[ARCHIVED] Orange County to offer discussion on Sleep Health

The Orange County Department on Aging and the Project EngAGE Mental Wellness Senior Resource Team invite the public to attend a discussion on The Importance of Sleep Hygiene on August 26. 

In our fast-paced world, sleep is often the first thing we sacrifice, yet it is one of the most powerful tools we have for better health, sharper focus, and emotional well-being. The reality? Up to 70% of Americans face sleep-related challenges, and many don’t realize how closely connected sleep is to emotional and mental well-being. The good news? Better sleep starts with better habits.

Join Dr. Tracey Holsinger, a geriatric psychiatrist with deep expertise in mind-body health, for a powerful conversation about sleep hygiene—and how small, practical changes to your nightly routine can lead to clearer thinking, improved mood, and a greater sense of balance. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, or just want to feel more mentally grounded, this discussion offers tools to help you reconnect with one of the most natural (and underrated) forms of self-care: quality sleep.

This FREE in-person event will take place on Tue, Aug 26 from 4 – 5:30 at the Seymour Center, located at 2551 Homestead Rd in Chapel Hill.

Please register by Mon, Aug 25 at 919-968-2070. If you have questions or need assistance with registration, please contact Shenae McPherson at 919-245-4243.
