Rachel Rusholme-Pilcher. The Science of Sleep.

Wednesday 9th September 2015
Our speaker at our Meeting was Rachel Rusholme-Pilcher, who is the Norfolk Federation Science Officer. She did a wonderful talk on The Science of Sleep, and – she managed to keep everyone awake! It can be so easy to feel sleepy when talking about sleep. Rachel managed to explain what happens when we sleep in such a way that it was easily understood, and incredibly fascinating. The talk appeared to be enjoyed by all and there were many questions at the end for Rachel to answer. A big thank you to Rachel for such an interesting talk.
The competition was Best tip for a good night’s sleep. There were several entries and Rachel chose the winner. Rachel emphasised that the best thing for a good night’s sleep was getting into a good routine. And unfortunately, no caffeine after around 1600hrs!
A big thank you to everyone who supported our jumble sale in September, money raised from this helps us, as a Charity organisation, to keep running.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 11th November 2015 at the Community Centre. As usual, there will be no speaker for this meeting as it is our annual meeting. We look forward to seeing everyone there. Don’t forget to bring your mug.
Visitors are always welcome at our meetings.  If there are any queries, please contact Pam Cooper, President on 01508 491674 or Lesley Sanders, Secretary on 01508 492155.
