Book Description
The latest information for understanding and treating sleeping disorders in adults and children is made accessible in this authoritative guide. Discussed are specific problems such as falling asleep while driving, snoring and disturbed breathing, body jerks and restless limbs, insomnia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and sleepwalking. Issues that are specific to childhood and adolescence are introduced, including the importance of a baby's first 12 months of learning to sleep, parents' need to set and implement bedtimes with reassuring firmness, bed wetting, and teenage fatigue. Concepts and conditions such as sleep debt, biological clock, circadian rhythm, sleep apnea, and narcolepsy are clearly explained, as well as information detailing the nature of dreams, myths about dreams, and why some people never remember dreaming while others recall lucid details.
