This webinar will cover sleep and sleep disorders and will be hosted by Shruthi Konda, Consultant in respiratory medicine at Royal Brompton hospital.
Sleep is crucial for good health and wellbeing. It helps with cognition and forming memories. It helps maintain your metabolism and encourages the body to heal. Good sleep can sometimes be elusive. This talk will give insights into how one can achieve optimum sleep.
