The new scenarios in Sleep Medicine lead us to propose new up to date programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate current advances into their daily practice" 

There is an increasing multidisciplinary interest in Sleep Medicine, a rapidly growing discipline. Whether approached from a global point of view or from "partial specialisation" depending on the original field of medicine or specific area of interest, it is always vital to have rigorous and up-to-date generic knowledge in all areas. This postgraduate diploma more than fulfills this objective from an eminently practical point of view. Its approach sets it apart from many other courses on this very transverse discipline, which are often criticised for being too "descriptive" and "theoretical", and therefore not entirely useful in resolving many situations that arise in clinical management. 

With the clear objective of combining scientific evidence and practical utility, this postgraduate diploma in Sleep Disorders in Adult Clinical Neurology has a broad, up to date and unsurpassable program prepared by a varied team of professional experts ( doctors, psychologists, biologists, engineers...), who contribute their proven experience in the form of explanations and practical examples that are both entertaining and clarifying, along with abundant graphic and audiovisual support, absolutely essential in the teaching of this thriving discipline. 

In addition, this postgraduate diploma has the advantage of being developed in a 100% online format, so students will be in charge of deciding when and where to study, distributing their study hours autonomously, so that they can combine their preparation time with the rest of their daily obligations.

General Objective

• To master and/or update the necessary skills and knowledge for adequate practice in the field of Sleep Medicine at a global level, from the clinical and instrumental points of view

Specific Objectives

Module 1. Insomnia in Adults. Sleep in Adult Psychiatry

• Gain a comprehensive overview of the problems of insomnia in the adult population, its different types, as well as understanding the importance and significance of the disorder and the need for its treatment, given its prevalence in the sleep clinic
• Master the necessary knowledge to carry out a diagnosis that allows for the selection of the most appropriate treatment for each case, often mixed and multidisciplinary, from among the different options
• Be able to understand in depth the different non-pharmaceutical treatments, and the different elements they are composed of; mainly the so-called cognitive-behavioural techniques. The student will learn to interpret the reports, learn about their different instruments, clarify their indications and utility, and lay the foundations for optimal collaboration between the different health professionals involved
• Train students in the pharmacological approach to insomnia problems, bringing their knowledge up to date in order to improve prescription, and deepen their
• knowledge in the strategic and individualized planning of the guidelines to be followed according to each case
• Gain an in-depth understanding of the scope of sleep problems, beyond insomnia, associated with different mental health problems, in order to facilitate their overall management, highlighting the important role of achieving adequate sleep in the satisfactory evolution of these pathologies

Module 2. Hypersomnia in Adults Circadian rhythm disorders in adults

• Learn to differentiate between excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue or anhedonia based on their clinical features and potential underlying causes. Understand what we consider to be pathological daytime sleepiness and what diagnostic methods can help to objectify and quantify it
• Gain specific knowledge of the different hypersomnias of central origin and to learn to differentiate between them. The student will be trained and/or update their existing knowledge on the different therapeutic options available for these processes
• Master the knowledge and understanding of the different disorders due to circadian alteration of the wake-sleep cycle, both due to internal alterations and those caused by external factors
• Understand in depth the little known fundamental concepts on which the successful use of light therapy in the prevention and treatment of circadian disturbances is based, its possible modalities of use and its biological basis 
• Provide a rigorous update on the other therapeutic options currently available for the treatment of this type of disorder, including the increasingly popular and widely used melatonin. The student will learn about myths and truths in the treatment of melatonin and will be brought up-to-date in the handling of its different formulas, some of which are new

Module 3. Behavioural and movement disorders during sleep in adults

• Know in depth the field of parasomnias or behavioral disorders and other behavioral situations during NREM sleep and during REM sleep, learning strategies in the necessary differential diagnosis between them and other entities, understanding what their meaning is and how they are managed
• Acquire knowledge in understanding the concept of sleep-wake dissociation and learn to identify, locate and manage the complex and still little known entities integrated in the status dissociatus
• Acquire competences in the understanding and management of restless legs syndrome, know the latest developments in its cause mechanisms and satisfactorily face the resolution of the most problematic aspects of the disease, especially its correct diagnosis and an adequate management that avoids evolutionary complications of inadequate treatment, a circumstance unfortunately all too frequent
• Know how to identify other disorders and manifestations of movement during sleep of a very varied nature, some of them very frequent, know what is known about their meaning, and how to deal with them

Module 4. Sleep-related Neurological Disorders in Adults

• Manage knowledge of the latest developments on the mechanisms by which memory is consolidated during sleep, as well as on the processing of information (sensory and motor)
• Deepen understanding of the concepts of neurobiology, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of REM sleep behaviour disorder and its relationship with the different alpha-synucleopathies, as well as the relationship with different disease phenotypes and therapeutic implications. Know what other sleep disturbances can be found in these diseases and their management and prevention
• Learn about the main sleep disorders in the different dementias, both in their significance, diagnosis and therapeutic management
• Manage knowledge of other neurological disorders that either affect sleep or are characterized by manifesting themselves predominantly during sleep, how they do so and what can be done, such as certain forms of epilepsy, headaches and neurodegenerative autoimmune processes such as anti-IGLON 5 syndrome, among others)
• Know in depth what sleep disturbances occur and what they imply in specific groups of neurological processes, such as neuromuscular diseases, the most frequent neurological autoimmune diseases, cerebrovascular diseases and traumatic brain injury
