Welcome
The British Sleep Society (BSS) is a professional organisation for medical, scientific and healthcare workers dealing with sleeping disorders. We are also here to help sleep practitioners in the private field. We are a registered British charity and our ultimate aim is to improve public health by promoting education and research into sleep and its disorders.
This site caters for anyone with a passion for and interest in sleep and sleep disorders, including our professional membership, lay public and media.
