Sleep Disorders: Their Impact on Public Health

S. R. Pandi-Perumal

Damien Leger

Sleep disorders can have substantial impact on public health through the disruption of education, work, and the quality of life for affected patients. The substantial breakthroughs in sleep research and sleep medicine now being made are influencing public health approaches to these disorders.

The first text to review how the modern approach to sleep medicine can improve public health, this clearly presented work focuses on the emerging challenges and public health consequence of sleep and wake dysfunctions, and is fully up to date with modern sleep research.

Written by leading international authorities, Sleep Disorders provides essential information to sleep specialists, psychiatrists, neurologists, public and population health physicians, and national and international health public policy makers.

Descriere

Although there are many books on clinical sleep disorders medicine and many books on public health, this source will be the first book ever published on this subject. Such an approach has rarely been tried in this particular area of sleep and mental illness. This book will offer special advantages as it will cover interdisciplinary areas of sleep and health which is long over due in the whole medical field. By bringing the public health aspects into the volume, the editors hope to develop the concept with a totally new undercurrent by adding several newer dimensions that have emerged in the last few years.
