Ask Dr. Wells: How can I fall asleep more quickly?

11/21/2018

Dr. Greg Wells, a physiologist, exercise medicine researcher and professor of kinesiology, is working with Greenwood students throughout the year on health and well-being. He has created a program unique to Greenwood that we’re infusing into our curriculum, but he has also made himself available to students as a resource. Students can use the “Ask Dr. Wells” feature on our website to submit a question at any time; Dr. Wells will answer these questions in video format throughout the year.

At our November 19 assembly, Dr. Wells addressed a topic that’s likely on everyone’s mind: sleep. “Go to bed earlier” is a common piece of advice when it comes to well-being, but that can be tricky when you have trouble falling asleep in the first place. Check out the video below to see Dr. Wells’ tips on how to drift off to dreamland more quickly.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and as settlers, we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
