University of Pittsburgh Sleep and Circadian Science Research Day
The 6th Annual Sleep and Circadian Science Research Day is a full-day inter-disciplinary event hosted by the University of Pittsburgh Center for Sleep and Circadian Science. The purpose of this conference is to bring together individuals from diverse disciplines from the University of Pittsburgh’s Schools and area partners to disseminate innovative sleep-circadian research, promote the translation of basic science into clinical practice, and advance the science and practice of sleep medicine. This year’s research symposia emphasize research on sleep, physical health, and mental health. The David J. Kupfer Lecture keynote lecture centers on sleep and oxidative stress.
Target Audience
Clinicians, researchers, and students in fields relevant to sleep-circadian research or the practice of sleep medicine, including (but not limited to) psychiatry, psychology, sleep medicine, neurology, nursing, and pulmonary & critical care medicine.
Learning Objectives
Sleep, Circadian Rhythms, and Mother-Infant Health
Marquis Hawkins, PhD
Sleep moderates the associations between physical activity and gestational weight gain
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn how sleep and physical activity can jointly impact maternal health in pregnancy
Lauren DePoy, PhD
Gestational Circadian Rhythm Disruption Induces Sex-specific Substance Use-related Phenotypes in Mice
Learning Objectives
1. Identify how circadian rhythms are disrupted and measured, non-invasively, in animal models.
2. What behavioral paradigms can be used to model substance use and mood-related behavior in animal models?
Rachel Kolko, PhD
Addressing sleep and circadian rhythms during the perinatal period to promote maternal and infant health
Learning objectives:
1. Describe changes in maternal sleep and circadian rhythms that occur during the perinatal period and their role in maternal-infant obesity risk
2. Discuss behavioral intervention approaches that target sleep and circadian rhythms among pregnant and postpartum individuals, including adaptations to address the unique challenges of the perinatal period
'Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Operational Settings'
Alice LaGoy, M.S.
Can't afford to lose sleep: the operational relevance of sleep loss related decrements in sensorimotor function
Learning objectives:
1. Discuss the prevalence of sleep loss in operational settings
2. Describe the importance of sensorimotor function to operational performance
3. Discuss the impact of sleep loss on different aspects of sensorimotor function
Michelle Stepan, Ph.D.
Cognitive Deficits caused by Sleep loss are Mitigated by Firefighter-relevant Physical Exertion
Learning objectives:
By the end of this talk, you should be able to:
· Describe how sleep loss and acute physical exertion independently affect cognitive processes
· Identify the role of physical exertion in mitigating cognitive deficits caused by sleep loss, including potential mechanisms
P. Daniel Patterson, Ph.D., N.R.P.
Sleep, fatigue, and safety among paramedics and other first responders
Learning objectives:
1: To gain awareness of the magnitude of poor sleep quality and fatigue among emergency responders
2: To gain awareness of the first ever evidence based guideline for fatigue risk management - which happens to be tailored to emergency responders
3: Shift work - long shifts - are not going away - To gain awareness of intra-shift strategies that may help mitigate fatigue and the impact that shift work has on health
David J. Kupfer Keynote Lecture
The Impact of Circadian Misalignment on Health
Kenneth Wright, PhD
This talk will highlight mechanisms by which circadian misalignment dysregulates human physiology with implications for human health.
