This Olympic year, we bring you a unique event seeking to explore ways to optimise sleep in athletes.
Experts from both sleep medicine and sport and exercise medicine will cover key topics, including jet lag management and stimulant use in athletes, how to optimise an athlete's sleep, and how we can use exercise to treat sleep disorders. Participants will also learn what it is like to be an athlete with a sleep disorder.
