Upcoming Healthy Boiler workshop to focus on ‘magical power of sleep’

Cheryl Laszynski, RN Health Coach with the Center for Healthy Living on Purdue’s West Lafayette campus, will present a Healthy Boiler workshop focused on sleep from noon to 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday (Sept. 12).

The workshop, “The Magical Power of Sleep,” will highlight the importance of a good night’s sleep, and the value of sleep as a critical wellness factor will be discussed.

“Sleep is important to our mental health, physical health, quality of life and safety,” Laszynski said. “The fast-paced culture of today tends to put the importance of sleep low on the list of priorities.”

Good sleeping habits are beneficial to many aspects of health, including improving brain function, maintaining hormones that control appetite, boosting muscle mass, helping repair cells and tissues and more.

Healthy Boiler workshops are free to all benefits-eligible faculty and staff and dependents. The workshop supports the physical health pillar of the Healthy Boiler Program.

Those interested in attending should register by Monday (Sept. 11) via the Healthy Boiler Portal. The registration link can be found under the “Healthy Boiler Workshops” section on the portal’s homepage. Hover over “The Magical Power of Sleep” and hit “Submit” to register.
