Women often present with sleep disorders differently than men, leading to under-recognition, misdiagnosis, and delayed treatment. This webinar explores evidence-based strategies and innovative tools to enhance screening and diagnosis for women across the lifespan.
What attendees will learn:
- How sex differences influence the presentation of common sleep disorders such as OSA, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome
- The impact of hormonal changes (pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause) on sleep health and diagnostic accuracy
- Evidence-based screening tools validated in women, and gaps where innovation is needed.

Please try registering from either a different device (such as your smartphone) or try a different browser (such as Chrome versus Safari). The form is indeed on this page, and we have hundreds of registrants so far–so I suspect this is a browser-specific issue.
