Sleep Action: The UK’s oldest sleep charity
Sleep Action (formerly Sleep Scotland) was founded to address the unmet sleep issues of children in Edinburgh with additional support needs.
Since 1998, we have grown to become the leading provider of sleep support and training across the UK and Ireland. We’ve trained more than 1,500 Sleep Counsellors across the UK and Ireland and supported over 4,000 families through our Scottish Sleep Support Line since 2018.Â
Our approach is based on the latest sleep science supported by over twenty-seven years’ experience, making our guidance easy to understand and apply.Â
It feels I have a different child than I did one year ago. Our Sleep Counsellor was absolutely amazing with me and understood my concerns and struggles! She helped me with such a challenging issue for me as a parent and I will forever remember the help I got. We found strategies that worked and didn’t work. I am so grateful for this service.
Our Sleep Counsellor honestly was a godsend! I had spent almost two years battling with a child who was up 2-6 times a night. She's now sleeping in her own bed and going down within 20 mins of lights out compared the hours I used to sit in her room.
Extremely useful - I have recommended to colleagues to complete the course. From the course materials I have already been able to share tips with families and start sleep assessments/plans.
Fantastic service. I felt I was not being listened to for months by health professionals. The assessment process was very thorough and detailed and gave me a better understanding of my child's sleep and what could affect that. My child is now sleeping so much better which has also been a positive impact on his general mood.
This whole training session has been invaluable and so useful for us in practice. The main thing I'm taking away is to keep applying a sensory lens while talking to families - especially during the sleep assessment phase.
Sleep Action has helped us a lot, we are still in the midst of putting everything into practice and for it all to be working but small steps at a time we are slowly starting to see small changes with [our daughter] & her sleep.
