In her talk for TEDxColchester, Dr Nerina Ramlakhan will be sharing her experiences and findings surrounding the concepts of work and rest – and how the two can be combined for success in our busy modern lives.

Dr Nerina has worked as a professional physiologist and sleep therapist for 25 years. She worked for a decade conducting sleep and wellness programmes at Nightingale Hospital in London, coaches on burnout prevention at Ashridge Business School and is the original founder of BUPA’s Corporate Wellbeing Solutions. She is the author of Tired But Wired, Fast Asleep, Wide Awake, and The Little Book of Sleep: The Art of Natural Sleep and her work has been featured in The Times, Telegraph, New Scientist and others. She has also appeared on national TV and radio programmes, such as This Morning, Sky News and BBC Radio 2. As a former insomniac, Nerina combines her professional experience with academic and personal insights, and believes sleep problems are not simply about sleep, but rather about how we deal with life and its inevitable challenges. This talk was given as part of a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organised by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
