Michigan State University Extension will offer a Mindfulness for Better Sleep online workshop in August and September.
The free program combines the benefits of mindfulness and sleep education for anyone. Mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress-related symptoms such as worry, depression, physical tension, and may be helpful in managing chronic conditions. Participants will also learn techniques to improve the quality and quantity of their sleep.
The program consists of six, 90-minute interactive online sessions. Each session will include a mindfulness lesson, mindfulness practice, sleep education (the relationship between pain and sleep hygiene, and techniques to improve sleep), and goal setting.
The program will be offered live via Zoom (instructions sent upon registration).
The classes are 1:30 to 3 p.m. Mondays, Aug. 18, 25, Sept. 8, 15, 22, and 29. There is no class on Sept. 1.
The classes will be taught by Naomi Hyso, MSU Extension health educator.
