Summa Health Sleep Symposium

The Other Side of Sleep: Exploring Conditions That Don’t Get Enough Attention

Thursday, March 12, 2026 | 8 a.m. - Noon
 
Sleep affects every system of the body — yet many sleep-related conditions are insufficiently recognized, diagnosed and treated. We invite you to join us for a dynamic educational course dedicated to uncovering the lesser known, often overlooked aspects of sleep medicine.


In this evidence-based program, we will explore:

  • Sleep disorders beyond obstructive sleep apnea
  • Insomnia, parasomnia, restless leg syndrome and narcolepsy
  • The relationship between sleep disorders and neurological, mental and physical health
  • Practical strategies for earlier identification and improved patient outcomes

Who should attend:

Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, psychologists, nurses and all clinicians seeking deeper insight into sleep’s role in whole-patient care.

Why this course matters:

As research evolves, it’s clear that sleep is not merely a restorative state, it’s a diagnostic window into health. By understanding the conditions that don’t yet receive enough attention, clinicians can transform care pathways and improve quality of life for countless patients.
