Sleep Support:
We are often told by parents that their child experiences difficulty sleeping. We know that poor sleep has a direct impact on behaviour, ability to concentrate, academic achievement and general wellbeing. This is also an issue for some of our parents and carers. At any given time up to 40% of adults and 50% of children (this rises to 80% with a SEND diagnosis) have difficulties with their sleep. Yet in a recent survey, almost 60% of adults felt there was a lack of support for sleep issues.
The National Sleep Helpline is run by a team of specialist trained sleep advisors. Although they cannot give medical advice, they can talk through your issues, offer you some practical strategies and recommend services that could help.
