Sleep medicine research nurses support clinical trials and observational studies in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), insomnia, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and circadian rhythm disorders. The documentary burden includes clinical trial protocols, ICH GCP E6(R3), NICE obstructive sleep apnoea guidance (NG202), NICE insomnia guidance (NG215), British Sleep Society clinical standards, the AASM International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD), polysomnography and actigraphy scoring manuals, and journals including Sleep, the Journal of Sleep Research, Chest, and SLEEP Advances. Converting these PDFs to EPUB makes them searchable, annotatable, and readable on any mobile device during participant screening, data collection, and CPD.
