Tick tock. What “time are you” on the clock? Approximately one in five workers in the United States works nonstandard shifts such as permanent night shift work, rotating shifts, occasional on-call overnight duty, and even schedules that demand an early awakening from nocturnal sleep. Many of these Americans will experience shift work disorder (SWD). The core clinical symptoms of SWD—excessive sleepiness or insomnia or both—arise because sleep is attempted at a time that does not align with the internal circadian propensity for sleep in patients who are intolerant to such misalignment. The good news is that effective clinical strategies exist for managing SWD. The unfortunate news is that many of those strategies are underutilized and result in underrecognition and undertreatment, which yields suboptimal patient outcomes.
This neuroscienceCME Snack features a sleep specialist discussing how clinicians can improve identification and treatment of patients with SWD using recommendations in the American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines.
To educate clinicians on how to diagnose and manage shift work disorder in accordance with recommendations from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Employ evidence-based strategies to detect and diagnose shift work disorder (e.g., consistently query patients about their sleep habits).
- Devise multimodal treatment plans for patients with insomnia that are in accordance with American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) guidelines, while evaluating efficacy and safety data for existing and emerging pharmacological agents.
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Teva Pharmaceuticals.
Physicians, pharmacists, and other health care professionals with an interest in shift work disorder.
