In this session, we will identify at least two ways that insufficient or poor sleep can contribute to chronic disease risk, discuss at least two causes of sleep problems, and summarize at least two approaches that healthcare providers can share with patients and clients that have been shown to reduce sleep issues. Upon completion of this activity, learners will have increased knowledge about the effects of sleep problems on chronic disease risk and management and be able to state examples of sleep hygiene best practices.
