Pre-Conference Workshop: Sleep

Thursday, November 5

Sleep disturbances are among the most common yet overlooked challenges in psychiatric care. This in-depth pre-conference workshop equips clinicians with the knowledge and practical tools needed to accurately diagnose and effectively treat sleep disorders across diverse patient populations.

Through expert-led sessions and interactive panel discussions, you will explore the neurobiology of sleep, sharpen your diagnostic approach, and apply evidence-based, mechanism-informed treatment strategies you can use immediately in practice.

What You Will Learn

  • Differentiate insomnia, hypersomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnias, and sleep-related breathing disorders using a structured clinical framework
  • Understand the key neurotransmitter systems that regulate sleep and wakefulness
  • Apply targeted screening tools and objective testing to improve diagnostic accuracy
  • Integrate pharmacologic and behavioral treatments for better patient outcomes
