The seminar was organized by The Department of Psychology of Sacred Heart College, Thevara, in connection with Sleep Awareness Week, 2022. The topic was ‘Sleep Hygiene’. The Resource Person for the seminar was Dr. Soumya Raj T J, Nodal Officer of the District Mental Health Program of Ernakulam. She is also a consultant psychiatrist of the Government Ashabhavan Rehabilitation Centre, Ernakulam as well as the in-charge of the Covid rapid response team. The purpose of the seminar was to bring into light the importance of sleep in young adults. An approximate of 64 people participated in the seminar. A study conducted showed that 72.7% of teenagers and young adults slept for less than 8 hours while the adequate amount of sleep required is about 8-10 hours, every 24 hours to function well. The topics discussed were: the role of the brain in sleeping, sleep disorders and their causes, management of sleep, and the consequences of not having proper sleep hygiene. It was an enlightening session that gave the participants an insight into the biological processes involved in sleep. The seminar aimed to promote discussion on what causes the lack of sleep hygiene and educated the participants with effective measures to build sleep hygiene. The progressive muscle relaxation technique which is an effective method of managing sleep by relaxing individual muscles in the body was demonstrated by the host and was followed by the participants in the session. Journaling, stimulus control therapy, paradoxical intent, and sleep restriction are other effective sleep management methods that were discussed. There was a Q and A session at the end of the seminar in which participants were given time to ask doubts which the host clarified. The seminar was all in all highly informative and interactive.
