Presented for UAB faculty by Jose Tron. We live hectic lives and are seemingly on the go from the moment we wake until we hopefully fall asleep. Sleep is the primary time for our bodies to slow down, rest, and recover from daily wear and tear. In this presentation, we will define the study of sleep, the effects of sleep deprivation, and how to create healthier sleep habits to maximize and prioritize one of the most overlooked self-care behaviors.

o    Define sleep health 
o    What is sleep deprivation
o    How to prioritize healthy sleep habits 
o    Techniques to aid in sleep. (Deep breathing & Progressive muscle relaxation)
o    Personal action plan to aid in bettering sleep health

Registration is strongly encouraged for in-person attendance so that we can notify participants of any unexpected schedule changes and ensure that we have the correct amount of food if a meal is provided. UAB faculty are always welcome to show up to in-person CTL events without registering. However, if you do attend without registering, we ask that if food is being served, you wait until all pre-registered participants have gotten their food before serving yourself.
