Activity: Corkum LABS at Dalhousie University launched two activities on our social media (https://www.facebook.com/betternightsdays/).
Firstly, to align with the World Sleep Day 2024 theme of sleep equity for global health, we shared a video that Dr. Penny Corkum helped develop with Aide Canada. The short, animated video provides tips for developing healthy sleep habits for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Secondly, to help us celebrate World Sleep Day, in partnership with our industry partner, Velsoft Inc., Corkum LABS offered the first 50 people who liked our Facebook page and direct messaged us on Facebook, FREE and NO research requirement access to the ABC’s of SLEEPING app for 1 month! The evidence-based app has been found to help parents change their child’s sleep habits aged 6-12 years old. Registration started Friday, March 15th and ended Friday, March 22nd at midnight.
