A good night’s sleep is incredibly important for healthy growth and development.

A lack of sleep may also trigger behavioural and mood problems, impulsive behaviours, impairments in memory, learning, and concentration, slower reaction times, accidents, injuries, and overeating. Therapy can help identify specific thoughts and behaviours that are leading to difficulties with sleep.
