Menopause workshop; getting a better sleep
A special sleep workshop for mid-life women will be offered on Feb. 9 by the Stress Management and High Performance Clinic.
Poor sleep is the most common and severe symptom of peri-menopausal women. They have more difficulty falling asleep, and their sleep may be disturbed by things like sleep disorders, poor health, hot flashes, anxiety, depression and worrying.
Recent research findings are directing health professionals to change from past trends of hormones-only solutions when addressing sleep changes at mid-life.
Workshop participants will learn practical, drug-free ways to improve sleep and the three keys to better sleep. Included will be tips to decrease hot flashes, fall asleep (and get back to sleep) more easily, and how to avoid the “big mistake” that robs many people of energizing sleep.
The workshop is on Feb. 9 from 7 to 9pm in Room 335 of the University Centre at the University of Guelph. The fee is $20.
