Getting enough sleep is essential to enable us to be healthy, promoting our growth and development, and supporting us to engage effectively in essential and desired everyday activity.
We can often experience difficulties with sleep, including settling to sleep, night waking, and early morning waking. Consequently, this can impact negatively on our daytime functioning and well-being.
Rhona trained as a sleep counsellor with Sleep Scotland in 2010 and since this time has successfully embedded this into her practice as an Occupational Therapist with children, young people, and adults, and has lectured in this field.
