The 9th ESF Sleep Medicine School, taking place from March 31 to April 3, 2025, at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia, Cyprus, presents a comprehensive educational experience dedicated to advancing knowledge in sleep medicine. This year’s focus is SLEEP & HEALTH and the program offers a comprehensive learning experience, integrating introductory lectures on neurobiology and physiology, focused topic lectures, and real-world case reports in sleep medicine. Participants will also explore, via daily dedicated “Sleep & Health lectures”, the intersection of sleep with health and technology, gaining awareness of how technological advancements are shaping sleep medicine.

A key component of the event is its interactive courses and practical workshops, which offer hands-on training in essential aspects of sleep medicine, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical application. The program addresses critical educational and scientific needs, sharing advancements to attract new talent to this dynamic discipline while keeping experienced sleep clinicians and researchers updated on the latest developments. By fostering a collaborative network, it promotes innovation and growth, ensuring the continuous evolution and excellence of the sleep medicine community. The School will be held in person in the beautiful setting of Nicosia, Cyprus, with an option for virtual participation. On-site attendees will benefit from engaging, interactive workshops that encourage hands-on learning and meaningful networking. Beyond the sessions, they can immerse themselves in Cyprus at its finest—blooming landscapes, perfect spring weather, and rich cultural treasures.

The hybrid format of the event further enhances its accessibility, enabling participants who are unable to travel to benefit from the program remotely. Sleep medicine and sleep research require greater attention within the scientific community, as this multidisciplinary field bridges critical aspects of health, disease, quality of life, and lifestyle. The 9th ESF Sleep Medicine School is part of the INTERNATIONAL MASTER OF ADVANCED STUDIES (MAS) IN SLEEP MEDICINE – A postgraduate master of sleep-wake-circadian physiology, consciousness and related disorders.
