W05: Occupational Sleep Medicine
2:45pm – 4:45pm
Chair:
Stefanos Kales, MD
Faculty:
Christopher Drake, PhD; Charles Samuels, MD;
and Hans Van Dongen, PhD
Psychologist Level of Content:
Intermediate
Objectives:
1. Evaluate the clinical presentation of occupational
sleepiness/fatigue, determine its sleep and circadian
related causes and assess the impact on safety and
productivity in the work environment;
2. Implement effective treatment strategies for workers
suffering from occupational sleepiness/fatigue; and
3. Advise occupational medicine colleagues and local
industries/institutions running 24/7 operations about
the health and human performance implications of
shift work and shift work disorder.
D06: Stone Soup: Leveraging Research
Resources and Opportunities
2:45pm – 4:45pm
Chair:
Janet Mullington, PhD
Faculty:
Charles Czeisler, MD, PhD; Allan Pack, MBChB,
PhD; Till Roenneberg, PhD; Michael Twery, PhD; Kenneth
Wright, Jr., PhD; and Phyllis Zee, MD, PhD
Psychologist Level of Content:
Intermediate
Objectives:
1. Discuss the pipeline and the future of sleep and
circadian research;
2. Evaluate ways in which existing resources can be
leveraged to get research support for early stage
investigators;
3. Recognize the importance of a diversified portfolio
and the importance of making the health relevance
of sleep and circadian neurobiology very clear in the
grant proposal; and
4. Review the opportunities and challenges associated
with the new era of Big Data, global research
initiatives.
O20: Insomnia: Treatment
2:45pm – 4:45pm

O21: Sleep Loss, Behavior and Physiology:
Connecting the Dots
2:45pm – 4:45pm
Psychologist Level of Content:

interaction between loss of sleep, neuroendocrine health
and behavior.
S14: Differential Neural Mechanisms of
Adenosine in Sleep-Wake Regulation
2:45pm – 4:45pm
Chair:
Michael Lazarus, PhD
Faculty:
Robert Greene, MD, PhD; Philip Haydon, PhD;
and Tarja Porkka-Heiskanen, MD, PhD
Psychologist Level of Content:
Advanced
Objectives:
1. Discuss molecular, cellular and anatomical
mechanisms of adenosine in sleep-wake regulation;
2. Recognize that adenosine differentially regulates
sleep homeostasis and behavioral states via multiple
pathways and/or receptors; and
3. Review the development and application of cutting-edge
molecular neuroscience tools, including gene ablation
strategies and genetically engineered receptor-channel
systems for in vivo modulation of neuronal activities.
