Lived Experience Member

Lisa lives in Queensland and is a Domestic Violence Survivor-Advocate. 

My experience includes sleep abuse and, combined with the trauma of all the other patterns of abuse I was experiencing, my nervous system and sleep were severely impacted.  

I'm also the main carer for my mother who lives with Dementia following an Alzheimer’s disease and Frontier-Temporal dementia diagnosis. 

My mother’s issues with sleep sparked my own interest in the link between dementia and sleep, which is how I came across the Sleep Health Foundation. 

Currently, I'm on a journey to learn more about sleep health and would love to share my experiences and insights with others who have similar life experiences.
