Event Details

We are delighted to invite you to our Evening Webinar with  Dr Peter Venn, who will be presenting on Insomnia - The correct placing of Daridorexant in the NICE guideline pathway.

Learning objectives:

• There are 7 categories of sleep disorder laid down in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-3 2014)
• These are:
  o Insomnias
  o Breathing disorders of sleep
  o Disorders of central hypersomnolence
  o Parasomnias
  o Circadian rhythm disorders/sleep-wake disorders
  o Movement disorders in Sleep
  o Miscellaneous
  
   

• Insomnia and breathing disorders of sleep are the most common seen in clinical practice
• Breathing disorders of sleep are frequently associated with cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities
• The incidence of sleep disordered breathing is rising rapidly due to obesity
• The most common symptom affecting sleep disordered breathing is daytime sleepiness with implications for ability to drive safely
• The Epworth Sleepiness Scale and STOPBang scores are used to assess risk of having sleep disordered breathing
• Parasomnias are common in childhood but they may return in adulthood, often precipitated by arousal phenomena
• Circadian rhythm delay is frequent in youngsters but can be a lifelong problem
• Restricted sleep and circadian rhythm abnormalities are associated with mental deterioration in later life
• The most common movement disorder is periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD)
• PLMD may be associated with Restless Legs Syndrome
• There is a lack of awareness of sleep disorders in medical practice and the undergraduate curriculum needs to be revised to take this into account
