Increasing
work/school/family life stressors and a culture of constant connection to
mobile devices has led many Americans to a persistent state of sleep
deprivation. Chronic sleep deprivation not only reduces productivity, it can
impair mood, learning, memory, and physical performance. Medical disorders
associated with lack of sleep or sleep disorders include diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, cancer, and depression. Lecture attendees will
leave with a foundational understanding of the science of sleep and the
implications of poor sleep. Strategies to improve sleep will be
provided. This session is co-sponsored by the College of Veterinary
Medicine.
