Practical Strategies for the Nonpharmacologic Management of Shift Work Disorder

Overview / Abstract:	Shift work disorder (SWD) is a formally recognized sleep disorder that occurs in people who work nontraditional hours (ie, outside of the standard 9 am–5 pm schedule). A number of symptoms are indicative of SWD, but the most common are excessive sleepiness and insomnia. Although several nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic therapies can be used to effectively manage the symptoms of SWD, many people with the condition remain undiagnosed and untreated. This Virtual Practice, which includes a for-credit scientific presentation and three for-credit case studies, has been developed to improve the general understanding of the diagnosis and management of SWD. In addition, the Virtual Practice features several valuable tools that can be used in clinical practice to improve the management of SWD. This module describes the application of nonpharmacologic strategies that serve as the starting point for managing SWD.
