WEBINAR: Insomnia - 15th July 2020

Insomnia

Disturbed sleep has a major negative impact on sense of well-being and overall health. Different types of insomnia affect over 30% of the UK population over the span of a year.

Older people appear more vulnerable to persistent insomnia. Research reveals that the common problems of insomnia, pain, and psychological distress are intertwined and suggest that combined approaches to treatment may be needed to reduce the onset and persistence of these problems. Alongside sound sleep hygiene, targeted nutritional therapy can have significant benefits to those seeking to resolve insomnia.
