About this education

This educational webinar aims to update general practitioners regarding the emerging understanding of sleep, sleep physiology and sleep architecture that has taken insomnia out of a symptoms-based paradigm and into a recognition as a disorder in its own right.

Greater understanding of normal sleep, effective mechanisms for assessing sleep disorders, contemporary non-pharmacological advice are the basis of good sleep management in general practice.

The development of orexin-based agents for pharmacological management provides an alternative to the currently available GABA-agonist hypnotics currently used in insomnia in Australia.
