Working  Against  the  Clock:  Prac4cal  Strategies  for  Diagnosis  and  Management  of  Shi;  Work  Disorder  (SWD)      March 20, 2014Houston, Texas

Session 3: Working Against the Clock: Practical Strategies for Diagnosis and Management of Shift Work Disorder (SWD) Learning Objectives

1. Describe the pathophysiologic basis of circadian rhythm misalignment and its relationship to sleep/wakefulness and overall health

2. Establish the differential diagnosis of shift work disorder (SWD) based on symptomatology, patient history, and findings obtained from a thorough sleep history and other assessment tools

3. Formulate evidence based initial and ongoing treatment plans for SWD that incorporate nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic modalities

IN YOUR PRACTICE

What is Shift Work Disorder?

Diagnostic CriteriaICSD‐3 CriteriaCriteria A‐D must be met

A. There is a report of insomnia and/or excessive sleepiness, accompanied by a reduction of total sleep time,  which is associated with a recurring work schedule that overlaps the usual time for sleep.

B. The symptoms have been present and associated with the shiftwork schedule for at least three months.

C. Sleep log and actigraphy monitoring (whenever possible and preferably with concurrent light exposure measurement) for at least 14 days (work and free days) demonstrate a disturbed sleep and wake pattern. 

D. The sleep an/or wake disturbance are not better explained by another current sleep disorder, medical or neurological disorder, mental disorder, medication use, or substance use disorder.

IN YOUR PRACTICE

SWD May Be Assessed And Managed In Primary Care Practices

Assessment of SWD

• Determine circadian misalignment.

• Assess sleep disturbance:• Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or having nonrestorative sleep.

• Degree of alertness or sleepiness.• Assess falling asleep during inappropriate times/circumstances.

• Important job‐related factors e.g. commute, type of shift.

• Determine impact on social and domestic responsibilities.

Take a Thorough Sleep History

Taking a Sleep History

• On average, how much sleep per night are you getting?• Do you have uninterrupted sleep?• Have you been told that you snore loudly (louder than 

talking or loud enough to be heard through closed doors) or do anything else unusual in your sleep?

• Do you have problems falling asleep?• What time do you go to bed and when do you get up?• Is your sleep pattern regular? • Do you have problems waking up?• Are you taking any CNS medications?

• Are you having problems with alertness while driving?

ALGORITHM FOR DIAGNOSIS OF SHIFT WORK DISORDER

Adapted from Barger LK et al. Sleep. 2012;35(12):1693-1703.Is the patient a shift worker?

Shift Work Disorder ruled out

Yes

No

Remember the most common occupations for shift work schedules 

include: •Protective services •Food preparation/serving •Transportation•Healthcare/healthcare support

Nonstandard schedules:

Hours outside of standard 

7am to 6pm work day

Shift Work Disorder ruled out

Does the patient complain of insomnia or excessive sleepiness? No

Yes

Is the complaint associated with impairment of social, occupational or other areas of functioning?

ICSD‐3 criteria for diagnosis of Shift Work Disorder requires 

presence of excessive sleepiness and/or insomnia.

Inquire about the impact of symptoms on everyday  

activities. 

No

Is the complaint temporally associated with shift work schedule?

No

Yes

When did the patient first notice problems with insomnia or excessive 

sleepiness?

Have the symptoms and associated shift work schedule lasted at least one month?

No

ICSD‐ 3 criteria for diagnosis of Shift Work Disorder require 

symptoms associated with the schedule for at least three 

months.

Is the sleep disturbance better explained by another current sleep disorder, medical or neurological disorder, mental disorder, medication use or substance use disorder?

Take full sleep and medical history to explore possible 

other causes of sleep disturbance.

No

Yes

Diagnosis: Shift Work Disorder

Consider a differential diagnosis or whether SWD is comorbidwith other disorders.

Consider referral to sleep  specialist if another sleep disorder is suspected.

Circadian Interventions

Align circadian rhythm of alertness with the shift work and sleepiness with sleep schedule

• Avoid bright light after work shift in preparation for sleep opportunity. 2

• Have a dark, quiet bedroom.

• Get bright light exposure during the shift. 1,2

• Split sleep opportunities may avoid starting shift with sleep debt.

Goals for Use of Medications in Shift Work Disorder

• Enhance wakefulness during work shift:• Improve alertness• Facilitate normal levels of attention and energy throughout the wake‐period

• Facilitate good sleep when desired:• Ensure adequate sleep duration• Improve sleep quality

• Minimize side effects that impair functioning or normal sleep patterns.

Management of Shift Work Disorder: Focus on Insomnia

• Hypnotics may improve daytime sleep, but do not improve subsequent nighttime alertness.

• Short‐acting hypnotics of  little help to most night shift workers, as sleep maintenance and not sleep onset problems are more common.

• Potential carryover effects (eg, sedation) during work hours should be considered.

Morgenthaler TI et al. Sleep.2007;30:1145‐1459

Management of Shift Work Disorder:Focus on Excessive Sleepiness

• Prophylactic and strategic use of caffeine.• Wakefulness promoting medication prior to shift.• Medications approved by FDA for treatment of adults with excessive sleepiness associated with SWD:

• Modafinil C‐IV 200mg‐400mg*

• Armodafinil C‐IV 150mg‐250mg

Potential for Circadian Regulation

Melatonin/Agonists• Possess circadian phase‐dependent hypnotic properties.• Attenuate the wake‐promoting drive from the circadian 

system.

• Allow consolidation of sleep occurring out of phase with endogenous melatonin secretion.

• Have little effect when taken at times when endogenous levels are high or rising.

• May reduce sleep latency times.

• Investigational:  No FDA approvals for SWD.
