Sleep Disorders Sourcebook (Health Reference Series)

The problems are mostly treatable, but sleep disorders affect some 40 million Americans and are linked to lost productivity, car accidents, and other health problems. Gathering information from government and relevant agency sources, this consumer reference addresses the biology of sleep, changing sleep needs throughout life, how to improve sleep quality and quantity, the diagnosis and treatment of specific sleep disorders in adults and children, and conditions that affect sleep. The volume includes a glossary, directory of resources, and suggested further reading. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
