Learn About Insomnia On CME Webcast. Insomnia doesn’t just affect a person’s overnight sleep. It also impacts a person’s daytime function, such as concentration, mood and overall well-being. The National Institute of Health estimates 30% of adults have periodic insomnia and 10% of adults have chronic insomnia. In healthcare settings, this can be as high as 50%. So to discuss this very common nighttime nuisance and what we can do about, We’ve invited two of Ohio State University’s sleep experts. Dr Lawrence Chan is a board certified Psychiatrist and Sleep medicine physician and Dr Helena Rempala is a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in healthy sleep.
