The Sleep Medicine Summer School is one of the modules of the Academy of Sleep and Consciousness (ASC) educational program (founded from a joint effort of the University of Bern and the Università della Svizzera italiana) with a strong focus on clinic and basic research and with the objective to provide a high-quality postgraduate course in sleep and consciousness.

This year the Sleep Medicine Summer School will offer an intense scientific program on the topics of chronobiology and circadian disorders, hypersomnia and in particular hypersomnolence in neurological disorders, insomnia and mental health, sleep and psychiatry, sleep and neurologic disorders with a specific focus on epilepsy, movement disorders, parasomnias and disorders of arousals, and sleep related breathing disorders with a specific focus on personalized medicine.

In those tough pandemic times, keynote lectures will bring to the audience the last evidence on the broad impact of the pandemic on sleep and circadian rythms.

Each module will include regular lessons, keynote lectures, case discussions and practical exercitation. Highlights of the Summer School are the keynotes on Cancer Chronotherapeutic, Diagnosis of Primary CNS Hypersomnolence Disorders: A reappraisal, Sleep, insomnia and depression, REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Phenotypes and pathophysiology of central breathing disturbances given by five scientists with an internationally respected reputation in their field of expertise:
