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.
