DENT 6104EX - Fundamentals of Sleep Biology

External - Semester 2 - 2016

The course information on this page is being finalised for 2016. Please check again before classes commence.

Students are able to summarise the major causes and consequences of acute and chronic sleep deprivation, and compare the effectiveness of different treatment strategies including behavioural and pharmacological interventions; illustrate how sleep affects different systems in the body including the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and endocrine systems; summarise the detrimental influences of jet lag and shift work on circadian biology and the consequences on performance; list the most important measurements required to perform an overnight sleep study and explain the contribution of each measurement to describing sleep behaviour; identify the stage of sleep and the presence or absence of sleep disordered breathing from a standard polysomnographic recording; and apply understanding of the pathophysiology of sleep disordered breathing to distinguish between an appropriate or inappropriate treatment.
