Each of the chapters that follow provides an overview of symptoms, tests, and various behavioral and pharmacologic treatments for a wide range of sleep conditions, including insomnias, breathing disorders, parasomnias, and several common medical disorders that are often associated with sleep complaints. The latter chapters discuss sleep disorders in distinct patient demographics-specifically children, women (during pregnancy, the postpartum period, and menopause) and the increasing population of older adults. The book concludes with a chapter devoted to pharmacologic interventions, detailing the use of and clinical issues associated with 25 different types of drugs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdditional benefits of the manual include: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e- A \"Pearls and Pitfalls\" section of bulleted facts at the beginning of each chapter\u003cbr\u003e- Figures, tables, and helpful takeaways (such as a differential diagnosis decision tree and patient questionnaires) in many chapters\u003cbr\u003e- An appendix of 65 frequently used abbreviations related to sleep complaints and disorders\u003cbr\u003e- Patient handouts that include sleep tips and information on insomnia, abdominal breathing, delayed sleep phase syndrome, melatonin and light treatments, sleep walking, and jet lag \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNo other clinical text provides such a breadth of information on sleep disorders in such a compact, easy-to-carry volume.
