All rights reserved. 1 Training Summary It is rare for people to obtain sufficient sleep in our fast-paced, technologydriven world. Sleep deprivation generates productivity loss as well as cognitive, emotional and physical effects which can interfere significantly with our lives. At the extreme, inadequate sleep can be deadly. This seminar will explore the causes of sleep deprivation and help participants implement a plan to get back on track. Call: Visit: BHS. All rights reserved BHS, All rights reserved. 1

2 What is Sleep? Sleep has distinct stages that cycle throughout the night in predictable patterns. Your brain stays active throughout sleep. Sleep is divided into two basic types: Rapid eye movement (REM) Non-REM sleep (NREM) Four stages Call: Visit: BHS. All rights reserved. 3 Benefits of Sleep Sleep improves learning, memory and insight. Sleep gives your heart and vascular system a much needed rest by safely lowering blood pressure. Deep sleep triggers more release of growth hormone, which fuels growth in children and boosts muscle mass and the repair of cells and tissues. Call: Visit: BHS.

Sleep needs change throughout the lifecycle. Newborns sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day Preschool children sleep between 10 and 12 hours a day School-aged children and adolescents need at least nine hours of sleep a night. During adolescence, a big drop occurs in the amount of time spent in deep sleep. Seniors do not need less sleep but often get less due to medical conditions and medications. Call: Visit: BHS.
