Book excerpt: In just eight easy-to-read chapters, the authors present the latest research and practice on sleep disorders. After an introductory overview, the next four chapters discuss the full range of individual sleep disorders. Each disorder is organized by presenting complaints, clinical presentation, incidence, etiology and pathophysiology, laboratory findings, differential diagnosis, and treatment. The final three chapters detail specific medical symptoms and psychiatric disorders behind disordered sleep; pharmacological treatments; and sleep problems in children, the elderly, and women (in pregnancy, premenstrual syndrome, and menopause).
