Have you ever thought about how sleep deprivation affects your motor skills? If you attended the Health Fair on Thursday April 28, 2016 in the Harvin Center, then you know when you’re sleep deprived your motor skills are inhibited. Del Mar College Nursing students staged examples on how certain decisions can affect your health from hearing loss to safe sex. The fair also featured a wellness screening for students sponsored and conducted by Spohn Hospital.
