Learn to Sleep Better at Free Class at Rogue Valley Medical Center

April 19, 2011 - PRLog -- MEDFORD, Ore.—Learn to improve your sleep and be healthier at “Sleeping Soundly in 2011,” a free class at Rogue Valley Medical Center (http://www.rvmc.org) on Thursday, Apr. 21 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. A complimentary dinner is included.

Michael Schwartz, MS, of the Rogue Valley Sleep Center, (http://www.rvmc.org/RVMC/Medical-Services/sleep-center/index.aspx ) will explore your options for sleeping more soundly in 2011.

When you wake up, are you refreshed and ready to go, or groggy and grumpy? For many people, it’s the latter. One in five Americans sleeps less than six hours a night, which can lead to serious health problems. Lack of sleep can make you too tired to work efficiently, to exercise, or to eat healthfully. Over time, lack of sleep increases your risk for many chronic illnesses including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Better sleep can lower your risk.

The class will be at the Smullin Health Education Center on the RVMC campus.

There is no fee, but registration is required and space is limited. Dinner will be provided.

To register, call 888-688-4920, or register online at http://www.rvmc.org/classes-events.
