Integrate Technology to Assess Sleep Disorders
Sleep is a human necessity. It helps us grow muscle, repair tissue, synthesize hormones, consolidate memory, and generally restore and rejuvenate our bodies. Yet when sleep goes awry, it damages multiple body systems and processes and eventually leads to sleep disorders. In this package of CME lectures, renowned sleep expert Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, discusses the scientific evidence about the causes and treatments of sleep dysfunction. She also suggests technological devices and interactive tools for patients to provide practitioners with real-time data to assess sleep disorders. A panel of sleep experts also discusses technology for assessing and interpreting sleep data.

Rest, Sleep, and Circadian Rhythms: Exploring the Underlying Causes of Insomnia and Other Sleep Disturbances - Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD

Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD
Circadian and sleep function is essential for cell function, neural connectivity, and plasticity. When the body’s systems and processes are dysregulated, disease and sleep disorders can easily set in. Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, uses scientific evidence to demonstrate the positive and negative impacts that sleep and circadian cycles have on the body. Improving circadian rhythms and sleep is both disease prevention and modification.

Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders: Assessment and Treatment - Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD

Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders appear when an individual experiences a recurring disruption of sleeping and waking rhythms for at least three months. Accordingly, sleep-wake disorders can cause mental, physical, social, occupational, educational, and other impairments in normal functioning. As a natural follow-up to her first lecture, Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, recommends that healthcare workers treat sleep-wake disorders by considering not only sleep cycles but other daily cycles as well, including activity, feeding, and light exposure. Zee provides tools that practitioners can use to address these daily cycles to treat sleep-wake disorders.

The Emerging Area of Innovative Sleep Tools - Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD; Jason C. Ong, PhD; Bryan Glick, DO; Jose Colon, MD, MPH

In this video, four sleep experts make brief presentations on various tools and techniques that measure and/or treat sleep disorders, sleep apnea, sleep awareness, and insomnia. Afterward, these experts sit on a panel where they field questions about, among other topics, psychosocial matters that accompany the treatment of sleep disorders. For example, while the panel suggests patients use actigraphy devices to their fullest abilities, they also caution about over-monitoring the data.
