I am struggling to sleep. What support is available to me?

If you are experiencing issues surrounding sleep, there are multiple avenues of support available to you. You can find information and advice, as well as tips to help improve your sleep, though websites such as Mind, NHS Every Mind Matters, and Sleep Council. 

Many people find mindfulness to be a beneficial tool in improving overall quality of sleep. You can access free resources including meditations, reading materials and lessons in mindful meditation via the Mindful Study space on SurreyLearn. 

However, if you find that your problems with sleep are affecting your day-to-day life or causing you distress, it may be a good idea to call NHS 111 or book an appointment with your GP.
