Sleep Smart: How to unleash the power of sleep for health, happiness and performance
At exam time it can feel as though there is always pressure to be doing more. Many of us cut back on sleep with the best of intentions, without recognising the hidden costs that could sabotage performance and make us feel more anxious. In this session we’ll explore how our sleep and wake patterns impact on learning, creativity and relationships. We’ll explore the unique sleep challenges faced by teenagers, and how to use evidence-based techniques to optimise the timing and quality of your sleep.
