WASM and CSS will provide an educational forum aiming to advance current thinking, improve health and encourage prevention and treatment of sleep disorders worldwide. The 4th International WASM Congress and the 5th CSS Congress will bring together leading experts to discuss and disseminate clinical knowledge amongst sleep clinicians and researches in the global advancement of sleep medicine.

Our overall goal is to create a forum for an exchange of experience by those involved in sleep medicine: neurologists, psychiatrists, pulmonologists, internists, general practitioners, pediatricians, otorhinolaryngologists, other specialists with an interest in sleep and sleep disorders, dentists, psychologists and psychotherapists, and, of course, nurses and technicians.

The Congress plans to organize keynote lectures, symposia, courses, workshops, as well as poster presentations covering all areas of sleep medicine at both the basic and advanced levels.

Take this opportunity to hear about the latest developments, problems and strategies in practical sleep medicine in the heart of Québec City, Canada. Come and share your experience with both our older and younger members: sleep physicians and lay people, technicians and doctors, biologists and psychologists. We hope that this Congress gives a fresh impetus to practical sleep medicine and improves the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in addition to facilitating exchange of scientific knowhow among sleep researchers from a wide range of countries. We hope to offer a rewarding opportunity to discuss global social developments that stand in the way of healthy sleep.

Let’s do our best to ensure that restful sleep will no longer remain just a dream.
