Highlights include:

- Wide-ranging coverage of the diagnosis, treatment, and management of these conditions

- Insight into the effects of sleep disorders on both the healthy and diseased brain

- The neurobiology of sleep and the development of sleep disorders

- Sleep disorders associated with neurodegenerative diseases, restless legs syndrome, and circadian sleep disorders
