5.0 out of 5 stars companion handbook to sleep disorders medicine, October 12, 2000

By	John P. Hey (Greenwood, MS United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the condensed or rather concentrated version of the large and definitive book by Dr. Chokroverty. It covers virtually all of the field of sleep medicine without the tedious proofs and references seen in a large book. This is ideal for review of the field or just to quickly look up a topic. Residents rotating through sleep medicine would find it ideal. Dr. Chokroverty must be an exellent teacher since he writes so clearly and succently. I read it in about eight hours just before taking my sleep boards and found it most valualble.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it!, November 27, 2000

By	"sleepgeek" - See all my reviews

Don't expect to see pictures in this book, just good, well-written information. This book gives the reader exactly what they need, in a cut-to-the-chase format. If the font was a little smaller and the book dimensions reduced a bit, medical students could carry it in their lab coat pocket during their "required" sleep rotation (ok, I can dream). Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, authoritative, and in-depth, March 11, 2004

By	j "jw212" (Cinci, OH) - See all my reviews

This is my new-favorite sleep manual. It is well written, well designed (layout), and very comprehensive yet concise. All 21 chapters deal with specific subject matters in <15 pages each. A summary/conclusion follows the information for each subject. This book does not cover some topics related to the clinical process; ie. scoring(the explanation of example epochs of raw data) or mask-fitting. By doing so, I believe the author sought to avoid the inclusion of material that will require revision in the near future. Nor does this book include a bunch of talk of brain function or metabolism at the sub-cellular level. This book is a definitive sleep manual for techs and PCP's wanting to have a background in sleep physiology, disorders, and health complications related to sleep disorders. Learn this book and you'll gain the confidence that accompanies having a solid foundation of knowlege about sleep and sleep disorders. Another attractive aspect of this manual is its low-price (in comparison to other texts on sleep). If you get a scoring atlas and this book, you'll have a good start to your sleep library.
