‘Elections and Sleep, Alcohol Consumption & Public Mood’ to be held at Griffin Museum March 27

The following was submitted by the Winchester Coalition:

On Wednesday, March 27, the Winchester Coalition and the League of Women Voters of Winchester will be hosting “Elections and Sleep, Alcohol Consumption & Public Mood” with Tony Cunningham, PhD, at the Griffin Museum, 67 Shore Road, beginning at 7 p.m.

Cunningham will speak on the impact that elections and other political stressors can have on sleep, alcohol consumption and mood. He will also offer healthy coping strategies that can be applied this year and beyond.

Cunningham is the director for the Center for Sleep and Cognition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. His primary research focus is understanding the role of sleep and sleep loss in emotion and memory processing and how knowledge of these systems can be applied to both healthy and clinical populations.

While the presentation starts at 7 p.m., anyone who would like to come early will have the opportunity to view the Griffin’s exhibit titled “In the Room Where it Happened,” which displays photographs of past presidents by their official photographers.  The exhibit closes on 3/30 so this could be your last chance.
