Upcoming NIH Research Conference on Sleep and Women’s Health
Women may experience the symptoms of certain sleep conditions, such as insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea, differently than men. They may also face unique long-term health consequences from these conditions.
The 2026 NIH Research Conference on Sleep and the Health of Women (SHOW 2026) will be held on NIH’s campus from October 14 to 16. Researchers, clinicians, and public health experts will discuss recent sleep and circadian research advances and highlight critical gaps in research and care. Registration for the conference is open through September 21, 2026.
