Seride Samurkaş

Seride Samurkaş is a Sleep Health Specialist based in Istanbul, working with adults experiencing chronic insomnia, circadian rhythm difficulties, and behavioral sleep challenges. She is the first CBT-I provider from Turkey to be listed in the International Directory of CBT-I Providers. With more than 15 years of experience in sleep health, including her pioneering work in pediatric sleep coaching in Turkey, she brings a broad lifespan perspective to sleep difficulties.

Her approach is structured, individualized, and evidence-informed. She combines CBT-I principles with a broader understanding of sleep timing, daily routines, environmental factors, nutrition-related patterns, lifestyle habits, and possible underlying contributors to sleep problems.

For adults struggling with insomnia, Seride works through a careful assessment process to identify the behavioral, cognitive, circadian, and lifestyle patterns that may be maintaining sleeplessness. Her aim is not to offer generic sleep advice, but to support long-term, sustainable change through a practical and collaborative process.

Before expanding her work under her own name, Seride founded Uyku Meleği, one of Turkey’s most recognized sleep brands. Through this work, she supported thousands of families and contributed to the professional development of sleep coaching in Turkey.

Seride provides consultations in Turkish and English, online and in person in Istanbul.
