Speaker
Description
Sleep is fundamental to physical and mental health and plays a critical role in overall well-being. While it is well-established that sleep disturbances are a risk factor for mental disorders, and that insomnia is a severe condition in itself, the assessment and monitoring of sleep have become increasingly important not only in clinical populations but also in the general population across all life stages, with a strong emphasis on prevention. In recent years, growing scientific interest in sleep research methodologies has led to the integration of both traditional and innovative approaches. Established techniques, such as polysomnography and actigraphy, have been complemented by newer methodologies, broadening research perspectives on the relationship between sleep and well-being.
This symposium will explore the associations between sleep features and well-being across the lifespan. Debora Meneo will examine the impact of sleep during pregnancy and post-partum on the well-being of mother and child, presenting an innovative perspective on this critical period. Giorgia Degasperi will explore the association between sleep quality and eating worries in young adults, introducing an ecological approach to sleep research. Giulia Aquino will present an EEG analysis of the neural correlates of insomnia in adult patients, with a specific focus on slow oscillations and REM sleep, offering a novel approach to understanding the mechanisms underlying insomnia. Finally, Elisabetta Fasiello will investigate sleep alterations in aging, focusing on REM Sleep Behavior Disorder as an early marker of neurodegeneration, presenting an innovative perspective to advance early detection and intervention strategies.
