Beginning on Monday, June 8, more than 1,300 research abstracts will be presented during the scientific program at SLEEP 2009, showcasing the latest findings in sleep research from around the world.
The majority of the abstracts will be on display as poster presentations from 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday, June 8, to Wednesday, June 10. Each poster will be displayed for one day only. Abstract authors will be available at their posters to discuss their findings with meeting attendees.
Select abstracts will be presented as brief oral presentations during scheduled sessions from Monday, June 8, to Thursday, June 11. Sessions involve a common theme and consist of either four abstract presentations during a one-hour session, or eight presentations during a two-hour session. Each oral presentation is 10 minutes long and is followed by five minutes of questions from the audience.
Eight “late-breaking abstracts” were selected for presentation during a special session from 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on Thursday, June 11. These oral presentations involve high-quality, emerging data found between December 2008 and March 2009.
The abstracts being presented at SLEEP 2009 were recently published in a special supplement of the journal SLEEP. You can download the abstract supplement as a 11 MB file in PDF format.
SLEEP 2009 will begin with the plenary session from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Pacific Time on Monday. Look for live updates to be posted to the SLEEP 2009 blog until the meeting ends at 12:15 p.m. on Thursday, June 11.

Welcome to the SLEEP 2009 Blog
Welcome to the official blog of SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, a joint venture of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society.
More than 6,500 sleep specialists, sleep scientists, sleep technologists, allied health professionals and students are expected to attend SLEEP 2009 at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in downtown Seattle, Wash. The scientific program will begin with the plenary session at 8 a.m. Pacific Time on Monday, June 8.
During the plenary session Dr. Howard Roffwarg will give the keynote address on “Participation of REM Sleep in the Development of the Brain: Starting Hypothesis, Unfolding Data, Current Perspective.” Roffwarg is professor of psychiatry and human behavior, and director of the departmental division of sleep medicine, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Miss.
More than 1,300 research abstracts will be presented at SLEEP 2009. The scientific program also includes symposia, clinical workshops and discussion groups on topics ranging from neuroscience and genetics to dreams, sleep deprivation and aging. Clinical sleep specialists will discuss current practices in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders such as insomnia, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea.
The meeting also features an exhibit hall with booth displays from about 120 pharmaceutical companies, equipment manufacturers, medical publishers, software companies, professional organizations and schools.
