Main Ideas

This article represents a brief overview and summary of the main ideas, suggestions, agreements, and conclusions reached during a special round-table discussion held on Oct 10, 2019, at the Armenian National Institute of Health, with the participation of representatives from the Armenian Sleep Disorders Association and the Executive Committee of the Assembly of National Sleep Societies (ANSS) of the European Sleep Research Society. As the pilot activity of the ANSS "Beyond Boundaries" project, it aimed to identify the current needs in the field of sleep medicine in Armenia and to summarize the recommendations to help improving the future multidisciplinary development of this important field in Armenia. The article aims to serve as a guiding point for further collaborations regarding sleep medicine in Armenia. Based on the evaluation of this pilot project, the ANSS will further shape and improve the "Beyond Boundaries" project for further implementation in other European countries that wish to develop knowledge and skills in the field of sleep medicine and research and broaden their international network.

Guiding Principles

Abstract Risks associated with fatigue that accumulates during work shifts have historically been managed through working time arrangements that specify fixed maximum durations of work shifts and minimum durations of time off. By themselves, such arrangements are not sufficient to curb risks to performance, safety, and health caused by misalignment between work schedules and the biological regulation of waking alertness and sleep. Science-based approaches for determining shift duration and mitigating associated risks, while addressing operational needs, require: 1) a recognition of the factors contributing to fatigue and fatigue-related risks; 2) an understanding of evidence-based countermeasures that may reduce fatigue and/or fatigue-related risks; and 3) an informed approach to selecting workplace-specific strategies for managing work hours. We propose a series of guiding principles to assist stakeholders with designing a shift duration decision-making process that effectively balances the need to meet operational demands with the need to manage fatigue-related risks.

Abstract Introduction Recognition awards are reflective of personal achievement and contribute to professional growth and academic promotion. Underrepresentation of women in recognition awards of various medical societies has been described. The Wayne A. Hening Sleep Medicine Investigator Award of the American Academy of Neurology was only given to two women since 2011. This finding prompted us to further investigate the gender distribution of major recognition awards in national US sleep societies. Methods Publicly available lists of recognition awards recipients were retrieved and analyzed from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the Sleep Research Society (SRS) websites. Recognition awards that reflect major contribution to the sleep field were included. The primary outcome measures were the overall proportion of women award recipients across selected recognition awards and the trend over time (1981-2019) analyzed by decade using the Cochran-Armitage test. Results We identified seven major sleep recognition awards (four by the AASM and three by the SRS) with a wide variation in the proportion of awards presented to women (4.8% to 31.3%). There were overall 184 individual awards presented by the two US sleep societies, including 154 (83.7%) awarded for men and 30 (16.3%) awarded for women. The analysis of the awards over time by decade revealed a significant increasing trend (P < 0.0001) in the proportion of awards recognizing women relative to men with a progression from 0.0% in the 1980s, to 3.0% in the 1990s, to 14.3% in the 2000s, and to 27.0% in the 2010s. Conclusion Overall in the last four decades, women have been underrepresented among major recognition awards from the AASM and the SRS, but it is encouraging to see a reduction in the gender gap, particularly over the last ten years. The reasons behind gender inequality in sleep recognition awards are unclear and need further investigation. Support This study was not funded.
