Two members of the @circadianmhnetw.bsky.social LEAP delve into the process of choosing the top 10 body clock, sleep & mental health research priorities 😴 and why it was a good example of lived experience involvement in a priority setting partnership.

Having lived with bipolar disorder and associated sleep and body clock disruption for so long, I am really keen to understand what is going on in my brain and body when my mood disorder wrecks my sleep patterns, and i know the only way to find out is for someone to actually do the research

As someone whose sleep has been affected by neurodivergence, hormones, mental health challenges and pregnancy, it felt empowering to bring my intersectional voice to the project.

Loved having our fab Trainee Public Involvement in Research Officer George at the @circadianmhnetw.bsky.social conference 😍

He was on a panel talking lived experience involvement in the design & promotion of the two surveys and the importance of lived experience in mental health research generally!
