    This document outlines the learning objectives and core competencies covered in the Continuum issue on Lifelong Learning in Neurology Sleep Neurology. The learning objectives are for participants to be able to describe neurobiology underlying sleep-wake states and circadian rhythms, recognize key findings in patient histories and exams for sleep complaints, and discuss and manage various sleep disorders like hypersomnolence, obstructive sleep apnea, REM sleep behavior disorder, parasomnias, restless legs syndrome, and circadian rhythm disorders. The core competencies covered are patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning, interpersonal communication, professionalism, and systems-based practice.
