As a mom of a toddler with teeth coming in, let me be the first to tell you how much I value sleep. Sometimes my girlfriends and I sit around and talk dreamily about our babies sleeping through the night the way we used to talk about great fashion, great food, and great men. So I was intrigued when I heard about the Sleep Expo on February 20th at Ann Arbor’s Art Van Furniture.

I like Art Van, there furniture is affordable, and they offer loads of durable pieces that can withstand jumping, crayons, or a full family of TV watching snugglers. I now like them even more, if they value sleep the way I do.

At the Sleep Expo, sadly, there will not be any sleep happening. But, from 10AM to 3PM this Saturday, the Ann Arbor Store will offer the following free events:

• Complimentary neck or shoulder massage,
• Hand or foot reflexology,
• Free refreshments and gifts,
• A Sleep to Live Diagnostic Test,
• And the following Demonstrations and lectures:

11:00 a.m. - 11:40 a.m. Al Vanderlinden, Sleep to Live "How to Get a Good Night's Sleep"

Noon - 12:40 p.m. A2 Yoga & Wellness Center "How to Relax with Yoga" Talk and Demonstration

1:00 p.m. - 1:40 p.m. "Ask the Doctor" Dr. Bradley Rowens with The Michigan Institute for Sleep Medicine will answer questions on sleep disorders such as: sleep apnea, snoring, insomnia, and REM sleep disorders
