The Paediatric Sleep Interest Group (PSIG) is a SIG of the Canadian Sleep Society and was formed to identify and address the clinical, research, educational and public policy needs relating to sleep in children and teenagers. The group consists of research scientists, clinicians, sleep technologists and sleep medicine student/medical trainees who are concerned with sleep in children’s physical health, academic performance, and emotional and mental well-being. Members receive regular updates regarding new findings, debates, or policies related to pediatric sleep medicine. They are also invited to discuss and consult on newly developed research methodology and clinical cases.
The PSIG aims to address several issues within the domains of clinical care, research, education, and public policy.
The Insomnia Interest Group connects clinicians and researchers in the field of insomnia across Canada. Its primary goal is to enhance access in Canada to information about insomnia and to evidence-based treatments.
Seeing the need to boost availability of evidence-based insomnia treatments, and inspired by the Pediatric Sleep Interest Group, the Insomnia Interest Group formed in late 2013. Three themes of activity were identified: access and education, insomnia treatment guidelines for Canada, and advancing research.
