Sleep on It

Presenter: Douglas Gerwin Ph.D.

In education, as in health care, we are finally waking up to the value of sleep.

Recent research confirms what Waldorf teachers have long known: children and teenagers learn more––and more deeply––when they sleep than when they are awake. In an age of insomnia, how do we guard the sleep of our youngsters?  Indeed, how do we restore restful sleep for ourselves?

Douglas will guide us on a cyclical journey to lands beyond the River Lethe, where we engage in sleep as vibrant activity, not merely as zoned-out inertia.
