Members include both academic and clinical specialists, particularly neurologists, pulmonologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, pediatricians, geriatricians as well as neurophysiologists, circadian rhythm experts, nurses and a large number of technologists in sleep laboratories.
The Society currently has over 400 members under leadership provided by a 10-member executive board,[9] and a subcommittee coordinates scientific meetings and training courses.
Over the next few years it broadened to include neurological and physiological interests with strong emphasis on technical aspects and polysomnography.
As part of this the Society is a registered professional body within the Council,[11] with the aim to improve the safety of patient care.
[12] The Society runs an annual spring technologist conference, aimed at providing training in all aspects of sleep medicine.
