About the journal
SLEEP is the official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society. Our primary readers are scientists engaged in the study of sleep and its disorders, and clinicians practicing sleep disorders medicine. The spectrum of sleep disorders is very broad, encompassing primary dysfunction of neural mechanisms of sleep and arousal, pathologies uniquely related to sleep, and disturbances of sleep associated with behavioral or psychiatric syndromes. Sleep specialists come to the field of sleep from a variety of primary disciplines, including pulmonology, neurology, psychiatry psychology, otolaryngology, and dentistry. SLEEP, a peer-reviewed scientific and medical journal, publishes 8 regular issues + 1 issue comprised of the APSS abstracts.
SLEEP publishes original findings in areas pertaining to sleep and circadian rhythms. Topics include sleep-related disorders, medical dysfunctions during sleep, clinical investigations, therapeutic trials, physiologic events, anatomic structures and molecular components underlying normal and abnormal sleep, psychological and psychophysiologic research, and the pharmacology of sleep.
Instructions to Authors
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
All manuscripts must be submitted electronically: http://sleep.manuscriptcentral.com .
CATEGORIES OF MANUSCRIPTS/SCOPE
Original manuscripts, those that have not been published elsewhere except in abstract form, on any aspect of sleep will be considered. Manuscripts must not be concurrently submitted to any other publication, print or electronic.
APSS is not responsible in the event that any manuscript or any part thereof is lost. Published manuscripts become the permanent property of the APSS and may not be published elsewhere without written permission from the APSS.
All accepted manuscripts are subject to manuscript editing for conciseness, clarity, grammar, spelling, and SLEEP style.
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS
Each submitted manuscript must address the following elements:
1. Financial disclosure
Each author MUST disclose the presence OR absence of any significant financial involvement in any organization with a direct commercial interest in the subject discussed in the submitted manuscript. Authors must also disclose the presence OR absence of any off-label or investigational use discussed. This information should be listed on the Financial Disclosure Form. Disclosure will be confidential during the review process but stated within the article when published. No manuscript will be considered for review without complete disclosure.
2. Authorship responsibility
Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work and analysis of data, as well as the writing of the manuscript, for his or her name to be listed as a co-author and should attest to this responsibility. Authors should be limited to not more than ten.
3. Ethics of investigation
Authors should specify within the manuscript whether ethical standards were used in their research. If results of an experimental investigation in human or animal subjects are reported, the manuscript should include the notation that the institutional review board on human or animal research approved the study and that appropriate informed consent was obtained from human subjects. If approval by an institutional review board is not possible, then information must be included indicating that clinical experiments conform to the principals outline by the Declaration of Helsinki.
4. Transfer of author copyright
A signed copy of the copyright assignment form MUST be submitted with your manuscript. Include the title of the article being submitted, as well as the date. Include the signatures of ALL contributing authors.
5. Learning objectives
Authors should keep in mind the overall learning objectives of the journal SLEEP. After reading each issue, readers should be able to:
appraise sleep research in basic science and clinical investigation;
interpret new information and updates on clinical diagnosis/treatment and apply those strategies to their practice; 3) analyze articles for the use of sound scientific and medical procedures; and
recognize the inter-relatedness/dependence of sleep medicine with primary disciplines.
The text of the manuscript should be in the following form:
a. Title page: This page should include the title and subtitle; full first and last names, highest academic degrees, and institutional affiliations for all authors; the institution at which the work was performed; disclosure of the presence OR absence of financial support and off-label or investigational use; corresponding author's full address, phone and fax numbers and e-mail address.
b. Abstract: Each article must be preceded by a structured abstract. For clinical or original investigations, the abstract is limited to 250 words. The components of this format are (start each on a new line): Study Objectives; Design; Setting; Patients or Participants; Interventions; Measurements and Results; Conclusions. (For any of the previously mentioned components of the abstract not supplied, whether the information is unavailable or not supplied, it will be published as N/A (Not Available) for continuity purposes.) For smaller departmental articles, abstracts should not exceed 100 words. Please provide no fewer than three but no more than ten key words that reflect the content of your manuscript. For guidance consult the Medical Subject Headings - Annotated Alphabetic List, published each year by the National Library of Medicine and available in most hospital or institution libraries.
c. Introduction: State the object of research with reference to previous work.
d. Methods: Describe methods in sufficient detail so that the work can be duplicated, or cite previous descriptions if they are readily available.
e. Results: Describe results clearly, concisely, and in logical order. When possible give the range, standard deviation, or mean error, and significance of differences between numerical values.
f. Discussion: Interpret the results and relate them to previous work in the field.
g. Acknowledgments: The minimum compatible with the requirements of courtesy should be provided.
h. Legends: Figure legends, numbered sequentially. Give the meaning of all symbols and abbreviations used in the figure.
i. Tables: Prepare each table with title above and any description below. Tables should be self-explanatory and should not duplicate textual material. They must be numbered and cited in consecutive order in the text, and must have a short title. Tables consisting of more than 10 columns are NOT acceptable. Previously published tables must have a signed permission from the publisher and complete reference data so that appropriate credit can be given.
j. References: SLEEP complies with the reference style given in "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (see Ann Intern Med 1997;126:36-47 or online at http://www.acponline.org). References are to be cited in the text by number and numbered in the order in which they are cited. The reference section should be included at the end of the text, following the sample formats given below. For abbreviations of journal names, refer to "List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus" (available from the Superintendent of Documents, US Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, USA, DHEW Publication No. (NIH) 80-267; ISSN 0093-3821). Provide all authors' names when fewer than seven; when seven or more, list the first three and add et al. Provide article titles and inclusive pages. Accuracy of reference data is the responsibility of the author.

