You were lied to about why you're tired.

It's not stress. It's not the kids. It's not "just life."

~ 80% of people with sleep apnoea are never diagnosed - and women are missed the most. I'm a sleep researcher. This is what nobody checked for. Take the free 5-min AWAKE Check - link in bio.

You’ve completed the INFORMED CPD activity about sleep?

Now I want to hear from you.

Sleep support in community pharmacy is inconsistent - and we all know it could be so much better.

But what’s really standing in the way?

I’m listening to pharmacists, technicians, and contractors to hear firsthand:

⚫ What’s working - and what isn’t

⚫ The real pressures behind the counter

⚫ How sleep support can be made practical, not theoretical

These short conversations will directly inform (see what I did there?!):

⚫ Future CPD and learning materials

⚫ Sleep education for student pharmacists

⚫ A published article - and

⚫ Pressure for system-wide change

Your voice can shape how pharmacy tackles sleep disorders - and make sure we’re not doing it in isolation.

Up for a short chat?

Think you can catch up on sleep at the weekend?

Think again.

I didn’t set out to sleep in this Sunday -
But without the usual early train thundering past, I did.

And it reminded me of a common myth I hear all the time:

That we can repay sleep debt by lying in on weekends.

❌ Not true.

And for pharmacy teams, this misunderstanding can impact how pharmacy teams assess and support patients with sleep issues.

As a sleep and pharmacy expert, I’ve seen firsthand how better sleep knowledge leads to better clinical decision-making.

⚫ Want to understand how sleep really works?

⚫ Keen to make more confident calls on sleep-related conditions?

⚫ Need CPD that’s relevant and practical?

You’ll find all that in this short learning activity - built specifically for community pharmacy teams.

Curious how one myth could be influencing your clinical decisions?
