Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Sleep and circadian disturbances and disorders are highly prevalent in the United States. An estimated 35% of the adult population in the U.S. suffer from inadequate sleep duration, leading to an increase in disability, morbidity, and mortality. Sleep deprivation resulting from lifestyle factors is also common in our society, further affecting the health of U.S. adults. The most frequently diagnosed sleep disorders in adults are insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea and sleep movement disorders. Awareness of these common disorders is the first step in being able to clinically recognize such sleep disorders in patients. Healthcare providers must be aware of the health consequences of inadequate sleep and untreated sleep disorders in people they engage with in the clinical setting.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Describe the incidence and prevalence of common sleep disorders in adults
  • Discuss common sleep assessment tools and the indications for them
  • Discuss ways to incorporate a routine sleep assessment into practice
