Presentation Details
Fatigue: “Doc I’m Tired of Being Tired”
About one-third of our life is spent sleeping. Why do we sleep? Getting enough of it at the right times is as essential to survival as food and water. Without sleep we cannot form or maintain the pathways in our brain that allow us to learn and create new memories, and it’s harder to concentrate and respond quickly.
Sleep is important to a number of brain functions, including how neurons communicate with each other. Dr. Andrew Binder’s presentation will focus on how sleep affects almost every type of tissue and system in the body including the brain, heart, and lungs, metabolism, immune function, mood and disease resistance.
Sleep is a complex and dynamic process that affects how we function in ways scientists are now beginning to understand. Research shows that a chronic lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of disorders including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression and obesity.
This information may be used to inform patients about the vital role sleep plays in overall health and well-being.
Course Objectives:
- Recognize and distinguish the three types of fatigue
- Describe the basic neurology of sleep
- Recognize six categories of sleep disorders
- Discuss evaluation and management of sleep disorders
