Description

In the hustle of addressing immediate physical and cognitive impairments, the profound influence of sleep on patient recovery fades into the background. This oversight is a missed opportunity to enhance patient outcomes, especially in managing chronic conditions, pain, and the complexities of aging.

Through this training, you’ll explore sleep through the lens of rehabilitation and learn to integrate sleep assessment and intervention into your treatment plan. Discover:

  • How sleep supports the restorative healing process, memory consolidation, and strengthens immune system
  • Practical ‘sleep hygiene’ tactics for patients in any setting
  • Actionable insights for various patient populations: aging adults, athletes, chronic pain, and more!
  • Ways to navigate common misconceptions about age-related sleep changes

Finish with enhanced clinical reasoning, tools to improve treatment outcomes and lifelong health benefits for a long-lasting impact on your patients’ health and your own professional and personal well-being.

Watch this transformative training to redefine patient care through the power of sleep!
