My 20:20 vision is that we need to open our eyes to the reality of how significant sleep is in our lives. I want to offer the audience a new perspective of the prioritisation of sleep by debunking damaging stereotypes.
Janeile’s talk will explore the stereotypes and stigmatizing tropes of tiredness and ‘lazy teenagers’, and how these damaging labels can lead to a destruction of both mental and physical health. Using their story, Janeile will discuss the impact of sleep conditions on everyday life, and how the ‘sleep is for the weak’ standard pushed by institutions plays a huge role in the extent of acceptance of sleep.
TEDx Doncaster: Positive Disruptor brings together thinkers, doers, innovators and pioneers who will share their stories of tackling closed minded tactics, whether it be in business or in everyday life. If you would like to book your tickets, please use the button found on this page.
