Welcome to The Sleep NP
Sleep health resources for healthcare providers.
Wanna up your sleep health game?
As a healthcare provider, you already know that sleep is the hottest topic in the clinic. For our patients, it's right up there with:
- Crushing weight loss goals
- Optimizing cognitive function
- Boosting mood
- Heading off heart disease, and
- Avoiding cancer
Sleep plays a foundational role in all of these conditions.
But many healthcare providers only get a brief overview of how to help their patients optimize their sleep health. It's not enough to really help.
Let's change that.
After zeroing in on all things sleep (and breathing) that were moving the needle for her patients, our founder, Carrissa Hankins, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, started talking to other healthcare providers about those things from live and virtual stages.
And she kept getting asked to return.
Prior lecture topics include...
- Making Sense of Sleep Studies
- OSA Basics
- CPAP Management for Primary Care
- Mask Fit Magic
- Twitchy & Sneaky: A Discussion on Restless Legs Syndrome
- Battles in Dreamland: REM Behavior Disorder
- Cough (and why it's like a Lung Sandwich)
What people are saying about Carrissa's lectures...
This lecture: wow, visually appealing.
Case questions: pertinent and helpful during the lecture. She did fabulous, and I would love to learn more from her in the future.

Annual Winter Conference 2024
Loved how she got us involved in the presentation. She captured my attention well in addition to expanding my knowledge base in something I already treat on a regular basis.

Glad you reviewed this topic and addressed how to deal with patients non compliant with the CPAP and also reviewing BiPAP vs CPAP in a way that is easy to understand.
