Join us July 16 at Camp North End for the third and final installment of our Think & Drink speaker series

It's no secret a good night's sleep will leave you feeling refreshed, restored and ready to take charge of your day. However, with distractions like noise and technology, getting a night of quality rest is becoming more and more elusive.

Sleep doesn't begin when your head hits the pillow. From levels of stress to the foods you eat, your lifestyle factors play a huge role in determining how well you sleep.

What changes can you easily make to finally achieve blissful sleep? How can great sleep help you make the most of your life?

"You don’t need more sleep, you need better sleep,” says Tara Youngblood, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer at Kryo Inc.

Since launching the ChiliPad in 2007, Tara has spent over 10,000 hours studying the science of sleep. Applying her analytical skills from her physics and engineering background, her passion currently is to shape the future of sleep-driven health by making sleep easy and drug-free.

Grab a drink, experience the power of breathing in an exercise challenge, share your craziest dream and mingle in the courtyard before diving into the science of sleep.

The evening will also feature bites from Fresh Med and beverages from the NoDa Canteen, along with hands-on science elements that you won’t want to miss. Worried about making it to the talk on time after work? Doors open, drinks start flowing, and bites will be served at 6 p.m., but Tara will start her talk at 6:45 p.m.

Parking can found at The Boileryard or The Mount. Keep scrolling for more details.
