Improve Sleep Habits

Despite knowing that getting a good night’s sleep is healthy, many people struggle to get the rest they need. Since adult sleep guidelines for adults range from 7-9 hours, people can find it hard to know if they are sleeping enough. Many rely on a cycle of caffeine and sugar to get through the day.

This course’s guided approach to better sleep provides you a variety of behavior change techniques you can use to coax (and coach) people into getting better sleep. Use the provided sleep journal to help your clients build sleep awareness so that change naturally will follow.
