About the ABC of Sleep Medicine
Patients presenting with sleep-related symptoms are common in primary
care, but assessing and managing these conditions can be difficult. ABC
of Sleep Medicine is a practical illustrated guide to sleep disorders
which will give health professionals confidence in this complex area of
diagnosis and management.
It explains the differences between normal and abnormal sleep, and looks
in depth at individual disorders such as sleep apnoea, insomnia,
narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome and the parasomnias, as well as sleep
disorders as a comorbidity of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disease.
Common sleep disorders in children are addressed in detail before
concluding with an overview of pharmacological treatments and how
commonly used drugs might affect sleep.
This brand new addition to the ABC series will be a valuable resource
for general practitioners, practice and specialist nurses,
psychiatrists, and medical trainees in both primary care and neurology.
