Daytime sleepiness? Irritability? Trouble focusing? You might not be getting enough quality sleep! It\u2019s hard to overstate how essential sleep is to mental, emotional, and physical well-being and academic performance. If you struggle to get good sleep, SHAW has several options to help you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone can experience problems with sleep from time to time. Come to one of our monthly 50-minute \u2018Sleep on It\u2019 workshops to learn about \u2018sleep hygiene\u2019 — daily behaviors and practices you can control to improve your quality of sleep. You will complete a brief survey to assess your current sleep hygiene behaviors, identify your sleep goals, and create a tailor-made plan for things you can start doing right away to help yourself sleep better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If good sleep hygiene practices don’t help and you consistently have trouble sleeping, talk to a healthcare provider. Our SHAW providers can help you identify underlying factors that may be affecting your sleep, including lifestyle habits, stress, or medical conditions. Depending on your individual needs, your provider may offer personalized strategies to improve your sleep habits and may also refer you to a SHAW counselor or sleep specialist if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
