Audience: The intended audience of this webinar is adult members of the TS and Tic Disorder community, but all members of the community who may benefit are welcome.
Description: Are you familiar with Spinsomnia? It’s time to sleep, but your mind won’t stop moving – and neither will your body. Adulting with Tourette Syndrome is challenging enough, but it’s a lot easier when you are getting refreshing sleep. There is a good chance that you will find yourself closer to your dreams after this event.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the science of sleep.
- Discuss how Tourette Syndrome impacts sleep.
- Collaborate on the complexities of having TS as an adult, and how sleep is often compromised.
- Use ideas to better understand your sleep needs and create a plan to improve your sleep.
