I found 9 restful South Tyneside scenes to get you thinking of World Sleep Day

I’m giving a nod to these South Tyneside sleep-related scenes as I celebrate a special day in the calendar.

March 13 is World Sleep Day and it aims to promote sleep health awareness.

To mark the occasion, I found all these sleepout photo memories from the Shields Gazette archives, stretching from a Jarrow marcher taking a snooze 90 years ago to a Centrepoint sleepout in 2018.

See how many of these events you remember.
