- 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.

- www.apa.org
- 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. ...
