Speaker: Lise Alschuler, ND, FABNO This pre-conference intensive provides a deep dive into sleep from an integrative perspective. We review sleep architecture, the rationale for sleep, define sleep quality and discuss the importance of dreaming. From there we review several types of insomnia, specifically onset insomnia, maintenance insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome. For each of these conditions, the discussion includes pathophysiological contributors, and the benefits and risks of leading conventional and pharmaceutical management strategies. Finally, integrative and botanical approaches based on clinical experience are presented.
