America is a 24/7 lifestyle. This makes sleep--especially
disruptions in sleep--a pressing concern for many Americans.
According to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), approximately 40
million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders, and an
estimated 20-30 million others experience sleep-related problems.
Chronic sleep disorders may also lead to psychiatric disorders such
as depression and schizophrenia. Moreover, neurological disorders
such as seizures, strokes, Parkinson's, etc, and medical disorders
such as asthma or arrhythmia, also affect the quality of sleep
Americans receive.

Acute and Emergent Events in Sleep Disorders creates
awareness for the management of disorders that occur during sleep.
Chokroverty and Sahota bring greater awareness to the treatment of
sleep disorders, as well as treatments of neurological, medical,
and psychiatric disorders. The book has six different sections
covers a wide range of topics dealing with how to treat and manage
these events. For example, when to prescribe CPAP (Continuous
Positive Airway Pressure) machines for sleep apnea patients' whose
risks are doubled for stroke or death, as compared to those without
the disorder. Another segment discusses treatment of Restless Legs
Syndrome (RLS), a movement disorder which is amplified when trying
to rest. Managing depression, which affects patients' sleep cycles,
is analyzed as well as its relation to sleep-deprivation and
insomnia. Considerations for sleep disorders in children, such as
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) are also presented. This book
serves an effective tool for neurologists, clinical
neuroscientists, residents, and fellows.
