Sleep Disorders: Insomnia, Narcolepsy, Sleep Apnea and Others

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. It is recommended that, on average, humans sleep for approximately eight hours each night. While busy schedules, long to-do lists and late night events may often make it difficult for us to obtain the desired amount of sleep, for some people, obtaining enough sleep or obtaining restful sleep is medical challenge. This book examines common sleep disorders, their causes, their impact on a patient's life and common treatment options. The science of sleep medicine is also briefly discussed along with the commonly used polysomnography diagnostic tool.
