Sleep Hygiene Workshop

This workshop will focus on helping you to get more sleep, and get a better quality of sleep. During the workshop, we will share information about sleep and the effects of poor sleep on different aspects of your life, such as how it affects concentration and mood. You will see how poor sleep is affected by what you do, how you think, and your feelings (things like stress and anxiety), and how these are all connected to each other.

The workshop will cover sleep behaviours – to improve your sleep schedule and develop a healthy and natural sleep pattern. Your thinking –how unhelpful beliefs about sleep can add to a sleep problem, and also help you to manage worries and a ‘racing-mind’ that can keep you from sleeping well. Your feelings –why it’s difficult to feel sleepy at the right time of day, help you to develop a plan for ‘winding-down’ for bedtime, and teach you some techniques for relaxing so that sleep comes more easily. Finally, we will look at how it all comes together and encourage you to develop a realistic plan to improve your own sleep.

This wellbeing workshop is delivered as a small group via Microsoft Teams and is free for all residents of the London Borough of Sutton or those registered with a Sutton GP who are over the age of 18.
