About this Event
Unlock the mysteries of sleep and its profound impact on health during The Science of Insomnia.
Led by Dr. Christina Pierpaoli Parker, Assistant Professor in the UAB Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurobiology, this webinar will challenge the notion that sleep's primary function is merely to cure sleepiness. Attendees will gain an understanding of sleep's architecture and function, and how it supports all aspects of human health and well-being.
Dr. Pierpaoli Parker will provide a global understanding of sleep as we delve into the pathogenesis and symptoms of common sleep disorders, including insomnia. Join us as we learn about the cognitive-behavioral intervention strategies that are effective in preventing and managing insomnia, offering practical and actionable insights.
