Chronic sleep disorders affect one in five Americans, and sleep deprivation costs significant U.S. GDP loss annually. Despite the indisputable biological importance of sleep, much remains unknown about underlying mechanisms.


The National Academies Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders convened a public workshop in November 2022. Experts and leaders from academia, industry, government, philanthropic foundations, and disease-focused non-profit organizations gathered to review current sleep science, examine the relationships between central nervous system disorders and sleep, identify potential cross-disciplinary collaborations, and discuss opportunities to better understand and mitigate sleep disturbances commonly associated with CNS disorders. This proceedings document summarizes workshop discussions.
