DARIEN, IL – Leading sleep and circadian scientists, sleep clinicians, and industry innovators will gather June 2-5 in Houston at SLEEP 2024, the 38th annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, LLC. Thousands of sleep professionals will connect, explore, and grow at the world’s premier clinical and scientific sleep meeting, held jointly by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society.
“Every year, SLEEP brings together the world’s most respected experts in the fields of sleep medicine, sleep and circadian science, and sleep health,” said APSS Program Committee Chair Rebecca Spencer, who has a doctorate in neuroscience. “Whether you’re seeking to advance your research, enhance clinical practice, or find community and mentorship, we’ve curated a diverse program to fuel your progress.”
Following one-and-a-half days of pre-conference postgraduate courses, SLEEP 2024 will begin at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 2, at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Participants will have the option to engage in a variety of educational programming, including rapid-fire symposia, engaging lectures, lunch debates, oral and poster presentations, clinical workshops, discussion groups, and more. Topics will include sleep health inequities, artificial intelligence in the clinical setting, sleep health in pregnancy, and health risks shift workers face, as well as developments in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
Gina Poe, who has a doctorate in neuroscience and is director of the UCLA Brain Research Institute, will deliver the keynote address during the plenary session at 8 a.m. CDT on Monday, June 3. She will speak on the essential sleep features for brain remodeling and its importance for cognition and emotional health. The plenary session will also include the presentation of awards by the AASM, SRS, and APSS.
The abstract supplement comprises more than 1,100 research abstracts that will be presented at SLEEP 2024. Poster presentations showcasing cutting-edge research will be on display in the poster hall from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, June 3, and Tuesday, June 4, and from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 5.

Several intriguing abstracts presented at SLEEP 2024 will be highlighted in press releases available on the meeting website, and interviews with the study authors and expert spokespeople may be scheduled by request.
Attendees are also invited to visit the SLEEP 2024 exhibit hall, where a variety of pharmaceutical companies, equipment manufacturers, medical publishers, and software companies will gather to showcase the latest advancements in sleep medicine.
“We’re thrilled to offer a wide array of programming options and educational experiences at SLEEP 2024 to address the unique aspirations and challenges of sleep medicine professionals and sleep and circadian scientists,” said Spencer. “Unparalleled in scale, this gathering stands as the pinnacle event for the sleep field.”
