The mystery and magic of a good night sleep will be
discussed at the September 28 Grinnell Regional Medical Center Senior Education
Program. All are invited to hear Melisa Coaker, MD, Mercy Sleep Center, discuss
The Science of a Good Night Sleep.
Coaker sees patient at GRMC in the visiting specialty
clinic as well as provides oversight to the GRMC Sleep Lab, operated by Mercy
Sleep Lab. Her SE*ED program will focus on why you need a good night sleep,
factors affecting your sleep, sleep disorders, and misconceptions about sleep.

disorders like insomnia, sleep apnea, insufficient sleep, and restless legs
syndrome. She will send participants home with sleep hygiene tips to improve
their sleep quality.
