Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the State of the Market Report on Sleep published by Perrigo in November 2021, which found that 84 per cent of healthcare professionals surveyed believe sleep-related issues in the UK will become even more widespread in the next five years, whether his Department has plans to improve the public's knowledge of the (a) benefits of sleep and (b) potential impact of poor sleep on health.
The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities provides guidance and resources to support good sleep via Every Mind Matters, which is available at the following link:

We have committed to review the evidence on sleep and health, including the impact of sleep on health and the findings will be published in due course.
