Darling White Lake Centre: Everything you wanted to know about sleep

Everything you wanted to know about sleep

After a lengthy COVID-induced delay, Live 'n Learn is back. The first session, held yesterday (Thursday), featured an excellent presentation by Melissa Gourley of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital's Sleep Disorder Clinic.

The event began with a hearty lunch (thanks to all who contributed!), followed by Melissa who spent an hour and a half talking to a very attentive audience about sleep disorders, symptoms, long-term health impacts, and so on. Even in the hour after lunch (prime nap time for us seniors) no one was nodding off as Melissa shared her expertise on a very complex and poorly understood subject, and answered a variety of questions from the audience.

All in all a very interesting and informative session.

Thanks to Melissa for coming out, and a special thanks to Brenda Guiney for arranging her visit.

And if you have any ideas for future Live 'n Learn events please let us know.
