Description

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the science of sleep through an integrative lens. Participants will explore how sleep affects neurological, psychological, and systemic health, and how its disruption can serve as both a symptom and a cause of deeper imbalances.

The course combines recent research with clinical insights to help practitioners understand how to evaluate sleep quality in patient assessments.

This knowledge serves as a critical platform for subsequent sessions that delve deeper into specific disorders and therapeutic interventions.

Sleep disorders are vastly underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed due to lack of awareness, even as they are directly linked to:
• Chronic fatigue and burnout
• Anxiety and depressive disorders
• Poor academic and work performance
• Metabolic and cardiovascular diseases
• Road accidents and workplace errors
Often, patients report secondary symptoms (e.g., irritability, weight gain, reduced immunity) and sleep is not investigated as the root cause. This gap calls for formal training in identifying and classifying sleep disorders.
