Is sleep loss a health risk? Find out April 25 at CCNY’s Mini-Medical School

Getting enough sleep can be a struggle. But according to The National Center For Health Research, the gap between getting just enough sleep and getting too little may affect your health, your mood, your weight, and your ability to concentrate.

Find out why organizations like the National Football League are prioritizing sleep and you should too – on April 25 at the CUNY School of Medicine’s Mini-Medical School at The City College of New York. This informative session is free and open to the Harlem community. The evening’s topic, "Sleep Health and the Importance of Getting A Good Night's Sleep," will be presented by Mediha I. Ibrahim, Director of the Sleep Medicine Center, and a Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Physician at Saint Barnabas Hospital. 

Dr. Ibrahim will explain in detail why she believes "Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life." And she’ll take questions from the audience about their sleep habits and health challenges.
