Sleep and Aging

Join Dr. Brienne Miner (Geriatric Medicine, Yale School of Medicine) who will address:
What is normal sleep?
When should you talk to your doctor?
What can you do to improve your sleep?
This will be followed by an opportunity for Q&A. Dr. Miner is an internist who completed subspecialty training in geriatric medicine, sleep medicine, as well as a postdoctoral research fellowship in clinical epidemiology and aging-related research. She is interested in symptom management in older adults, and whether a model that takes into account a broad array of impairments is more predictive of symptoms than the traditional disease model, where symptoms are thought to arise from specific diseases. Her current research examines insomnia symptoms, describing how these symptoms change over time as well as important factors that increase risk for insomnia in older adults.
In advance of the session, you will receive an anonymous, optional Qualtrics survey to complete before the session. For questions, please email worklife@yale.edu.
