scientific Sessions

As part of the 3rd Edition of the International Neurology Conference (INC 2025), this dedicated session on sleep disorders aims to explore the latest research, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic interventions in this rapidly evolving field. Sleep disorders, ranging from insomnia and narcolepsy to sleep apnoea and restless leg syndrome, significantly impact neurological and overall health. With increasing awareness of their multifaceted etiologic and far-reaching consequences, this session will provide a platform for in-depth discussion and knowledge sharing among experts and practitioners.

Sleep disorders are complex conditions that disrupt the natural sleep-wake cycle and have profound implications on mental, physical, and neurological health. Sleep is a vital physiological process regulated by intricate neural mechanisms involving the interplay of neurotransmitters, hormones, and circadian rhythms. When these mechanisms are disrupted, individuals may experience a broad spectrum of sleep-related problems, ranging from difficulty falling asleep (insomnia) to excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia).

Research indicates that sleep disorders are often comorbid with a variety of medical and psychiatric conditions, such as depression, anxiety, hypertension, and diabetes. Moreover, chronic sleep disturbances can impair memory consolidation, decision-making, and emotional stability, significantly affecting quality of life. Recent studies have also highlighted the role of sleep-in-clearing neurotoxins, emphasizing their importance in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
