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.

This event will be hosted on Thursday, 10th 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™”.
There is no registration for the event - open door for all to attend, just arrive on time to make use of the full range of resources and events on the day.
