Sleep & Recovery Workshop

Synopsis

The amount of sleep required to feel rested varies from individual to individual – however the current guidelines recommend approximately 7.5 – 9 hours per night for optimal health. When someone falls short of their ideal amount, it is known as ‘sleep debt’. It is important to understand how personal sleep rhythms can adapt in response to external cues, such as the presence of light exposure and eating times – as this gives each individual the power to more purposefully prime themselves for better quality and duration of rest. Sleep is a crucial for the recovery and recalibration of every system of the body each night, and so disrupted or poor sleep can have a very negative impact on how a person feels and functions.

Left unchecked, over time it can contribute to the development of serious health conditions and accidents – and so it is important to rememdy this, and be as proactive as possible in cultivating better sleep habits. This training explores this subject in depth and provides attendees with valuable evidence-based insights to improve their sleep quality.
