20th Annual Sleep Medicine Update 2024

This conference will explore the phenotypic traits and treatment options for obstructive sleep apnea and review pharmacological agents for treatment of insomnia and hypersomnia. We will highlight significant developments in the field of sleep medicine and new treatment recommendations for restless leg syndrome.

We will also summarize nerve stimulation therapies for both central and obstructive sleep apneas and assess the impact of mental health on circadian rhythm and neurodegenerative risk.
