Your Sleepret Weapon: The Science, the Nature and the Importance of Sleep Workshop

In her workshops for young people, Ruhi focuses on how sleep impacts every aspect of health and wellness, from regulating hormones to impacting how we learn. She introduces her audience to the nature, the science and the importance of sleep, and addresses the current barriers that many adolescents face when it comes to getting enough rest. The Canadian Paediatric Society recommends eight to 10 hours of sleep for teens, national statistics indicate that millions don’t get enough. This interactive workshop encourages young people to engage in active dialogue around pursuing sleep, helping attendees to scrutinize their own sleep habits in a goal to raise self-awareness and improve overall health. This workshop is offered as a co-ed session, or separately for boys / girls.
