How well do you sleep? Breathing difficulties, Sleep apnoea, restless legs, tossing and turning, thoughts going around your head?

Sleep Hygiene focuses on developing healthy sleep habits and routines to enable a good night’s sleep. It works alongside our relaxation and anxiety management modules as all of these areas are connected and influence one another, so for best results they need to be addressed together rather than independently. Positive Sleep Hygiene, relaxation and anxiety management techniques combined with gentle exercise can help achieve and maintain a better night’s sleep.
