(Rest. Educate. Motivate.) Sleep Programs at Detroit International Academy for Young Women in March of this year.

Sweet Dreamzzz, a local non-profit organization is committed to improving children’s health, well-being and academic performance by providing sleep education and bedtime essentials to economically disadvantaged students and their families.  The R.E.M. (Rest. Educate. Motivate.) Sleep Program is a unique program that deals with nighttime - a time period in a child’s life that is rarely addressed.  The program is twofold, bringing both warmth and comfort to the children as well as vital information they need to ensure a good night’s rest.  The R.E.M. Sleep Program starts with a 30-minute presentation educating the children on the importance of sleep and good sleep hygiene habits.  After the presentation, each child receives a sleep kit consisting of a sleeping bag, t-shirt, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a reading book by sleep professional, Dr. James B. Maas.

Sweet Dreamzzz has sleep education programs for early childhood, elementary schools, parents, teachers and the general community.  For more information on their programs or how you can help please visit, www.SweetDreamzzz.org.  For more information about 100+ Women, visit www.100pluswomenmotown.com.
