Free online courses to help you improve your sleep
On the run up to World Sleep Day (19 March) Wellbeing Suffolk is encouraging anyone who is experiencing problems with their sleep to attend an online webinar.
Sleep problems are very common and affect people in different ways. Some people have problems getting off to sleep. Some find it hard to stay asleep; waking often or waking up early. And some have problems getting back to sleep.
Local Wellbeing services are offering a range of free webinars to help people better understand and manage their sleep.
Improving your sleep – a two-hour webinar is running every Tuesday from 10:00 to 12:00.Book online at www.wellbeingnands.co.uk or by calling 0300 123 1503
Improving your sleep is a live online presentation, where you log in on your computer, phone or tablet. You can ask questions to the facilitator in real time via a chat function that is private and not visible to the rest of the group.
Parents worried about their child’s sleep can attend a ‘supporting your child to sleep’ webinar. This webinar will provide strategies for parents to support their child to sleep.
Supporting your Child to Sleep runs once a month.

Nesta Reeve, consultant clinical psychologist said:
“We can all relate to feeling tired and run down if we don’t get enough sleep. But, not getting enough sleep over a longer period of time can have a big impact on our physical and mental health.
“Our online webinars are full of hints, tips and strategies to help people improve the quality of their sleep.”
