Come along to Age Concern Kāpiti’s August Learn & Connect Session. These free monthly information sessions run throughout the year and feature presentations from a Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) and a guest speaker, and include time to enjoy a cuppa and connect with others. Thank you to Tū Ora, Compass Heath for supporting these sessions.
Learn & Connect in August:
Getting Better Sleep
For many older people, a normal night’s sleep can be anywhere from 6 to 10 hours, with one or two wake-ups and getting back to sleep within about 20 minutes. Lots of things can get in the way of good sleep, but there are also plenty of ways to support it. Sleeping pills are really only meant to help in the short term. As we get older, the chance of side effects increases, so even short-term use needs a bit of care, and long-term use carries even more risk. Come along to learn what normal sleep can look like, pick up some ideas for improving your own sleep, and explore alternatives to sleeping pills. We’ll also talk about how to get through the day after a rough night. Presented by HIP Emma Fromings.
