Sleep Disorders: From Childhood Nightmares to Aging
Learn about the spectrum of sleep disorders, from childhood nightmares to issues affecting aging adults.
About this course
Distressing dreams and nightmares are common in childhood, decline in the middle years, and increase again in old age. Their presence can diminish the quality of sleep and increase daytime anxiety. Clinical treatment should be considered when they become frequent or recurrent to avoid deleterious effects on health. Moreover, it is vitally important that patients with recurrent distressing dreams and nightmares receive a neuropsychiatric work-up as recurrent nightmares may be associated with posttraumatic stress disorder and, in the elderly, they may herald the onset of a neurodegenerative disorder. This course reviews the biologic mechanisms of distressing dreams and nightmares, their clinical correlates and their potential for harm. Evidence-based treatment strategies to manage recurrent nightmares are reviewed including cognitive-behavioral approaches and an emerging pharmacologic option.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
