The Effects of Sleep Deprivation on the Entertainment Industries

Educational Session

The entertainment industry regularly requires its workers to put in very long days in succession resulting in short sleep opportunities. This session will explore some of the myriad health benefits of getting regular sleep and the harm caused by not getting enough sleep. We will discuss some of the possible solutions and openly discuss the subject.

The goal of this session is to raise awareness of the long term detrimental effects of sleep deprivation and inspire the industry to look at ways of addressing some of our harmful practices.
