Sleep is a biological necessity for humans. We all do it, although some more than others, and we spend around a third of our lives asleep, which highlights just how important it must be.

Independent Woman’s Day was on 8 March. This year the theme was #EmbraceEquity. Bridge College wants a world where diversity, equity, and inclusivity are celebrated. A world where difference is valued. Independent Woman's Day is a wonderful opportunity to learn and foster an environment where together, we can forge women's equality.
