Sleeping & Napping Workshop

Description:

Graduate students, like Americans overall, are not getting enough sleep. Recent research on college students and sleep indicates that insufficient sleep impacts our health, our moods, our GPA, and our safety. Sleep really matters and napping can help! This workshop teaches the latest sleep science and the steps to intentional, efficient, and effective napping.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Participants will learn how to practice intentional, efficient, and effective napping and be able to differentiate Flash Nap from “crash napping.” 
  • Participants will be able to explain how sleep and napping contribute to resilience, which in turn, influences their academic and personal success.
  • Participants will practice relaxation techniques (Belly Breathing and/or Progressive Muscle Relaxation) and be able to apply them as basic steps to cueing up readiness to Flash Nap and/or before sleeping.
