Sleep is a critical component for optimal health and function of the body, including in those with neurologic conditions. This presentation will address the: 1. role of sleep in motor learning and memory consolidation in individuals with neurologic conditions, 2. relationship between sleep, health-related outcomes, and recovery in individuals with concussion, and 3. the use of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia delivered via a web-based application to enhance sleep outcomes and fatigue in individuals with multiple sclerosis.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the role of sleep in motor learning and the implications for brain injury rehabilitation.
• Discuss the relationship between sleep, health-related outcomes, and recovery in individuals with concussion.
• Describe use of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia delivered via a web-based application to enhance sleep outcomes and fatigue in individuals with multiple sclerosis.
