Chronic insomnia is the most common sleep disorder and serves as a risk factor for both mental and physical health conditions. This talk will teach listeners how brief periods of insomnia occur, how poor sleep impacts us, and how our physiology and behavior often turn a few nights of bad sleep into chronic insomnia. Listeners will also learn about the most effective treatments for insomnia and how they can apply some of these principles in their own lives to either prevent or treat chronic insomnia.
