In just a few days, the national meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies - known as SLEEP 2013 - gets underway in Baltimore, Maryland. This promises to be an exciting time with education, new research revelations, and the unveiling of the latest sleep-related products. This 27th annual meeting is a joint affair between the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society. There will be two keynote addresses. Gary Gibbons, M.D. will speak on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and advances in sleep research as well as future opportunities. Thomas Roth, Ph.D. will speak on the evolution of insomnia in both a research and clinical context. In addition, multiple invited lecturers will speak on fatigue, sleep apnea, dreams, learning, insomnia, metabolism, narcolepsy, circadian rhythm disorders, restless legs, and numerous other topics. There will be workshops, courses, panel discussions, and presentations throughout the nearly week-long conference. Research studies will be presented, with major findings unveiled in the days to come. Abstracts summarizing smaller discoveries will also be shared.
