Leeds Ilkley Yorkshire Support Group Meeting

[Estellemac]

We had our first face to face meeting in Leeds Community Hub Yesterday. Its been two years since we last met. There were 8 of us who could make it. The room was a good size for discussion but the acoustics and lighting were a bit harsh. The café next door is great for lunch. One of our group shared an app called Sleep School as a lot of PMR/GCA people have difficulty sleeping. There is a yearly subscription fee for this. Its about retraining your brain to switch off. The amygdala bit apparently. Initially there is 6 weeks of daily activities to start you off and video's to watch throughout the programme. Guy Meadows, a sleep phycologist is the creator. The app also has courses on mental health, anxiety and health worries. The person who introduced us to the app and explained the different functions gave us positive feedback . But we are all different and what works for me might not be your cup of tea.

Nothing to loose but an hour of your time.

I don't understand it - I've done a lot of zoom and the like meetings - my wifi must be superb by comparison, never have a problem.

Sorry I couldn't make it in the end , went up north to visit family.

Glad you had a good meeting.
