Strategies for Improving Your Sleep is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of adult services and community participation. In Strategies for Improving Your Sleep, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better alignment between intervention and the family context in which it must survive, not in abstract discussion alone.

These problems are unlikely to abate without treatment and may be worsen the quality of life ((Lee et al., 2009). Efficacious and socially acceptable interventions can be derived by understanding sleep and sleep problems through the lens of a contingency and by considering our evolutionary history and cultural variables. The goal of this presentation is to discuss (a) common sleep problems experienced by adults, (b) factors that influence sleep and sleep problems, (c) a behavioral conceptualization of sleep, and (d) strategies for improving sleep.
