From January 15–17, 2026, the interdisciplinary conference will take place with international experts, practical lectures, and workshops on orofacial health. Highlight: On Wednesday evening, January 14, 2026, Roger Price (The Way We Breathe Is Killing Us) will give a public lecture. He will explain why our breathing is crucial for health and well-being, which breathing patterns can be problematic, and how we can breathe more consciously with simple impulses.

The study shows that sleep-related breathing disorders are closely linked to insomnia, emotional dysregulation, and increased stress.

An integrative treatment approach that considers sleep, breathing, and psychological processes together is crucial to reduce long-term health consequences.
