What
Working on a one-to-one basis with a staff member of the Health Improvement Service, our free sleep course lasts four weeks and aims to improve your sleep patterns, behaviours and routines, alongside educating you on good sleep techniques.
Each session lasts 30 minutes.
Everyone is different, and therefore this results in your advice and plan being individualized to suit your needs and requirements.
Why
Sleep is essential for our health and wellbeing, yet millions of us struggle to get enough of it and suffer as a result. 36% of UK adults struggle to get to sleep at least on a weekly basis.
Sleep is not an 'option', it is something our bodies need to do. Sleep helps your brain work properly. While you sleep, your brain is hard at work forming the pathways necessary for learning and creating memories. When we get sufficient sleep we are able to maintain normal levels of cognitive skills. This includes things such as speech and memory as well as our ability to think. Sleep functions also help to repair cell damage and restore energy lost during awakening. Major restorative functions, including tissue repair, muscle growth and growth hormone release, also occur while we sleep. In addition, sleep plays an important role in our physical health and is involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels.
- If you don’t wake up feeling refreshed,
- If you’re not sleeping soundly,
- Or if you are just tired of being tired...
