Sleep studies show how crucial a good night’s rest is not just for our daily performance but also for our physical and mental health. Restless nights can lead to more significant care requirements for people in vulnerable circumstances throughout the day. A poor night’s sleep can impact a person’s ability to conduct daily tasks and even lead to instability on the feet and an increase in clouded judgement. In some circumstances, poor sleep can lead to heightened feelings of isolation when catching up on sleep throughout the day. This can then lead to an individual’s inability to socialise with family and friends and engage at a normal level. 

Considering this, care and support throughout the night are just as critical as providing care throughout the day.
