2. Program Schedule Sweet Dreams: Helping students with sleep issues Sleep is a key component of academic success. Sleep affects health, brain and emotional functioning and safety.  Insufficient sleep can contribute to increased stress, difficulty concentrating, trouble accomplishing daily life tasks and poorly handling of minor irritants.  Sleep loss can impair memory, learning and logical reasoning, contribute to mistakes or poor productivity at school or work and lead to tense interpersonal relationships.  90.3% of respondents from the spring 2012 NACHA- ACHA survey reported having problems with sleepiness in the past 7 days.  Sleep issues are a major problem on today's college campuses.  This program will address many of these topics and offer ways to help students deal with these problems with diet, developing a routine, exercise and breaking bad habits. 5:30-5:50 – Registration 6:00 – Welcome Debby Mathis 6:10 - Build-your-own salad buffet 6:30– “Sweet Dreams” Amanda Swain, MD 7:30– “An Ounce of Prevention” Liz Manai, BFA, RN, CTH Lisa Keogh, BSN, RN, CTH 8:30-9:00 Business meeting Robyn Spragins An Ounce of Prevention: Helping students Prepare for Foreign Travel Today's college students travel for a variety of reasons: study abroad, volunteering, clinical or leadership experience, vacation and adventure. Their destinations range from the old cities of Western Europe to developing countries of Africa to remote uninhabited natural wonders of South America. Student health services need to offer travel consultations to student travelers to provide travel, health care and risk reduction advice. The students meet with a health care provider, frequently a nurse, to assess risk based on the traveler’s health, planned activities, destination, and length of stay. Even the political climate may be considered. A post- travel health assessment my be recommended for longer stays abroad. Travel consultations reduce risk while preserving the traveler’s adventure and personal growth, and are encouraged for all travelers regardless of experience traveling, destination, or length of the trip. This lecture will provide a more thorough understanding of travel risks and reduction measures, immunizations, and consultation procedures.
