Insomnia

Despite its prevalence, insomnia remains poorly understood because of the lack of clear scientific data supporting the many treatment approaches used. This book is the first to collate the up-to-date scientific data in order to identify the gaps in knowledge and improve clinical management. A highly distinguished team of contributors examines the most recent findings and identifies where research should be heading. They cover the nature and prevalence of insomnia throughout the lifespan; the molecular, neuropharmacological and neuroanatomical systems of relevance to insomnia; and the impact of related problems (such as shift work, industrial accidents, mood disorders, and other sleep disorders).
