Six-Week Healthy Sleep Challenge: Begins July 20!

How about taking some time for self care this summer?  In addition to a variety of virtual class offerings, the UC San Diego Health Employee Employee Wellness Program will offer an inaugural six-week Healthy Sleep Challenge.  Despite being a crucial function, the effect of sleep on our lives is dramatically undervalued and underappreciated.  This program will give you practical, tangible and easy-to-implement information and action steps.  The program will include a weekly email with a short educational video, two live virtual question and answer hours and a drawing for a heart rate variability monitor (you will learn why this is important!) and cover the following:
·        Baseline assessment and sleep education
·        Behaviors and stimulus control that lead to falling and staying asleep
·        Circadian rhythm assessment and schedule timing cues
