We conclude with vicious and virtuous flowers suggesting ways to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on adolescent sleep.

Engaging people in psychological interventions is key to psychological practice, yet it can be hard to achieve. This article looks at sales techniques and how they could be used to encourage people to believe in and engage with interventions.

Non-epileptic seizures (NES) are a common yet poorly understood experience and are often associated with high levels of psychological distress. We share our reflections of introducing an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based approach to our psychology service in Nottingham.

The range of unwanted behaviours arising from sleep is wide, and is not limited to the archetypal non-REM parasomnias such as sleepwalking, or REM sleep behaviour disorder. Some parasomnias, such as sleep paralysis and sleep-related hallucinations, are part of the classic tetrad of narcolepsy, but are encountered as isolated phenomena in an extremely high proportion of the otherwise normal population. Others are much less commonly experienced or encountered, but a knowledge of these conditions often permits a rapid diagnosis. This chapter discusses a range of other parasomnias that may occasionally be encountered in clinical practice, including rhythmic movement disorder, hypnic jerks, exploding head syndrome and propriospinal myoclonus.
