At this camp there will be no bugs or wet sleeping bags… but there will be a lot of hard work! The goal of this camp is not to just teach you strategies for better sleep, but to coach you on how to understand your own sleep patterns, learn how to take action in a personalized way, and conquer insomnia for good.

At camp you will learn:

1. What drives your sleep and your insomnia
2. How to get your sleep back on track (and keep it there)
3. How to stay calm if insomnia shows up again

This camp is for you if:

• You experience chronic insomnia. This means difficulty sleeping (despite your best efforts) at least 3 nights a week, for the span of at least 3 months.
• You are willing and able to engage in some sleep homework! There will be weekly sleep logs and behavioural changes that will be asked of you.

Unfortunately, this camp is NOT for you if:

• You are not able to fully attend 6 weekly sessions.
• You have one of the following health conditions
  • Epilepsy
  • Recent concussion
  • Bipolar disorder  (But you can book a 1-1 session with a Peer Wellness Coach to discuss sleep instead)

Camp starts Tuesday, October 24  from 1:30-3:00pm, in person.  Attendance at all 6 sessions is essential. Email swsotref@queensu.ca to register.
