Date: Friday, March 8, 2024. 1:00-5:00 PM
Location: Online
Cost: FREE. Register to attend
The 2024 Sung Symposium explores how sleep affects whole health—and how well-being affects sleep. Research suggests that almost a third of us drag ourselves out of bed in the morning without enough good-quality sleep. If you feel tired upon waking, or throughout the day, you may be experiencing underlying issues that are impacting your night’s rest. Many things can contribute to poor sleep quality including poor sleep hygiene, stress, sleep apnea, a primary sleep disorder, or a chronic health condition. Attend this symposium and learn more about sleep problems and how to have restorative sleep
