A national, award-winning charity empowering the nation to sleep better
We are one of the leading, independent expert voices on sleep issues in the UK and we are here to help everyone get a better night’s sleep. Whether it’s advice, education or support for children, teenagers, adults, workplaces or professionals, we are on hand with expert knowledge, resources and accredited training.
It’s time to wake up to sleep.
Our Aims
Sleep deprivation can have a serious impact on emotional, physical and mental health and many people who are seeking our support are approaching crisis point, whether that’s adults or families.
We aim to provide access to high quality information and advice to deal with most sleep issues, and ensure everyone understands the value of a good night’s sleep. We also campaign for improvements to the support available as well as providing accredited training for professionals so they can offer sleep support to the people they work with.
Our Work
Our work is about helping everyone to sleep better, regardless of their age, background or ability. We do this by working collaboratively, lobbying government, investing in research, building partnerships with organisations and offering a range of services including working directly with parents, offering workshops/webinars to corporate organisations and training professionals in the NHS and other health organisations.
All our work is based on the latest research and we have a team of experts who input into our projects, training materials and courses.