DETAILS OF STYLE
Drug names: Use generic names in referring to drugs; trade names may be given in parentheses after the first mention, but the generic name should be used thereafter.
Abbreviations: Follow the list of abbreviations given in "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (see section on References). For additional abbreviations, consult the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual (available from the Council of Biology Editors, Inc., 9650 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814) or other standard sources.
Please provide on a separate sheet all abbreviations used with their full definition. Each should be expanded at first mention in the text and listed parenthetically after expansion.
FIGURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
1. Figures should be black-and-white line drawings, professionally drawn and lettered. Avoid the use of screens and grayscale elements within a figure.
2. Figures and illustrations should be submitted in their final size, either 3.25 inches wide or 6.5 inches wide (see #4 below), and must be clear and easily readable.
3. Photographs, either black-and-white or color, are permitted, provided they fit the size requirements and are of high quality. A signed model release is required for photographs of patients in which the individual is identifiable.
4. Most figures and illustrations should have a maximum width of 3.25 inches so they can fit into the confines of a single column. Only illustrations of particular importance and relevance, or figures that incorporate several smaller elements, should appear in two-column size, which is 6.5 inches wide.
5. Figures should be of a uniform style within the manuscript; the same typeface should be used for each figure (the font and size is Times New Roman 9 point) you submit, and figures of the same type-such as bar graphs-should appear similar and be proportioned to the same scale.
6. Figures will be evaluated both for scientific relevance and for design integrity, and authors may be asked to modify figures based on either of these concerns.
7. All figures and illustrations will be reproduced in "portrait" format; SLEEP cannot accommodate "landscape" presentation (i.e., no table or figure will be included that requires the reader to turn the journal sideways).
8. Each figure and illustration should be numbered and cited in consecutive numerical order within the text of the manuscript. A legend should be provided for each figure and illustration.
9. Reproduction in color must be approved by the Editor. Authors are required to pay a color fee for each color reproduction. The cost to the author will be $100.00 per figure/photo/illustration, and payment will be required before publication.
REVIEW PROCESS
All submitted manuscripts are peer-reviewed by 2 reviewers selected based on their expertise related to the particular manuscript. A third review may be sought if the Associate Editor feels the need for additional review. After reviews are in, a decision of accept, reject, or major or minor revisions is handed down by the Associate Editor.
Manuscripts are reviewed with due respect for the author's confidentiality. At the same time, reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which are respected by the editor. The editor ensures both the authors and the reviewers that the manuscripts sent for review are privileged communications and are the private property of the author.
When submitting a manuscript for consideration for publication, authors may suggest the names of potential reviewers to invite and/or exclude.
PROOFING
After a manuscript is accepted, it will be chosen for publication in an upcoming issue of SLEEP. Author(s) will be notified as to which issue their manuscript will appear in. Proofs will then be sent to the corresponding author. These proofs will be faxed or emailed approximately 2 months prior to the publication and the author will be expected to return their corrections or approval of these proofs within one week. It is the authors responsibility to notify the journal's administrative office if they will be located at a different address or fax number at that time or if they would like for the proofs to be sent to an alternative author. This notification should be given at the earliest convenience.
REPRINTS
Ten complimentary glossy copies of the manuscript are sent to the corresponding author on the publication date of the issue in which the manuscript appears. To order additional reprints, there will be an Author Reprint Order Form, in which the author may complete this form and send or fax it back to the administrative office. A copy of this reprint order form can also be found on our website at www.journalsleep.org. Reprints may be ordered by corporate purchase order, check or credit card. Payment or purchase order must be received before orders can be placed.
OTHER TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS
Rapid Publication
Papers of sufficient scientific importance and interest to the clinical and research community that warrant a rapid publication process may be submitted under this category. The standard review and processing procedures used by the Journal SLEEP are substantially accelerated such that a paper will move from original submission to final acceptance in about 3 weeks and to print publication in about 8 weeks. This process is now available to any study of major scientific importance. Our plan is to publish such studies in 8-12 weeks from the time of original submission with on-line availability being 3-4 weeks earlier. However, many papers that ultimately meet the standard for publication in SLEEP are not appropriate for rapid publication. Papers that, in the judgment of the Editor-in-Chief or in the judgment of the appropriate Deputy Editor, do not meet this criteria will be returned to the author without review (and may be re-submitted using the standard publication guidelines). Rapid publication is not a mechanism to have all papers reviewed more quickly, rather it is reserved for scientifically, highly meritorious work and this should be respected.
Short Notes or Letters
Short notes may be a maximum of 6 double-spaced, typewritten pages. One figure or one table may be added, and the bibliography may have a maximum of 10 references. Letters should be 1-2 double-spaced pages at most. A maximum of five bibliographical references is allowed.
Reviews
The Editorial Board invites reviews. The Review section may also include summaries of symposia presentations at national or international meetings. Editorial Board members review these invited submissions. Additions and changes may be requested of the author to better communicate the state of the art presented in the review. Books to be considered for review should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief.
Announcements
Announcements of congresses, meetings, awards, and other items likely to be of interest to the readers of SLEEP may be submitted. Please give the name and address where further information can be obtained.
CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION CREDIT
All peer-reviewed scientific papers accepted for publication in SLEEP may be designated for category 1 continuing medical education credit. Upon notification of acceptance, authors will be asked to write a broad, one sentence learning objective to accompany their manuscript.
