Jan had the program today. She talked about the benefits of Sleep. Sleep is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Sleep is needed for maintaining your physical and mental health. Sleep helps keep your appetite in check and helps avoid overeating. It is recommended older adults get at least 9 hours of sleep each night. Jan’s program sparked a good discussion among members with tips and suggestions to get a good night’s sleep.  Thank you, Jan, for a great program.
