SleepWell at Emory
Mondays, November 2, 9, 16 @ 4:00 PM - Woodruff 310
SleepWell is an evidence-based program to help students enhance their sleep habits for greater personal and academic success. The mini-course will meet once a week for ninety minutes over three consecutive weeks. Students are encouraged to sign up with a friend or roommate so that they might reinforce sleep-enhancing behaviors in each other. Incentives include FREE DINNER and a snazzy t-shirt at the conclusion of the course, as well as Res Life Rewards (3 SYE credits for full participation!). This is a voluntary, skill-building opportunity. Some PE and PPF instructors may offer extra credit for participation, but otherwise this is a non-credit opportunity.
