Webcast: COVID-19, How to Avoid Chronic Sleep Problems Before They Get Started, 4/15/20

About this forum

In this online forum, Dr. Karestan Koenen hosts Dr. Donn Posner, president of Sleepwell Consultants, to address changes and concerns related to sleep during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Posner shows how acute insomnia can evolve from a normal stress reaction to a disorder necessitating targeted treatment and speaks about how the practice of social distancing can increase the likelihood of this evolution. This forum also provides some ideas about how to possibly prevent this transition from occurring during high stress situations like COVID-19. This forum ends with a short Q & A session moderated by Dr. Bizu Gelaye.
