Affiliation: Clínica Somno

Short Bio: Clinica Somno was established in 2013 as a specialized center in sleep medicine, with the firm purpose of offering excellent service in evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of sleep disorders. Following the standards of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, we are committed to providing quality and personalized care to our patients, helping them improve their quality of life.

Activity: Objective: To help people understand the importance of sleeping well and to know that snoring is not normal. We want people to realize that if they have trouble sleeping, it is important to seek help to sleep better and live healthier.

Activities:

* Extended Clinical Meeting: More than 70 doctors attended the first Extended Clinical Meeting (ECM) organized by Clínica Somno. A record that shows interest in the general implications of good sleep. The topic on this occasion was: “Circadian rhythm disorders due to different types of shift work.”

* Collaborative video with an influencer who showed the entire process of being treated for her sleep disorder. From the evaluation with the neurologist who ordered the sleep test, to the polysomnography, and finally the interpretation of the results with a specialist who prescribed her treatment. Through these sleep ambassadors, interaction occurred with people to find out if they knew what a polysomnography was, if they slept well, and if they wanted to know more about the clinic and the steps to follow for treatment.
