Summary

Do you struggle with chronic or acute sleep issues? Do you want to deeply understand the fundamentals of sound sleep? Are you serious about getting your sleep on track?

Whether sleep issues are chronic, stemming from ongoing, underlying issues or stress-induced, learn how to take control of the nightly challenge of unhealthy sleep patterns. This course empowers participants to create sustainable modifications through a deep understanding of sleep neuroscience and learning strategies of behavioral change to create a foundation for consistent healthy sleep. During this 6-week class, learners will participate in a blend of weekly self-paced online modules and interactive live lectures and workshops. The online modules will dive into sleep neuroscience and the accompanying evidence-based behavioral health science behind creating a healthy foundation for sleep.

  • All participants will receive a Somni premium sleep health kit with products designed to improve any sleeping environment.
  • Expert guest lecturers from the fields of Sleep Behavioral Medicine, Genetics and Health Design will be accessible to learners.
