The Quest for Healthy Sleep: Strategies to Overcome the Things That Keep Us up at Night

Join The Miriam Hospital Women's Association for its Community Speaker Series Spring 2025 event. 

Speaker

Join us, on Thursday, May 1, at 7 p.m. for a free, in-person presentation by Katherine Sharkey, MD, PhD, FACP, FAASM, FAMWA, a sleep medicine physician and associate professor of medicine and psychiatry and human behavior at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. 

This talk will explore the challenges that keep us up at night, from social media to stress, medical conditions, over-the-counter prescription sleep aids, and conditions like chronic pain and bladder issues. Also covered will be the difference between everyday stress and true sleep disorders, how poor sleep impacts memory, mood, and heart health, and what “good” sleep hygiene looks like.
