University Mental Health Day: Sleep Workshop for Postgraduate Researchers
On 14 March we will be celebrating University Mental Health Day and this year’s theme is Sleep.
Sleep can be a common issue, particularly for PGRs whose working patterns mean that it can be difficult to stick to a routine. In this workshop, we welcome the counselling service to talk about how sleep issues affect us and how we might improve our sleep if it is becoming a persistent problem. The workshop will explore ways to retrain our sleep patterns and start getting a better night’s sleep. The workshop will be followed by wellbeing activities in the Hive with our PGR Welfare and EDI officers, along with the Support and Wellbeing Team.
If you can’t make it, you can also join the sleep webinar taking place on Wednesday 20 March.

Sleep Workshop
Not being able to relax/sleep is a problem – drain on a resource – this workshop offers ways to look at the problems and introduce ideas/places to begin changing/experimenting. Sleep and relaxation issues are largely a modern problem – as we have altered our patterns of living that quite often go against our natural rhythms and ways of being.
This workshop will allow us to explore ways to ‘Switch Off’.
