National Sleep Helpline - The Sleep Charity

National Sleep Helpline - The Sleep Charity logo

At any given time up to 40% of adults and 50% of children (this rises to 80% with a SEND diagnosis) have difficulties with their sleep. Yet in a recent survey, almost 60% of adults felt there was a lack of support for sleep issues.

Sleep problems can leave people feeling isolated and lonely. Our free helpline is run by trained sleep advisors, many of whom are specialists in working with SEND. We can talk to young people directly, or parents (we can also talk to adults, including older people, about their sleep issues).

The Helpline is open 3 nights a week, on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 7pm to 9pm and on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9am to 11am. The number is 03303 530 541. You can read more here: https://thesleepcharity.org.uk/national-sleep-helpline/
