Disorders in Neurology, a helpful overview of both common and
rare neurological disorders that are frequently accompanied by
significant sleep disturbances. This concise guide explains when to
consult a sleep specialist in managing a particular sleep disorder
and draws on the expertise of neurologists who specialize in the
disorders under discussion. This practical guide is fully
illustrated and easily digested, providing a counterpoint to large
encyclopedic reference volumes. The authors take you from history
taking and diagnostic testing, to pharmacological and
non-pharmacological treatment options, and are joined by disease
sub-specialists in the chapters on disease specific sleep
disturbances and the effects of common neurological medications on
sleep.
This book is essential for sleep medicine specialists, as well
as for clinicians and health care professionals not specifically
trained in sleep medicine, but who nevertheless need to manage
neurologically damaged patients with increasingly recognized
sleep-wake disturbances.

"There is no doubt that having read this book, I will be
approaching my patient's difficulties with a new found interest in
their sleep-wake cycle. Defining disorders of sleep and how they
may manifest and considering strategies for management, will
improve quality of life in neurological patients. For this reason I
would not hesitate to recommend this book to colleagues as a
reference text. "(British Sleep Society Newsletter,
January 2011)
"This book provides information on symptoms of sleep disorders
along with their causes, as well as management suggestions to help
clinicians to promptly recognise and treat patients to improve
their quality of life. Overall, I strongly recommend this book for
both neurologists specialising in sleep medicine and general
neurologists." (The Lancet Neurology, 2010)
