| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book provides easy-to-read summaries of normal sleep and sleep disorders, presented in a format that those who are not sleep specialists may refer to readily. The book guides the reader through the basic science of sleep and how to evaluate individuals suffering from sleep irregularities, complex features of sleep disorders are then discussed, including in part, parasomnias, sleep apnea, night terrors, and restless legs syndrome. The book also looks at how these sleep abnormalities can affect individuals with other medical disorders such as epilepsy, depression, and anxiety disorders, chapters give a comprehensive introduction to each sleep topic, whilst further reading lists guide the reader to more detailed study. Illustrated with summary tables, figures, and treatment algorithms, this book is a useful guide for neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, pulmonologists, and internists, as well as health care professionals in training."--BOOK JACKET.
