CCB Workshop on Circadian Rhythms & Shiftwork
Wednesday, February 25, 2015, 1:00pm - 4:30pm
UCSD Sanford Consortium<http://maps.ucsd.edu/mapping/viewer/default.htm?mkey=1&lc=open&km=open&rc=closed&zoom=4&X=0.35&Y=0.17&layers=None&background=2&label=0&overlays=Bldg-893%251&selectedTab=1>, Lobby Conference Room

Confirmed Speakers

Phyllis Zee<http://www.cscb.northwestern.edu/partzee.html> - Basics of circadian rhythms in health and disease
Director of the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine, Benjamin and Virginia Boshes Professor of Neurology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine

Michael Gorman<http://psy2.ucsd.edu/%7Emgorman/> - Adapting to shiftwork schedules - what we've learned from human and animal studies
Professor of Psychology, UC San Diego

Sonia Ancoli-Israel<http://psychiatry.ucsd.edu/About/faculty/Pages/sonia-ancoli-israel.aspx> - Sleep disorders and shiftwork - consequences of poor sleep and treatment strategies
Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Medicine, UC San Diego

Workshop Objectives

  *   Understand how brains and bodies are governed by daily clocks that resist the scheduling demands of shiftwork in our 24/7 society
  *   Learn what animal studies indicate about health consequences of circadian disruption and how flexibility of clocks can be enhanced

*         Discover how inadequate sleep significantly impairs cognitive and work performance

*         Examine most common problems experienced by shift-workers and learn practical techniques for minimizing disruption of circadian clocks

*         Implement strategies for combating insomnia and other sleep disorders and getting the most restorative value of sleep

Developed in partnership between UC San Diego's Center for Circadian Biology and the Center for Continuing Education in Biosciences, this half-day workshop is designed to provide a-state-of-the-field but accessible examination of the significant challenges faced by people who must schedule their work/sleep routines into times not favored by their internal circadian clocks. From world-renowned experts, you will learn basic principles of clock function, the personal and performance costs of disrupted timing, and practical strategies for optimally adapting to shiftwork.

This workshop is primarily designed for professionals whose duties involve working at night, managers who schedule or supervise shift-workers, and medical and other service providers to these workers. Members of the public interested in sleep, jet-lag and other phenomena of daily timing will benefit also.
