The Sleep Better Lab- Workshop

Prolonged poor sleep can have a negative effect on hormones, physical performance, and brain function. It can also lead to weight gain and increase your risk of disease.

Sleep delays/interruptions have been shown to cause sluggishness, low attention span, decreased sociability, depressed mood, decreased deep sleep, decreased caloric burn during the day, increased hunger and decreased feeling of fullness, insulin resistance and decreased performance. Strive for seven (7) or more hours per night for optimal health.

Deep sleep is health promoting. In fact, not getting enough sleep is linked to diabetes, heart disease, obesity, depression, and other chronic health conditions. Yet one-third of British adults say they get less than the recommended amount of sleep each night, at least seven hours.

You'll gain a better understanding of the things which can disrupt your sleep and changes you can make to improve the quality and duration of your sleep.

Not really. Each time you attend you'll learn more about how you can improve your sleep and hear from others in the group about what changes were beneficial for them.

Poor sleep can increase cortisol (the stress hormone) and can spike your insulin levels. This can then lead to poor food choices and habits like over or under eating, poor energy and focus, craving carbs and lack of weight loss.
