Discussion highlights sleep-wake disorders as risk factors for neurological and psychiatric conditions, indicating significant socioeconomic implications.
Sleep is essential for physical, brain (including mental) and societal health. Sleep-wake disorders are confirmed as independent risk factors and/or modulators of several neurological (such as stroke, dementia, and parkinsonism), psychiatric (depression) and other (arterial hypertension, diabetes, oncological) disorders. According to the Cost Of Illness in Neurology in Europe (COIN-EU) Study, 1.7 trillion euros cost is estimated for neurological disorders, of which 25.45% is dedicated for sleep disorders. In this talk both the socioeconomic burden of sleep disorders, and possible sleep-based interventions for improving brain and physical health, will be discussed. Disclosure of Interest None Declared
