Sleep & Healthy Living program - presented by Dr. Kalpesh Ganatra
Not sleeping enough and not sleeping well is not OK. As a matter of
fact, there is quite a price to pay. It may surprise you to learn that
chronic sleep deprivation, for whatever reason, significantly affects
your health, performance, safety, and pocketbook.
If you have difficulty sleeping, are told you snore, are tired
throughout the day, or just want to learn more about sleep disorders,
plan to attend the "Sleep & Healthy Living program," by Dr. Kalpesh
Ganatra, who is Board Certified in Sleep Medicine and Pulmonology.
Held at Phelps Memorial Health Center, the sleep program is Monday,
March 8, 12:30 to 1:30 pm, in the PMHC Conference Room. Please call
995-2948 to make your reservation for the program and for your free
lunch.
There are many causes of sleep deprivation. The stresses of daily life
may intrude upon your ability to sleep well, or perhaps we trade sleep
for more work or play. There can be medical or mental-health conditions
that disrupt our sleep.
However, it is critically important to realize that sleep deprivation is
very often due to unrecognized sleep disorders. After a typical night's
sleep, you may not feel restored and refreshed and be sleepy during the
day, but be totally unaware that you are sleep-deprived or have a sleep
disorder. You might think, "It's just the stress of work or the kids,"
or you might have "always felt this way" and had no idea that you should
feel differently. This lack of awareness compounds the consequences,
because so many people remain undiagnosed for years.
