Better Sleep for Better Health
Monday 4.3.06 ~ 4:30pm ~ Shanklin 107
Scientists have yet to fully understand why we need to sleep.
But we do know that getting enough good quality sleep is as
important as good nutrition and exercise habits in terms of their
benefits to your health. However, sleep tends to be the one thing
we sacrifice when we get busy or stressed. Learn about the value of
good quality sleep habits and how to create a positive sleep
environment to help balance the lack of sleep you may be
experiencing. Presented by Lisa Currie, Director of Health Education
"When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot
manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and
intelligence cannot be applied." ~ Herophilus, 300 B.C.
