Sleep: Physiology, Investigations, and Medicine

Rating:
Summary: Review taken from ESRS Newsletter
Review: The impressive, comprehensive volume is.....a very useful book on all aspects of sleep and its disorders: it is up-to-date, suitably large to serve well as a handbook, and the comprehensive bibliographies form a link to the vast available literature in the field. The book is a valuable encyclopedia for readers involved in sleep medicine or interested in sleep disorders. All chapters feature an extensive bibliography, which makes it useful for those wishing to delve into the literature. At the end one finds the most important questionnaires in use for evaluating insomnia, hypersomnia, and disorders of circadian rhythm. The glossary of terms is most useful.
