Sleep Curriculum Reading List: Circadian-Based Therapies for Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders - Burgess & Emens
Description:
The sleep curriculum reading list provides three hours of required, self-paced reading content composed of seminal peer-reviewed journal articles in the key content areas of the curriculum, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders, nightmares, and addressing co-morbidities including substance use and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Each article provides a greater depth of information regarding its respective content area to enhance the information presented during the workshops and webinars of the curriculum. Providers are expected to read each article and complete an assessment of acquired knowledge. Additionally, recommended readings providers may wish to complete in the future outside of curriculum instructional time are provided.
Learning Objectives:
- Plan culturally aware adaptations of behavioral sleep treatment for military-connected patients
- Appraise at least one proposed mechanism of action for behavioral treatment of sleep disorders [such as circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders and nightmares].
- Support, with evidence from research, a research-backed method that a behavioral provider can use to derive a patients’ circadian phase
- Evaluate the impact of exogenous substances on sleep regulation and physiology
- Investigate the presence of a potential mediator in the role of nightmares’ negative impact on daytime function.
- Analyze the reciprocal relationship between sleep disturbances and co-morbid psychopathology common in military-connected patients
