Yes, we sleep but do you know why it is necessary for life? Come join me as we explore the science and mechanisms behind sleep. We will first delve into the need for sleep and then into the parts of the brain that sleep occurs. We will look at actual brain waves during sleep and how these are captured. What happens if you don't get enough sleep? We will also look at the deleterious effects of not enough sleep (especially for students!) as well as the disorders associated with sleep problems. The class will begin first with a question session and then transition into the lesson which includes lecture, videos, and group participation. Please print or have the worksheet available to you for use during class. Students do not need any background on this subject to take this introductory class. Please note, fewer numbers of students may result in a shortened class time. There will be no refunds issued for a student(s) missing class.

I have been a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) since 2012 and currently run a hospital-based sleep lab. Prior to that, I was a middle school science teacher for 10 years and currently homeschool my 15-year-old daughter while teaching on Outschool for the last 4 years. I have my Bachelors in Biology and my Masters in Healthcare Administration. I've been able to be in the Sleep Medicine field for over a decade and in that time, have seen first-hand the importance of great sleep!Reviews
