"Shannon’s course is absolutely incredible! I not only came away with invaluable information that will make me an effective sleep consultant but also with all the business information to really set myself up for success from the get-go.
I love how the lessons are organized so you can already work on setting up your business as you are learning the ins and outs of sleep! The reason I chose this course was because of the emphasis it has on business building as this was totally new territory for me and I couldn’t be happier! I feel totally confident in my sleep knowledge and have a business that is ready to go. Working with Shannon is a dream and I couldn’t recommend her course more!"

Q
You can achieve certification in just 3–6 months, depending on your pacing and dedication. What sets our program apart is that by the time you’re certified, you’ll also have a thriving business up and running. Unlike traditional certification programs, which may certify you in 2–6 weeks but leave you to figure out the business side on your own, we provide the tools, guidance, and support to help you launch and grow your business alongside earning your certification.
How long does the program take?
While we can’t guarantee specific earnings, many Sleep Consultants achieve a full- or part-time income with consistency, dedication, and the right mindset. Building a successful business takes time and effort, but we’re here to support you every step of the way. A realistic goal for your first year, working part-time and applying the strategies taught in our program, is to generate $3–$4k per month in revenue. Keep in mind, your income will depend on factors like the services you offer, your pricing, and the hours you choose to work.
How much money can I make as a Sleep Consultant?
Yes! We offer a limited number of partial scholarships based on financial hardship or underrepresented populations within the industry including women who are BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+. If you would like to discuss applying for a partial scholarship, please email shannon@nightsandnaps.com. Please note we do not offer full scholarships.
Do you offer any scholarship opportunities?
Hey, I'm Shannon Buhera
I am a former elementary school teacher that took my Sleep Consulting business from side hustle to full time income within one year and now I'm coaching others on how to grow their business with their specific goals, their time, and their revenue in mind.
I didn’t have the network (friends or local community) that could lead me to regular client referrals so instead I’ve been able to leverage social media. In less than two years on TikTok, I hit 100k followers and started to master video content as a way to connect, build trust, provide value, and generate leads.
As much as I love Sleep Consulting, Business Coaching is my jam! I love empowering women with the strategy so they can go out and hit their goals. If I’m not working, you’ll find me playing with kiddos or planning our next vacation with my husband.
