The video helps people to follow the 5 principles of good sleep health:\u00a0valuing, prioritising, personalising, protecting and trusting sleep<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 5 principles are a framework for good sleep health to be used at all ages and stages in life whether you\u2019re a teenager or a sleep deprived parent; if you\u2019re struggling with working night shifts or navigating the menopause.\u00a0These are principles which apply to everyone and are practical to use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The animation aims to help people understand that sleep is the \u2018treatment\u2019 that nature provides for our daily health and well-being.\u00a0 Sleep is not down-time or off-time. Rather the brain is highly productive at night \u2013 cleansing, repairing, and restoring us physically, cognitively, and emotionally. Sleep is something to value and prioritise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This guidance is based on based on research by\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndcn.ox.ac.uk\/team\/colin-espie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Colin Espie<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Professor of Sleep Medicine in the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NIHR Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0(OH BRC)\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordhealthbrc.nihr.ac.uk\/research\/better-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Better Sleep Theme<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Co-Lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Espie is a world-leading authority on sleep and sleep disorders; he is also passionate about sharing this knowledge to help others reap the benefits of good sleep health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having originally published the 5 principles in a\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jsr.13502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>research paper in 2021<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Professor Espie has always intended to find a way to share them with a public audience, spurred on recently by an increasing interest from professionals looking for a way to explain sleep hygiene to their patients in a more accessible way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Espie explains: \u201cI have spent the past 45 years emphasising that sleep is fundamental to our health and everyday function. Yet as a society most of us still don\u2019t get full benefit from our sleep, and many people really struggle with insomnia.\u00a0People often ask me, \u2018what are the key ingredients of good sleep?&#8217; So, here is my answer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His work has attracted even wider interest with\u00a0screenwriter and actor Sacha Baron Cohan lending his time to the project as a narrator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sacha Baron Cohen said: \u201cSleep truly matters &#8211; perhaps more than we realise. I know what it feels like to be short on sleep, and I know the difference when I\u2019m well rested.\u00a0Placing good sleep at the heart of our lives is vital for everyone, at every stage of life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jsr.13502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>research<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0behind the video, and the ongoing work to bring it to a public audience, has been a collaborative effort between the University of Oxford and OH BRC, with the support of several other NHS, professional and charitable bodies who champion the importance of sleep for physical and mental health.\u00a0The animation was developed by\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scriberia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Scriberia,<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0a visual thinking company who offer strategic visual communication services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The animation is also available on the website of\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thesleepcharity.org.uk\/the-5-principles-of-good-sleep-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>The Sleep Charity<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the UK\u2019s leading sleep charity, who provide advice and support to empower the nation to sleep better. Here viewers will also find a range of additional resources to help them make practical use of the 5 principles<\/span><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lisa Artis, Deputy CEO of The Sleep Charity<\/span><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">emphasises \u201cThis resource helps people reframe sleep as something to embrace and trust, rather than struggle with &#8211; unlocking the restorative power that underpins our health.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Colin concludes:\u00a0\u201cFollowing these principles will unlock the benefits of your sleep and give you better days as well as better nights.
