Today is World Sleep Day 😴this year theme is Make Sleep Health a Priority. Lack of sleep can affect your physical, mental, and social wellbeing.

Loosing out on a bit of sleep (even half an hour) every night adds up over time. Sleep and mood affect each other, not getting enough sleep can take its toll on your mind.

Young people have shared some tips they would say to a friend who was struggling with their sleep. NHS Dumfries & Galloway
