Topics Covered:
1. Caring for Your Adolescent’s Sleep Health – Assistant Professor June Lo
Adolescents are experiencing a sleep crisis. Increasing academic demands, social pressures, and late-night technology use have significantly disrupted their sleep patterns. Yet, sleep is critical for their cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Inadequate sleep affects mental health, school performance and well-being. Dr. June Lo, an assistant professor at the Center for Sleep and Cognition at NUS, will dive into the science behind adolescent sleep, and explain why teens struggle to get enough sleep. She will also share what parents and educators can do to support them.
2. Women Health and Sleep – From Pregnancy to Postmenopause – Dr Foong Tsin Uin
Women experience unique sleep challenges throughout different life stages—from pregnancy and postpartum to menopause. Hormonal fluctuations, physical changes, and shifting responsibilities can significantly impact sleep quality and overall well-being. Yet, these sleep issues are often overlooked or misunderstood. Join Dr. Foong Tsin Uin, Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer of Osler Health International, as she sheds light on how these different stages affect sleep and what can be done to improve it.
3. When Does Snoring becomes a Sleep Disorder? – Dr Han Hong Juan
For many, snoring is dismissed as harmless, but it could be a red flag for an underlying sleep disorder like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Left untreated, sleep disorders can lead to serious health issues such as hypertension, heart disease, and impaired cognitive function. But how do you tell the difference between benign snoring and something that requires medical attention? Dr. Han Hong Juan, recognised for his expertise in adopting and staying up-to-date on the treatment innovations for Sleep Apnea, will share insights on how to recognize when snoring is more than just noise and what you can do about it.
4. Sleep Tight, Think Right: How Sleep Affects Brain Health – Dr Julian Lim
We all know sleep is important, but do we really understand what happens to the brain when we don’t get enough? In the short term, poor sleep affects your focus, memory, and work performance—especially in jobs that demand precision and deep thinking. In the long run, the consequences can be even more serious, impacting brain health and increasing the risk of cognitive decline. Join Dr Julian Lim, Lead Sleep Psychologist and Co-Founder of Somnus Sleep Wellness, to see what happens inside your brain when you skimp on sleep and find out whether sacrificing rest for productivity is really a smart trade-off. Spoiler: Your brain might not agree!
