Are you looking for a better night's sleep? The Western Health and
Social Care Trust (Western Trust) and The Derry GP Federation are
hosting an exciting event focused on helping achieve that.
The event is intended for all - anyone with impaired sleep through
insomnia, chronic conditions, shift work or help with children's
sleep.
This event will be hosted on Thursday, 10^th October 2024, Foyle Arena
1.30pm - 5.00pm to coincide with World Mental Health Day, drawing
attention to the strong links between better sleep and improved health
and wellbeing.
We know that our population are significantly affected by insomnia.
Approximately 25% of men and 40-50% of women experience insomnia at
some point in their lives. Children are also affected with 38% having
had a problem with sleep in 3 of the last 7 nights*.
At Better Sleep & You, you'll learn tips and tricks from specialists to
develop an evidence based approach to improving sleep quality. You can
connect with local services that can assist with your sleep and get
advice on a range of issues related to poor sleep.
There will also be breakout rooms providing advice on sleep affected by
shift work, chronic conditions, children’s sleep and exercise to
promote better sleep.
The event will be finished off with a key note address from Dr David
Lee of Sleep Unlimited titled: “A time and need for REST™”.
