Date & Time

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria and key clinical features of breathing- related sleep disorders, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, parasomnias, restless legs syndrome, and substance/medication-induced sleep disorders. ​

  • Differentiate common sleep-wake disorder presentations using symptom timing, sleep-stage association, patient-reported symptoms, and functional impairment. ​

  • Apply DSM-5-TR diagnostic concepts to clinical case examples involving delayed sleep phase, insomnia, nightmare disorder, and NREM sleep arousal disorders. ​

  • Recognize when sleep-related symptoms may require additional assessment, referral, or consideration of medical, psychiatric, medication-related, or substance-related contributors.​

The course emphasizes diagnostic criteria, associated clinical features, differential considerations, and practical case-based application to support more accurate assessment, documentation, and referral decision-making.​
