Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, and its incidence is increasing across the globe due to stress, mental health problems, and a fast-paced lifestyle. When sleep is disrupted, the effects reach far beyond tiredness, increasing the chances of stroke, seizures, headaches, mood problems, productivity loss, and cognitive decline.
This track covers the full range of sleep conditions, including insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, REM sleep behavior disorder, and circadian rhythm disorders. Sessions will look at the links between sleep and neurological health, newer treatments such as orexin receptor antagonists, and practical approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. We will also explore how wearables and home sleep testing are making diagnosis faster and easier.
Sleep specialists, neurologists, pulmonologists, psychologists, and researchers are welcome to share work that helps people rest better and stay healthier.
