Professor Department of Human Development and Family Studies Auburn University Topic: "Sleep and Development in Youth: Sociocultural Considerations.” Across childhood and adolescence, sleep is influenced by a multitude of factors that are rooted in biological and social contexts. Sleep, in turn, is a driver of development, from mental health to cognitive functioning. Drawing on findings from a decade-long investigation, Dr. Mona El-Sheikh will present a developmental perspective for examining sleep in youth; discuss relations between family processes and sleep; and illustrate the role of sleep in the exacerbation and mitigation of health disparities.

Melissa Nevarez-Brewster Graduate Student at the University of Denver Topic: Sleep in Pregnancy: A Unique and Understudied Prenatal Process with Intergenerational Consequences Special Topics: Trainee Brown Bag **non-CME event** Poor sleep is a public health concern that affects 8 out of every 10 pregnant individuals. In this presentation, I will emphasize why studying prenatal maternal sleep is important and expand on the state of the current literature by showing findings from a systematic review on the associations between poor sleep during pregnancy and offspring outcomes (e.g., sleep and physical health, socioemotional and cognitive scores, and brain structure and function). Using data from a prospective and longitudinal cohort, I will present work from two studies on the associations between poor prenatal maternal sleep on the offspring brain and subsequent infant socioemotional health. Next, I will briefly touch on precursors of poor sleep during pregnancy and explore findings on early childhood experiences as robust contributors of poor prenatal sleep. Finally, I will discuss future directions that my research program will follow and will provide key future directions for the field of prenatal maternal sleep. **non-CME event** Wednesday, May 15, 2024 No events Thursday, May 16, 2024 No events Friday, May 17, 2024 No events Saturday, May 18, 2024 No events |
