General Objective

• Manage and/or update the knowledge and competences necessary for the appropriate practice of Sleep Medicine at a comprehensive level, from both clinical and instrumental perspectives

Specific Objectives

• To develop a deep understanding of normal sleep, its structure, functions and its evolution throughout the different stages of life. Understand the mechanisms involved at the psychobiological and neurophysiological levels from a practical perspective
• Handle the necessary fundamentals on the chronobiological factors involved in the regulation of wake-sleep cycles, as well as on the evolution of the circadian system throughout life, aspects of great importance in sleep medicine, which the student will learn and understand in this module
• Gain an in-depth understanding of the meaning and the latest developments on the provocative factors in the field of the still little known and poorly understood dream activity from a scientific evidence-based perspective
• Have clear and up to date knowledge of the not infrequent problems of drugs commonly used in prevalent medical problems that modify sleep-wakefulness
• To familiarise yourself with appropriate training in the accurate and structured conduct of clinical history taking and initial orientation of the diagnostic process
• 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
• Manage the necessary knowledge to make a diagnosis that allows, among the different options, to select the most appropriate treatment for each case, often mixed and multidisciplinary
• Be able to know in depth the different non-pharmacological treatments, with the different elements that compose them, mainly the so-called cognitive-behavioral techniques. The student will learn to interpret these reports and learn about their different tools, clarifying their indications and usefulness, laying 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 relevant role of achieving adequate sleep in the satisfactory evolution of these pathologies
• 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
• Have specific knowledge in the different hypersomnias of central origin and 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
• To 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
• To 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
• To 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
