09.17.24 | Sleepy, Surly, Spacey, Sedentary, Sugared-up, Scary on the Road, Somatic/sore, and a Bit Less Smart: one investigator’s journey toward understanding the importance of adolescent sleep
Live Webinar ~ 12:00 - 1:00 PM EST
Guest Speaker
Dr. Dean Beebe, PhD, ABPP
Professor of Pediatric
University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
Session Overview
Adolescents notoriously sleep less than is recommended on school nights and have a reputation for wide swings in sleep timing. This talk summarizes the major findings to date from a research program on the impact of those sleep patterns, balancing experimental methods with real-world conditions and outcomes. Amongst other things, attendees will learn whether the title refers sleep sleep-deprived adolescents, the investigator, or both. In addition to published findings confirming the benefits of longer sleep for adolescents, this talk will present tantalizing preliminary evidence that those benefits may be impacted by when adolescents sleep.
Target Audience
This educational initiative is designed for local, regional, national, and international physicians (primary care and specialists), nurses, nurse practitioners, psychologists, physician assistants, social workers, residents, fellows, medical students, and other allied memebers of the sleep and circadian rhythms care team.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this activity, attendees should be better able to:
- List emotional and behavioral consequences of common levels of inadequate sleep by adolescents.
- Identify health-related behaviors shown to be sensitive to short sleep during adolescence.
- Describe emerging research into the importance of the timing of adolescent sleep, complementing research into the amount of sleep adolescents receive
