If you’ve been struggling to sleep as schools have reopened this week, you’re not alone. Our recent study found that 45% of parents in the UK are losing up to three hours of sleep per night worrying about their children returning to school.
Over the past few months, there has been much debate surrounding whether or not it’s safe for children to return to school and with the UK still facing restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid-19, many parents have been left confused over what is the right thing to do.
With almost half of parents currently losing sleep, the findings of our study have clearly demonstrated that the stress of school’s reopening is a major concern for people across the UK. The situation has been extremely stressful for parents with many balancing concerns about the health of their children with worries about them missing out on crucial proper education.
