Hello Sleep
In this dizzying age where everything is about optimization, we often lose sight of the foundation of sleep health—our relationship with sleep. This paradigm-shifting workshop invites your team to reframe the way they approach sleep and its promises. Dr. Wu will challenge conventional advice, teach practical solutions, and offer insights that go far deeper than “sleep hygiene.”
The power of sleep for collective healing
Have you ever wondered what would be different about your sleep if racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression did not exist? This interactive workshop explores the roots of our society’s strained relationships with rest and sleep, and helps attendees to reimagine their own rest for a healthier life and more just society.
Sleep changes during pregnancy and postpartum
During one of the most exciting and nerve-wracking times in a woman’s life, sleep can take a rollercoaster ride just as it becomes more important than ever for her and her baby’s health. Dr. Wu breaks down the clinical science of what’s normal, what’s a red flag, and how parents (and healthcare providers) can protect sleep so all can thrive during the transition to parenthood.
