Sleep Science
Humans spend one-third of their lives sleeping. Far from being “unproductive,” sleep plays a direct role in how energetic, alert and productive the other two-thirds of our lives can be. Like most things in life practice makes perfect and managing sleep is no exception. The practice of following guidelines in an attempt for more restful and effective sleep is known as sleep hygiene.
The sleep science workshop aims to improve the quantity and quality of sleep for participants through the provision of information and tips on how to create good sleep hygiene, develop sleep routines and maximise knowledge of how sleep impacts on their broader health.
