Description
In a world of 24 hour media saturation, sleep has become an increasingly fraught
enterprise. The 4-volume Encyclopedia of Sleep is the largest reference, either
online or in print, on the subject of sleep. Written to be useful for the novice
and the established researcher and clinician, Topic areas will include sleep
across the life cycle and in other species, sleep and women, sleep and the elderly,
pediatric sleep, sleep deprivation and loss, sleep mechanisms, sleep physiology
and pathophysiology, sleep disorders, neurobiology, chronobiology, pharmacology,
and impact of other disorders on sleep.
Recognizing the many fields that are connected to sleep science, the editorial
team has been carefully chosen to do justice to this highly interdisciplinary
field of study. The steady growth of researchers and clinicians in the sleep
field attests to the continued interest in the scientific study of sleep and
the management of patients with sleep disorders, and anyone involved in this
exciting field should find this work to be an invaluable reference.
Key Features
- Thoroughly interdisciplinary, this 4-volume work looks at sleep throughout the life cycle, with exceptional coverage of basic sleep concepts, the physiology of sleep as well as sleep disorders of all descriptions
- Excellent coverage of sleep and special populations, covering the lifespan, as well as gender and ethnic differences, among others
- Chapters focusing on sleep disorders are grouped under the broad categories classified in the ICSD-2 for clear organization so that the reader can effectively access the steps involved in diagnosing and treating these disorders
- Online version is linked both within the encyclopedia (to related content) and to external sources (such as primary journal content) so that users have easy access to more detailed information if needed
Readership
