Sleepless in America: A health and safety approach to rest

Summary: How did you sleep last night? 1/3 of US adults are not getting the recommended 7+ hours of sleep each night. That may sound minor, but once you realize that insufficient sleep is associated with increased obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, mental illness, and affects overall safety, it becomes a little more significant. Through this program we can directly impact health and safety with tangible information to help participants sleep better, tonight!

Intended Audience: Anyone who sleeps!

Outcomes: At the end of this webinar participants will…

  1. Learn research-based facts about why sleep matters, what happens during sleep cycles, current sleep recommendations, daily habits that interfere with a good night’s sleep, and the detrimental effects a lack of sleep can cause.
  2. Discover new sleep tips and tricks to customize their own routine for better sleep.
