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.

Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the link between sleep-wake disturbance, neuropsychological performance, and biomarkers of neurodegeneration.
2. List the effects of sleep loss on aspects of decision making.
3. Explain the neurobiological mechanisms and brain imaging evidence underlying the cognitive effects of sleep loss.
