Upcoming KAPA CE event
Treatment of Insomnia and Related Sleep Disorders
Summary: Over the past five decades, an avalanche of discoveries has documented the mental and physical health benefits of good sleep. Yet, insomnia remains one of the the most common complaints seen in both primary care and psychology. This presentation aims to remind us of the basic physiological processes underlying sleep. We will then review the wide range of potential disorders which can present as insomnia or a related symptom. Finally, we will dive into a novel, modular, and trans diagnostic cognitive-behavioral approach to the treatment of insomnia and related disorders. If there is time, we will also discuss how to work with patients around tapering and discontinuing hypnotic medications.
