Sleep disturbance isn’t just a symptom of mental ill-health, it’s a core psycho-biological driver of distress.

Across anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism and mood disorders, disrupted sleep both reflects and reinforces changes in neurobiology, emotional regulation, and behaviour yet it’s often overlooked in clinical and wellbeing settings.

This free webinar 4th February (4pm – 5:30pm) on disturbed sleep explores:

• The psycho-biological link between sleep and mental health
• Why sleep disruption increases relapse, burnout, and treatment resistance
• Why standard sleep hygiene often fails (especially for neurodivergent individuals)
• Practical behavioural & bio-hacking tools for sleep regulation

Featuring Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, translating sleep science into tools you can use immediately, and Dr. Bijal Chheda, Consultant Psychologist and Founder of Nos Curare and Somnus Curare.

Free Sleep Webinar Outline

This webinar brings together two complementary perspectives on sleep:

1. A psycho-biological understanding of sleep and mental health
2. Behavioural and bio-hacking techniques for sleep regulation, with Dr Nerina Ramlakhan.

Part 1: Psycho-Biological Foundations

This section explores the bidirectional, transdiagnostic relationship between sleep and mental health, focusing on:

• The neurobiology of sleep, arousal, and emotional regulation
• Interactions between sleep disruption and anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, and autism
• Sleep disturbance as a risk factor for relapse, burnout, and treatment resistance
• Why standard sleep hygiene models often fail, particularly for neurodivergent individuals.

Part 2: Behavioural & Bio-Hacking Approaches

With Dr Nerina Ramlakhan

This section translates sleep science into practice, introducing:

• Behavioural and nervous-system based techniques to improve sleep regulation
• Practical bio-hacking strategies aligned with circadian biology
• Neuro-affirming, evidence-based tools that can be used immediately

Good mental health cannot be built on poor sleep and sustainable sleep rarely emerges without psychological and physiological safety.
