Dr Sarah Biggs
from The Ritchie Centre has been awarded the 2015 Distinguished Activity Award
from the World Association of Sleep Medicine for her efforts in organising the
Australian and New Zealand World Sleep Day event held 13 March, 2015.
World Sleep Day
is an initiative aimed to increased awareness and provide education on all
aspects of sleep health around the world.
This year,
Sarah developed an education package for school counsellors and teachers
designed to educate children and adolescents about the importance of sleep and
provide tips to improve sleep health.
Launched on
World Sleep Day, the education package was immediately downloaded by over 60
schools across Australia and New Zealand.
This is the
second consecutive year that Sarah has won this prestigious award, ahead of other
World Sleep Day events organised in over 40 countries around the world.
