All attendees will receive an eBook summary with key information, links and resources, plus a digital wellbeing checklist and a PDF guide to support online learning.
Part 2: Sleep for Better Health, Resilience and Performance
Over 70% of teenagers experience insufficient sleep. This is having a significant impact on many areas of their lives such as:
// Learning and academic performance: Good quality sleep is essential for both pre and post learning. Poor sleep decreases motivation, concentration and memory consolidation.
// Mental health and resilience: Poor sleep negatively impacts relationships, overall mood and can be associated with depression, anxiety, negative body image and low self-esteem.
// Behaviour and decision making: Poor sleep impacts decision making capacity, has a negative effect on behaviour and increases risk of accidents.
// Physical Health: Poor sleep affects children’s physical growth, brain development, immune system and plays a key role in weight gain.
Lisa will explore:
// Create awareness of the level of sleep deprivation among students and the effect this is having on all aspects of their lives.
// Empower participants with the knowledge, practical strategies and tools to make informed decisions regarding their sleep health.
// Equip staff with ideas they can implement, along with options for a whole-school approach to creating a “sleep smart school”.
Lisa looks forward to sharing the “Sleep for Better Health, Resilience and Performance” message with you.
