Dr Sophie Bostock

Sophie studied medicine at Nottingham University, followed by an MSc in Entrepreneurship. After several years in consulting, she completed a PhD in Health Psychology at University College London (UCL), investigating why happiness protects against heart disease, and how to improve wellbeing at work. 

Sophie's research pointed to sleep as an unsung hero of mental and physical resilience. She has published research in collaboration with the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute in Oxford, and international researchers, demonstrating the impacts of better sleep on mental health and performance. 

Sophie became a passionate advocate for the importance of sleep, and evidence-based therapy, and was awarded an NHS Innovation Accelerator Fellowship in 2016. Sophie has been invited to deliver talks for Tedx and Talks@Google, and regularly features as a sleep expert in national media.
