What You Missed from #SLEEP2018

Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members.


SLEEP 2018 just wrapped up in Baltimore, and conference-goers tweeted up a storm. Here’s a round-up of top tweets so you can catch up on what you missed (or reminisce about the great presentations and commentary).

Attendees shared findings on trending topics, such as the accuracy of Fitbits and other wearable devices.



They shared research on medications and supplements to aid both sleeping…



…and waking.



They discussed the clinical association of sleep quality with other conditions, ranging from heart conditions to depression…





…to nutrition and weight.







Pediatric sleep disorders were a huge topic…











…as were more philosophical issues around sleep research and society.







Between sharing the important research and hard-hitting questions, conference tweeters made time for a bit of levity.





Dr. Johnson sums it up nicely.
