, thinking back to residency, this was scary communicating to an attending that I was fatigued. I was so fortunate to have always worked with awesome coresidents and junior who looked out for me.

I make it a point now to ask if my trainees ate or slept!

It’s important to identify a strong mentor and to recognize 1 yr is just a start but by no means sufficient to become a successful scientist.

It definitely increases your options.

Sleep clinicians are in demand across academic/non-academic centers.

For clinician-scientists, sleep training opens numerous opportunities for important research questions & funding mechanisms.

To our trainees, when in doubt about your sleep or fatigue, just come find us in Sleep Clinic! We don't bite!

Up to 1 in 3 Americans has sleep apnea, and up to 10% has insomnia. Sleep disorders are everywhere. Trainees, doctors, attendings not immune!

Agree- NIH Reporter is an incredibly important tool to know about existing funded projects. So is the Assisted Referral Tool (ART)

Incredibly important point —early education in medical school and residency specific to sleep and circadian disorders is essential!

We need to think more broadly. It’s not just about OSA. My sleep fellows learn more about home based NIV than the fellows in PCCM.

A1. Lots! Lower attention span, poor concentration, procedural/needlestick injuries, patient hand off mistakes - So many of these we have all experienced on the job and in training!

So true- after giving talks to a non-sleep medicine audience, there are always questions from audience members about themselves or loved ones- reinforces how pervasive sleep disorders are!
