Unlocking The Power Of Sleep
The goal of this workshop is to provide attendees with a unique opportunity to explore the latest advancements in the field of sleep research. Through a series of three thought-provoking talks, attendees will uncover the connections between sleep, decision-making, neurodegeneration, and cognitive performance.
Join us as we explore the power of sleep and the influence it has on brain function and cognitive health. Attendees will hear about the fascinating world where sleep disturbances intersect with dementia and explore cutting-edge screening and treatment strategies. Discover how various forms of sleep deprivation, from total sleep loss to self-selected short sleep, shape our ability to make decisions. Attendees will also gain invaluable insights into the implications for neuropsychological assessments. Lastly, attendees will hear about the repercussions of insufficient sleep on cognitive abilities. From healthy individuals to those grappling with neurocognitive disorders, discover the effects of sleep deprivation on the brain.
