Over twenty years in education

How a career in education and child development came to shape our advice on sleep, behaviour and everyday life.

  1. Training

    Dual honours degree at Keele University in conductive education and psychology, with neuroscience studied as part of the course.

  2. In education

    Over 20 years in education, working as a SENDCo and teacher supporting children with a range of learning and developmental needs.

  3. Headteacher

    Went on to lead a school as headteacher, responsible for behaviour, learning and wellbeing across the whole setting.

  4. Focus on sleep

    Saw at first hand how much a child's sleep affects how they behave, learn and feel, and where families struggle.

  5. In the press

    Now speaks to journalists on sleep, behaviour and child wellbeing, translating the science for parents.

  6. Today, with Land of Beds

    As Chief of Staff, Judith brings an education and child-development lens to our sleep guidance, so it reflects how people actually behave and learn.
