Latest statistics suggest that approximately one third of young people consider themselves to have a sleep problem.
In addition, research indicates that up to 80% of young people who are neurodiverse have problems with sleep. Sixty percent of young people state that they use their phone at night. There is a dearth of reliable accessible information for parents and carers to help with sleep problems. Once a problem develops few have the skills to effectively tackle the problem before it becomes chronic. There are real benefits to addressing the elements that impair sleep through Hunrosa sleep programmes and by using the Sleep Wise app and Sleep Right training knowledge.
Evidence
We know that by treating sleep there are considerable cost benefits to be gained as health improves more quickly and prescribing is reduced. Impact on services lessens. Sleep treatment also lessens suicidal ideation.
Hunrosa achieved a 62% reduction in prescribing in a project commissioned by the NHS in Cornwall. In an audit of our child and adolescent health service sleep offer, half the young people needed no further CAMHS input after resolving their sleep.
Our training is well received by professionals. Next steps are to engage young people themselves to develop sleep resources.
