Wellbeing expert reveals 5 top tips to help parents destress in a healthy way during the busy school holidays - as it's revealed 40% turn to smoking and alcohol to cope
Daily MailMany parents rely on unhealthy habits to cope with Summer holiday stress, according to new research carried out by CBD-brand Provacan in collaboration with UK sleep, stress and wellbeing expert, Dave Gibson. In terms of the age of children, and what impact that had on parental stress levels during the holidays, the poll found that 25 per cent of parents of primary school aged children reported moderate or significant increases in stress, with 24 per cent for those with secondary school children and 20 per cent for those with sixth form or college-aged offspring. Almost half of parents who reported that they experience significant stress or disrupted sleep during the summer months would consider taking CBD products – higher than 37 per cent of non-parents. Some 40 per cent of parents turn to alcohol, vaping or smoking during the Summer holidays, with 82 per cent saying they do so either most or every night Dave Gibson is a sleep expert who has worked within the NHS as a Sleep Coach and worked on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing as an Osteopath.
