Sleep Quality: Implications for Health Outcomes- 1.0 CEU

Program Description

Sleep is essential for healthy brain function and physical health, whereas sleep deprivation adversely affects physiological functions including those of the CNS, Immune, Respiratory, Digestive, Cardiovascular, and Endocrine systems.

Sleep regulation consists of two main processes: the sleep dependent process and sleep independent process.

  1. 1. The sleep dependent process characterizes sleep need, which builds up during wakefulness and dissipates during sleep.
  2. 2. The sleep independent process is governed by the circadian rhythm.

Studies have shown that many of the beneficial effects of sleep on the restoration of brain function are thought to be mediated primarily by slow waves in Non-REM sleep. Additionally, slow wave sleep has been shown to play a pivotal role in the optimization of memory consolidation. Various pharmacological and peripheral (electric/magnetic/sensory) stimulation methods have been proposed to enhance slow waves.

The purpose of this activity is to examine the enhancement of slow wave sleep, and the effect this may have on brain health and improved memory consolidation. This 1.00 hour academic presentation relates specifically to “Sleep Quality: Implications for Health Outcomes”.

Intended Audience

This activity is intended for healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients described as short-sleepers. This especially applies to the following clinical fields: Primary Care Medicine, Sleep Medicine, Internal Medicine, Nursing and Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants.

Educational Objectives

  • Explain the contributing factors that define poor sleep quality.
  • Describe the behavorial consequences of sleep loss.
  • Describe the physiologic consequences of sleep loss.
  • Discuss the clinical presentation of chronic sleep deprivation.

Tip Jar

We pay  fees to keep this website available. If we don't get enough money to cover the costs, this site will go away.
This is a privately run site, just me & my husband. He helped me set it up & I have been running it since then. I am the one who finds the CEUs & posts them. The site saves you techs money & helps you keep your certification(s). If each person who uses the site would give $2 or more at least once, it would cover the cost of keeping the site up and give us a small profit. After over 7 years of running this site, the income from ads & tips barely pays for itself. We make NOTHING for our time & effort to keep it up. A tip is a way to say thanks & to keep this site available for everyone.

As always, there are no fees or registration required to use this site.
Thanks in advance!

Our processing fee for Paypal went from 20 cents to 33 cents for a minimum transaction.  To offset that, I changed the minimum donation to $2.
