The Power of Sleep

Carey Academy and the Carey Community Forum invite you to a discussion on:

Sleep – the forgotten strategy for achieving our personal best

In this presentation, Dr Harrington will provide relevant and up-to-date research highlighting the fundamental role of sleep in our wellbeing and in our ability to perform at our best.

The connection between sleep and our physical and mental health will be examined and the effects of sleep on cognitive ability and behaviour will be specifically detailed. Dr Harrington will explain what sleep is and how it is structured and will give strategies to maximise good sleep in yourself and your children. She will also describe the effects of insufficient sleep on the developing brain and how to go about setting up healthy sleeping habits in young children and teenagers that will help them achieve optimal wellbeing and their personal best.

The session will start on Wednesday 27 August at 7pm. Please click on http://live.carey.com.au/ to access the presentation. Select the option 'Watch on the web instead'.
