Riassunto

This book has been thoroughly revised with 45 new chapters on the knowledge base of sleep medicine. The first half of the book reviews the basic sciences related to sleep. The remainder of the book is followed by a review of sleep pathology in adults. This book covers the major topics of sleep apnea: narcolepsy, movement disorders, psychiatric disorders and insomnia. The methodology used in the sleep laboratory is also reviewed. New nomenclature has been used throughout.
