I always found it amusing that there's a sleep research center on Cowpath Road in Hatfield Township. So if you fall asleep there, you're not slacking on the job?
Grand View Hospital invites you to check out a free lecture by national sleep expert (how does one achieve that distinction?) Dr. James B. Maas at Franconia Heritage Restaurant on Route 113 at 5:30 p.m. June 3. Maas is a psychology professor at Cornell University, the author of “Power of Sleep” and has been featured on "The Today Show," "20/20," "Regis & Kelly" and "Oprah."
“To be a peak performer you need to be fully alert, dynamic, energetic, in a good mood, and cognitively sharp,” says Maas. “You must be able to concentrate, remember, make critical and creative decisions, communicate persuasively, and be productive all day long. None of this is possible without quality sleep. Furthermore, healthy sleep has been proven to be the single most important determinant in predicting longevity.”
Strange as this sounds, the doc has strategies to get a good night’s sleep. Among the topics he will discuss are:
- Why are 100 million Americans sleep deprived?
- What are the different stages of nocturnal sleep and how important are they to daytime functioning?
- How much sleep do you need to function well?
- Can you decrease your need for sleep and remain efficient?
- Do you need less sleep as you get older?
- Is napping healthy?
- What causes insomnia?
- What are the four golden rules that will assure you a great night's sleep?
There will be appetizers and beverages...y'know, so you don't fall asleep.
Registration is required by calling the Grand View Information Line at (215) 453-4300. Also, visit http://www.gvh.org/.
FYI, Grand View also has a sleep center. The recently opened Stoneridge Sleep Center, 870 Lawn Ave., West Rockhill, provides testing, diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders including sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy and more.
Nighty-night!
