“We’ve always believed that sleep is equally as important as diet and exercise yet we know the UK is really struggling to sleep, particularly with the ongoing effects of the pandemic” says Charlie Harrison, Furniture Village Commercial Director.

“With Furniture Village’s support, we’re empowering the nation to have a better night’s sleep,” says Vicki Dawson, CEO The Sleep Charity. “We strongly believe that sleep is a right, not a privilege, so this Helpline will make a real difference to anyone who’s struggling right now.”

How does it work?

The phone lines will be staffed by fully qualified sleep advisors offering free, confidential support and guidance on everything from sleep hygiene to mindfulness techniques. It’s a reassuringly safe space for anyone needing advice. Although they cannot give medical advice, they can talk through your issues, offer you some practical strategies and recommend services that could help.

How is the National Sleep Helpline funded?
