing energetic frequencies and harmonizing with your authentic-self as a result.
- Derek Lacey, TAoFA Founder
The Problem TAoFA addresses:
Modern life has disrupted the natural codes of sleep. People arrive at bedtime sleepy but energetically disorganized, carrying a tension that once belonged to another time of day, resulting in “minimal survival sleep.” Consequently, they either struggle to fall asleep or fall asleep quickly - only to wake up after just a few hours and find it difficult to return to sleep.
The Solution TAoFA provides:
TAoFA guides you to resolve that tension before bed in order to experience frequency change - the result of your Body becoming organized, made to feel safe, and energetically available to sleep. This process “remembers” a lost frequency of sleep that not only contains more meaningful sleep, but invites an experience that continues into your day - one of deeper alignment, clarity, and soul-led purpose. This experience of day enhances both spiritual connection and the body’s natural process for making energy (ATP), resulting in an individualized chemical byproduct that ensures true, deep sleep.

Testimonials
My experience with The Art of Falling Asleep was life changing and very likely lifesaving. After a series of traumatic events over a very short period of time in 2023 I was a broken, incoherent shell of a human being. I slept two to four hours a night, ate very little, and couldn’t put two thoughts together.
Derek, with great patience, helped me put myself back together in a new and far more glorious incarnation, and along the way I found myself led to a spiritual path that will sustain me for the rest of this life.
I cannot fully articulate all the magic within myself The Art of Falling Asleep has allowed me to access, the alchemy we all carry within us to change our trajectory and reach higher than we’d ever dreamed. But if you struggle with sleep and are reading these words, you have found the space you’ve been searching for, and I encourage you to come home to yourself.

TAoFA Guiding Principles
Every functional system hinges on strong, deeply vetted principles. From here, alignment is foundational and the simplest practices can now have the greatest impact.
The principles discussed below serve to honor sleep in the most biologically and spiritually harmonious way, so that The Sleep Ritual can be effective and energetically efficient.
We invite you to explore these conversations and reflect on this approach to sleep. If it feels aligned - both in heart and mind - it’s a beautiful sign you’re in the right place.
