Delegate: Sleep HAIbeat
Delegate Short Bio: Sleep HAIbeat is a health-focused company based on Flores Island in the Azores, Portugal, dedicated to improving sleep health through clinical physiology, diagnostics and community education. The organisation specialises in sleep assessment and monitoring, including home-based sleep studies and cardiopulmonary physiological testing, with a strong emphasis on making specialised care accessible in remote island communities.
Alongside its clinical work, Sleep HAIbeat actively promotes sleep literacy and public engagement, delivering educational initiatives, workshops and webinars to support families, caregivers and healthcare professionals in understanding sleep as a fundamental pillar of health. Through a combination of clinical expertise, telehealth approaches and community outreach, the company aims to expand access to evidence-based sleep health across Flores Island and the wider Azores
Scope of Activity: Individual activity
Activity: For World Sleep Day, Sleep HAIbeat is organising a community webinar entitled “Sleep Like a Baby”, focused on infant and child sleep health. The session aims to provide clear, evidence-based information about what is truly normal in early sleep development, while addressing common myths and sharing practical strategies to help families establish healthy and consistent sleep routines from the very beginning.
The webinar is designed for the wider community, including parents, grandparents, caregivers, nursery professionals, and healthcare professionals, as well as anyone interested in understanding the importance of sleep for children’s health and development.
This initiative is particularly relevant to our region, as it will be the first event of this nature organised in the Azores, a remote group of islands belonging to Portugal. By delivering the session online, we aim to ensure that families and professionals across the islands can access reliable, science-based information about sleep, regardless of their location.
Through this activity, our goal is to improve sleep literacy within the community, support families in developing healthy sleep practices for children, and raise awareness of sleep as a fundamental pillar of health and well-being from the earliest stages of life.
Location: Santa Cruz das Flores, Flores Island, Azores
Date of Activity: 13/03/2026
