The Sleep Charity - Sleep Champion Workshop

This training course is designed for professionals working in secondary schools. Research shows that sleep patterns alter during puberty meaning youngsters often don’t fall asleep until much later at night. This can result in difficulties waking in the morning and sleep deprivation impacting on their education.

This course outlines the reasons for the sleep issues, practical strategies to support youngsters to improve their sleep and useful resources to start conversations with young people, information that can be shared with them and parents/carers and a downloadable assembly presentation.

Schools interested in improving attendance and attainment will benefit from having a Sleep Champion amongst their team.
