Fellows will be exposed to the full range of sleep disorders including: sleep-disordered breathing, narcolepsy and other hypersomnias, insomnia, restless legs syndrome/ periodic limb movement disorder, and circadian rhythm disturbances. Fellows will learn to perform and interpret all diagnostic modalities in sleep medicine including polysomnography, multiple sleep latency testing, maintenance of wakefulness testing, and actigraphy.
