Recording // Webinar // Sleep, Rest and Recovery with Professor Melinda Jackson


Rest & Recovery: How trauma, stress and anxiety affect your sleep and what you can do about it!


When life feels heavy or your mind won’t switch off, sleep is often the first thing to go. Join Associate Professor Melinda Jackson for a practical Q&A on why stress, anxiety and trauma impact sleep, how rest supports recovery and what you can do to start sleeping better.
In this practical webinar, Associate Professor Melinda Jackson unpacks:

  • How sleep and mental health affect each other
  • What happens in your brain when you’re sleep-deprived
  • How much sleep most adults need - and why you might need more during stressful times
  • Practical, evidence-based strategies to improve your sleep
  • When to seek extra support from a GP
  • Reassurance that sleep struggles are common - and that small changes can make a big difference.

Re: Upcoming Webinar: SLEEP!! Rest and Recovery with Professor Melinda Jackson

I appreciated the clear presentations but was a little disappointed the information was pitched at a general audience... most hints at lived experience and/or caring came from audience comments. There were a couple of mentions of anxiety and depression but nothing on sleep disturbance as prodrome to mania and psychosis. Maybe that just reflects the prevalence of mental health concerns in the community at large.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. You've made some really important observations there. Did you have a chance to ask questions? Isn't there a Q&A section? I have to re-watch it. I only watched some of it.

I wonder if it's worth while starting a thread about mental health and sleep challenges being a prodrome to mania/psychosis? @Dimity

Or next time we have a webinar on mania/psychosis, maybe we can add sleep to something we want to know about?
