Sleep well – session to improve your sleep this December
Our sleep is so important, we may have late nights and additional stress over the Christmas period, which can have an impact on sleep - so it’s more important than ever to prioritise our sleep this December.
Sleep plays an important part in good health and wellbeing. The way you feel whilst awake is influenced by how well you are sleeping.
During sleep, your body works to support healthy brain function and maintain your physical health.
How many hours of sleep do I need?
A healthy adult usually needs around 7 to 9 hours of sleep. However, age, health and personal circumstances affect how much sleep we need, plus some people naturally sleep more than others.
Teenagers, children and babies need more sleep because they are still growing, but that varies, too, with a newborn sleeping anywhere between 8 to 16 hours.
Our Wellbeing team are holding a Sleep Well session on Monday 22 December for colleagues who would like to know the processes behind sleep and be able to apply this to enhance their sleep experience, and regulate sleep patterns.
The session is approximately 1 hour long and will be on MS Teams. Join here: Book a place for this session
