Workshop Instructor...................Dr. Phillip Gehrman Sleep is as crucial to overall health and well-being as physical activity and good nutrition, yet millions of Americans forgo sufficient sleep or suffer from sleep problems that prevent them from obtaining adequate rest. Left untreated, sleep problems can take a toll on health and significantly reduce quality of life. This three-session workshop introduces the science of sleep and helps participants better understand the relationship between sleep, health, and longevity. Dr. Phil Gehrman provides techniques for maximizing sleep, separates truth from myth and helps participants recognize and manage sleep issues. Participants keep a sleep diary and complete a questionnaire, then receive a detailed interpretation of their personal sleep habits at the end of the program. Dr. Gehrman completed his graduate training in clinical psychology at the University of California, San Diego including an internship at the Durham VA Medical Center and a postdoctoral fellowship in sleep medicine at Penn. His research is on the mechanisms and treatment of insomnia.  Dr. Gehrman’s clinical work is on the treatment of sleep disorders.
