Sleep & the Mind: Exploring Critical Links Between Rest and Mental Health

Sleep disturbances are both a symptom and a driver of mental health disorders and understanding this bidirectional relationship is essential for clinical care. Join Kim Hapke, ND for an evidence-informed webinar designed for healthcare practitioners, where we explore recent research on the neurobiological connections between sleep architecture and mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. We also review clinical applications of natural interventions, including targeted nutrients, botanicals, and lifestyle protocols, to help support patients in achieving restorative sleep and improved psychological resilience.

Objectives:

1. Describe the two-way relationship between sleep and mental health. 
   
2. Explain how sleep architecture affects mood and cognition.
3. Summarize key research linking sleep quality to psychological outcomes.
4. Identify integrative interventions that support sleep and mental well-being. 

The webinar recording lasts 1 hour and 2 minutes, including a Q & A session.
