The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) is inviting public comment on a draft of a clinical practice guideline on Management of Shift Work Disorder and accompanying systematic review.
The public comment period is open for 4 weeks beginning August 4th, 2025, and ending September 1st, 2025. AASM members, nonmember health care professionals, patients, insurance companies, advocacy groups, professional medical societies, and other interested members of the public are invited to review the draft guideline and submit their feedback during this open comment period.
The recommendations in this guideline are based on a systematic review of the scientific and clinical literature on the topic available during the time of development, taking into account the quality of the evidence, patient values and preferences, and the harms/benefits associated with the recommendation.1
The recommendations in the clinical practice guideline manuscript are in draft form and are still subject to substantive changes by the time they are published in final form. They should not be copied, disseminated, or implemented until final publication.
All comments will be reviewed by the task force charged with developing this guideline. Revisions to the draft guideline and systematic review are at the discretion of the task force, but all submitted comments will be considered and responses will be internally documented before the guideline is submitted to the AASM Board of Directors for approval for publication in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
