Dr Ranj visits Sundridge

NHS doctor and TV personality Dr Ranj Singh is visiting schools to talk to pupils and parents about the importance of a good night’s sleep.

The educational assemblies have been organised by Furniture Village in collaboration with The Sleep Charity, and form part of a wider mission to support the nation when it comes to sleep.

Dr Ranj is the sleep and wellness ambassador for Furniture Village, and has been an integral part of the campaign to date.

Some 50% of children and 40% of adults will have an issue with sleep in their lifetime, whether that be getting to sleep or staying asleep through the night. Alongside this, studies have shown that if children struggle to sleep, so do their parents. With this in mind, Dr Ranj will be focusing on sleep health for the whole family and discussing simple steps that can be taken to establish a good bedtime routine.

Dr Ranj says: “As a doctor, I know that sleep is as essential for health as a balanced diet and regular exercise. Whilst children learn about the importance of nutrition and movement, it struck me that they aren’t taught the importance of a good night’s sleep, which is why Furniture Village, The Sleep Charity and myself have devised this programme.

“I’m thrilled to be given the opportunity to speak to parents and children about a topic I’m so passionate about, and hope that some of the sleep strategies and practical advice we offer can make a tangible difference to the whole family’s wellbeing.”
