Level 1 includes an overview of normal sleep, how to recognize the cardinal signs of primary sleep disorders, in particular insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy, and when to manage or refer to a sleep specialist. Participants will gain confidence in managing basic sleep issues and identifying features of more complex sleep disorders.
Level 1 provides a firm and required foundation for understanding and managing more ingrained sleep problems like chronic insomnia and sleep apnea compliance taught in Level 2 and Level 3 certifications, respectively.
