Sleep is essential to health and survival. Even if you don't eat very well, your sleep patterns can make a difference. Sleep loss due to voluntary bedtime curtailment has become a hallmark of modern society. Chronic sleep loss may represent a novel risk factor for weight gain, insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. Learn how to get to sleep faster, and stay asleep, at the free program “Sleep 101” at Warsaw Community Public Library Nov. 17 from noon to 1 p.m. Guest speaker Jennifer Hoover, RPH of Walgreen Drug Store, will be the guest speaker.
