• Fellows may choose a one-month ambulatory sleep elective with the following goals: Taking a complete sleep history, differentiating sleepiness from fatigue, acquiring the basic skills required to diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea, gaining an appreciation of the breadth of sleep medicine and sleep disorders, and identifying indications for a more thorough sleep evaluation. Fellows will see patients and read sleep studies with a board certified sleep physician. Additionally, they will spend time in an ENT clinic learning to do a thorough upper airway exam and observing surgical procedures used to treat apnea, snoring, and nasal obstruction, with a dentist who provides oral appliances for the treatment of OSA, and with a neurologist/sleep specialist to review a complete neurologic exam as it pertains to sleep disorders. They will also learn the procedures involved in sleep testing and spend 2 overnights in the lab observing sleep studies and CPAP/BIPAP titrations.
• The fellows may also choose a longitudinal Sleep Medicine elective. ... The focus of this track is to train a well-rounded sleep specialist with the ability to sit for the certifying exam offered by the American Board of Sleep Medicine. The trainee will have a longitudinal outpatient clinic and read polysomnograms and multiple sleep latency tests with a board certified sleep specialist. They will also rotate through other outpatient sleep practices including neurology, pulmonary, ENT, dentistry, psychology, and psychiatry. They are required to participate in the weekly sleep conference in the form of case presentations, topic presentations and discussion. The trainee is taught to set up patients, acquire data and to score polysomnograms and multiple sleep latency tests. They also have the option to participate in the outreach programs/support groups and are encouraged to consider a sleep related research project leading to publication.

• The latest news in sleep medicine What is Sleep Medicine?.
• Literally, sleep medicine deals with the clinical problems of disturbed sleep. Since the first truly clinical sleep disorders centers and laboratories were developed in the late ‘60’s’ and early 70’s, over three hundred sleep disorder diagnoses have been identified and codified. This incredible explosion of information and direct application to the diagnosis and treatment of patients has lead to the establishment of this specialty of medicine. At the same time a parallel development in technology has allowed us to more easily and accurately study the processes of sleep and apply it to the problems that patients present.

• Sleep psychologists in demand .
• The success of cognitive behavioral therapy has made behavioral sleep medicine a fast-growing field. ...
• A week doesn't go by for Ed Stepanski, PhD, without a call from a physician who's looking for a qualified sleep psychologist. As the director of the Sleep Disorders Service and Research Center at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, Stepanski is one of about 1,700 board-certified sleep medicine specialists trained to treat insomnia, narcolepsy, circadian rhythm disorders and other sleep problems. ...
• "Sleep disorders are very prevalent," explains Daniel Buysse, MD, former president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and associate psychiatry professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. ...
• Sleep medicine is a unique specialty, combining the work of many health professionals, from pulmonologists with expertise in sleep apnea to neurologists, psychiatrists and psychologists. ... Over the last 20 years, the field has grown so fast that the demand for trained sleep psychologists far exceeds the supply.
• Indeed, Stepanski is only one out of about 150 board-certified sleep medicine specialists with a PhD in a behavioral field--a background that prepares them to provide behavioral therapies tailored to sleeping disorders, help patients comply with sleep apnea treatment plans, evaluate patients' sleep studies and treat the depression and anxiety that often co-occur with sleep disorders.
• Behavioral sleep medicine is such a booming field that the AASM has created a special committee to develop curricula for behavioral sleep medicine training programs and a specialized board exam for sleep psychologists--a move psychologists say should be acknowledged and applauded.
• "How often is it that a medical society embraces what psychology has to offer?" asks Michael Perlis, PhD, director of the University of Rochester Sleep Research Laboratory.
• The committee, founded under Buysse's presidency, is also lobbying for more consistent reimbursement for sleep psychologists' services. Right now, most sleep apnea treatments are regularly reimbursed by insurers, but other kinds of treatment, including cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) and evaluating patients' sleep studies, are less frequently covered.
• The demand for sleep psychologists will only grow, says Buysse, as evidence attesting to the success of behavioral interventions such as CBT piles up. ...
• Sleep-treatment pioneer Charles Morin, PhD, and colleagues found in a 1999 study (see "Further Reading" box) that while a combined behavioral-pharmacological approach produced the best short-term results, those who received cognitive behavior therapy sustained better long-term clinical gains, and the participants rated the behavioral therapy as more effective and satisfying. ...
• The evidence is clear, say sleep specialists: CBT is just as effective as pharmacological treatments in the short term and even more effective in the long term for sleep disorders such as insomnia. ...
