With around 3 million people at risk of malnutrition in the UK and over 25 million in the G8 countries we need to engage opportunities to raise the awareness of the risks and promote the good practices that can help prevent malnutrition and dehydration.

World Sleep Day 2026 is Friday 13th March and incorporates the theme Sleep Well, Live Better.

The scientific evidence is clear: your sleep is essential to health and wellbeing. Good sleep promotes wellness and resilience while poor sleep negatively impacts almost all aspects of your body and mind. Your sleep is just as important as nutrition and exercise!

It’s time to make your sleep health a priority. Here is how to start:
• Maintain a regular sleep schedule.
• Create a relaxing environment for sleep.
• Reflect during your day: do you feel rested?
