Aaaaah, the "rest button." In today's world, sleep (or even resting) is often more elusive than we wish.  Lack of sleep has been linked to accidents, diminished immune function, weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes. Learn sleep induction techniques to use right in your own bed, plus powerful relaxation techniques to set the stage for deeper, more satisfying sleep every night. Public classes (described below) are offered intermitently through Stanford University's Health Improvement Program. Register online at http://hip.stanford.edu.
