Helping University Students to Improve Their Sleep Through Research, Education and Treatment.
Our mission is to improve global wellbeing through sleep education.
The International Sleep Charity is a registered charity in England and Wales (Charity Number: 1123736) with a mission to help the world sleep better. Run by a dynamic team of former and current poor sleep sufferers, sleep enthusiasts and sleep professionals; we are committed to our social mission of helping as many people as possible sleep better, forever.
Are you an insomniac?
We’ve teamed up with our friends at SleepHubs
We are hosting a sleep improvement course with SleepHubs at an exclusive discounted rate.
If you are struggling with your sleep, this course could help you to sleep for up to 30 minutes more per night, without needing to spend any longer in bed.

International Sleep Charity Global Webinar Series
We will be joined by expert clinicians, thought-leaders and scientists for a series of brief talks and relaxed, but ‘intelligent’ conversations, taking inspiration from the interviewing style of the late Sir David Tang.
All events will take place via Zoom and are accessible across the globe. If you are interested but cannot attend on the scheduled date, you catch up on our YouTube channel.
