Scope of Activity: Campaign of multiple activities
Activity: We will invite the KITE community to participate in a brief (5-7 minute) survey-based reflection on their own sleep, and to identify feasible micro-actions to implement for improving sleep. By starting with ourselves, we emphasize reflective, equitable leadership.
Proposed location: virtual participation initiated by the BRIDGE Lab (www.bridgelab.ca) at KITE, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute University Health Network, Canada.
Timing: Around one week surrounding Sleep Day 2026
Target audience: KITE community across levels and programs.
Goals: Insights will help us reflect on our relationship with sleep, identify feasible micro-actions to support better sleep, and create an internal resource for sharing strategies and experiences across our team. Some insights may also be included in a publicly available booklet on sleep experiences and strategies.
Location: Toronto
Date of Activity: Week surrounding World Sleep Day 2026
