Event Details

Does poor sleep keep you up at night?  Can this be the result of a sleeping disorder?  Did you know a sleeping disorder can seriously affect your brain function, your emotional and physical health, and your relationships?

In this program Dr. Anokwute will educate us on the many factors that can contribute to inadequate sleep such as insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs, food intake, medications, light exposure, stress, anxiety, bed wetting and much more. The problem may go deeper than you think and medications are not always the solution.
