Why Am I So Tired? The Science of Sleep for BCBAs

What You’ll Learn & How It Applies to Your Practice Despite decades of research demonstrating the profound effects of sleep on physical health, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance, our culture still treats sleep as a luxury rather than a necessity. This presentation will translate sleep science into practical, behavior-analytic tools specifically for BCBAs, helping attendees understand their own sleep needs, identify personal barriers, and implement sustainable habits that support well-being and effectiveness at work. Participants will learn the four pillars of healthy sleep, review common sleep disruptors, and leave with evidence-based strategies for improving their own sleep, protecting their long-term health, and modeling wellness for the families they serve.
