Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. Confirm the work concerns sleep medicine, sleep science or circadian research.
  2. Decide which deadline suits your work, as fast-track, oral and poster deadlines differ.
  3. State a clear objective, methods, results and conclusion within the official format.
  4. Confirm categories and submission rules on the official World Sleep 2027 abstracts page.
  5. Submit a complete, co-author-approved abstract before the deadline you have chosen.

Why This Conference Matters

Sleep problems are common and linked to cardiovascular, metabolic and mental health, yet many sleep disorders remain under-recognised in routine care. Research on diagnosis, treatment and circadian biology is expanding, supported by new monitoring technologies. World Sleep brings together clinicians and scientists from many disciplines, and its staged deadlines allow researchers to plan submissions around the maturity of their data while reaching an international audience interested in sleep health.

What the Organisers Are Looking For

World Sleep 2027 is looking for abstracts across sleep medicine and research, from basic neuroscience and circadian biology to clinical trials and service studies. Strong submissions typically present original data with a clear question and transparent methods. Because the congress uses fast-track, oral and final poster deadlines, authors should check which route suits their work. Categories and rules should be confirmed on the official World Sleep 2027 abstracts page.
