DARIEN, IL – SLEEP 2025, the 39th annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, will bring together the world’s leading sleep medicine professionals, sleep and circadian scientists, and sleep health experts from June 8-11 in Seattle. During the conference, over 5,000 attendees will convene to discuss emerging research, trends, and challenges in the field to advance the impact of sleep research on the practice of sleep medicine. The event is held jointly by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and the Sleep Research Society.
“New research findings continue to highlight the importance of sleep for health, well-being, and safety,” said APSS Program Committee Chair Dr. Romy Hoque, associate professor of neurology at Emory University School of Medicine. “In Seattle, the field’s leading researchers and clinicians will come together to accelerate the understanding of sleep and circadian science and share the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.”
The SLEEP 2025 general session will kick off at 1 p.m. PDT on Sunday, June 8, at the Seattle Convention Center Arch building at 705 Pike Street. During the meeting, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of educational and engaging program sessions covering intriguing medical and scientific topics including circadian medicine, new therapeutics for sleep disorders, artificial intelligence, women’s sleep health, and population health.
The plenary session will begin with the presentation of awards by the AASM, SRS, and APSS on Monday, June 9, at 8 a.m. PDT. Then the keynote address will be presented by Jerome Siegel, professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at UCLA School of Medicine, chief of neurobiology research at the Sepulveda VA Medical Center, and past president of the SRS. He will speak about, “The functions of sleep and the functions of hypocretin (orexin) neurons in sleep, waking, and opioid addiction.”
Reflecting the meeting’s strong emphasis on advancing science, SLEEP 2025 will showcase more than 1,400 research abstracts. Poster presentations of cutting-edge research from international experts will be on display in the poster hall from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. PDT on Monday, June 9, and Tuesday, June 10, and 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 11.
