Sleep Issues and Interventions: The Effect on HRV, GI Dysfunction and Pain Syndromes
In this course, Dr. Susan Clinton addresses one of the most foundational—but often overlooked—elements of healing: sleep.
Healthcare professionals often cite “lack of time” as a barrier to addressing sleep concerns. But what if sleep is the very foundation upon which every other intervention depends?
This course reframes sleep not as a luxury but as a clinical imperative—essential for pain management, hormone regulation, emotional resilience, and cognitive function. Participants will learn how to assess, educate, and support patients in cultivating meaningful, sustainable sleep hygiene practices. You’ll also gain tools to monitor trends using wearables and autonomic profiling, and practical strategies that meet patients where they are.
With humor, insight, and a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial lens, Dr. Clinton invites you to see sleep not only as a vital sign but as a vital story—one that can be rewritten for better health, quality of life, and clinical outcomes.
