Sleeptember 2025: Better Sleep Starts Here

This September marks The Sleep Charity’s annual Sleeptember campaign – a whole month dedicated to raising awareness of the benefits of healthy sleep for children and families.

The theme for 2025 is “Better Sleep Starts Here”, encouraging families to take simple, positive steps towards better rest. From setting up calm routines to improving the comfort of sleep spaces, there are lots of ways to make a real difference.

Why children’s sleep matters

Sleep is the foundation for so much of our children’s wellbeing. It supports learning, behaviour, growth, and emotional health. Yet studies show that around 50% of children experience difficulties with sleep, and that number rises to 80% when a child has a SEND diagnosis.

That’s why this campaign is so important – not just for children, but for whole families.

Resources to explore

To support families this Sleeptember, The Sleep Charity has developed a fantastic Supporters Pack. Inside you’ll find:

• A Four Week Sleep Improvement Challenge

• A Sleep Improvement Checklist

• A Sleep Diary to track progress

• Practical tips for creating cleaner, calmer, and more comfortable sleep spaces

These resources are free and easy to use – a wonderful way to start building healthier sleep habits. You can download the pack here.
