A mini-series from Professor Jason Ellis, Professor of Sleep Science, Northumbria University.
40% of the adult population suffer with sleep issues impacting on mood, behaviour, ability to concentrate and productivity.
In the module, Professor Jason Ellis provides an introduction to understanding adult sleep, ideal for professionals wanting to expand their knowledge around sleep in adults, and use it to help other areas of their work e.g. supporting adults with autism/ADHD, mental health issues etc.
The module covers:
- What is sleep and what is normal sleep
- Sleep physiology
- How much sleep do adults need
- How do we measure sleep
- Importance of a sleep diary
The Sleep Charity also gives an overview on the causes of sleep issues and identifies practical strategies that adults can try.
