So March is #NationalBedMonth, it also is #SleepAwarenessWeek from 10th to 16th and #WorldSleepDay on 15th.

Let's spread the happiness together!

#WorldPoetryDay on 21st March promoting reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry and how it can capture the creative spirit of humankind. To start celebrating World Poetry Day, there are many things you can do. Attend a poetry reading with family, friends or by yourself, you are bound to meet lots of other poetry lovers, share what you have learnt from the poetry reading with people of all ages, look up poetry recommendations and add them to your reading list and write your own poetry and share it on social media.
That’s nearly it, but I’ve just got one more awareness day to finish with……….
#EarthHour on 23rd March encouraging everyone around the world to help do something positive for our planet by signing up to switch off all lights at 8.30pm your local time and join a community of millions supporting stronger action on climate change.
