Dr John Arden
Did you know that hundreds of thousands of traffic accident deaths are caused by lack of sleep? Many more than are caused by alcohol and drug abuse. Lack of sleep can literally kill you and Dr John Arden will explore the science of a good night’s sleep in this webinar.
Mental health has suffered during lockdown and has affected sleep patterns with more and more people reporting lack of sleep. In today’s world of broadband connectivity in every room in the house, including the bedroom, it is important to address this issue and understand the need for a good night’s sleep.
The late William Dement, pioneer in the science of Sleep, found that 80% of students in Stanford were sleep deprived and that most adults wake up with sleep debt.
The best sleep habits are consistent, healthy routines that allow all of us, regardless of our age, to meet our sleep needs every night, to keep on top of life’s challenges every day. We require long periods of sleep in order to restore and rejuvenate, to grow muscle, repair tissue, and synthesize hormones and the most important part is Stage 4 sleep, which can be inhibited by alcohol and drug use.
