Healthcare professionals.

Educational Need

Contrary to constitutional diagnostic and treatment lineage for insomnia and sleep deprivation, there are still considerable gaps in positive treatment outcomes and overall patient satisfaction. Despite insomnia affecting roughly 30% of the adult population, studies highlight patients going unnoticed with their sleep issues in the healthcare system. This is partly a consequence of primary care clinicians often lacking the ability to screen, assess, and treat insomnia. This gap can lead to many acute and chronic consequences that come with sleep deprivation.

Learning Objectives

  1. Comprehend the clinical challenge of insomnia.
  2. Review how we manufacture sleep.
  3. Contrast why we sleep and why we cannot.
  4. Recognize the consequences of sleep deprivation both acutely and chronically.
  5. Acknowledge the role of sleep hygiene and the circadian rhythm.
  6. Learn the role of treatment and limitations for insomnia and sleep deprivation.
  7. Differentiate how to survey for poor sleep (what can we learn as providers).
  8. Summarize how to encourage change for patients (what we can do as providers).
