Description

Technology can have a significant impact on sleep and circadian rhythms, yet it also presents opportunities to improve the delivery of evidence-based treatments for sleep disorders. Drs. Ong, Meltzer, and Thorndike will focus on three topics that highlight the interplay between technology and sleep: 1) What should clinicians know about consumer sleep tracking devices? 2) How should clinicians approach the use of technology at bedtime for children and adolescents? 3) Can the emergence of digital therapeutics enhance the delivery of cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia? Their discussion will incorporate historical, scientific, and practical perspectives on these topics.
