About this book
This concise text takes a symptom-based approach to evaluate and treat sleep disorders. Divided into two sections, this book emphasizes practical information in the patient history and physical, the latest screening techniques and common sleep disorders that either cause sleepiness, insomnia, or restless sleep. Chapters cover the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of major sleep disorders and incorporate new classification systems from the International Classifications of Sleep Disorders, 3rd Edition and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). Sleepy or Sleepless provides a solid foundation to clinicians who want to better evaluate patients with sleep-related complaints.
Reviews
“This clinically oriented book effectively reviews the more common sleep problems clinicians will see in their general practice. … will be of use to medical students, residents, fellows, and healthcare providers who are new to sleep medicine and those who encounter sleep-related problems in their general clinical practices. … This book fills in the many gaps in medical training related to these disorders, providing a solid foundation for clinicians who want to better evaluate patients with sleep related complaints.” (Michael Easton, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2016)
