Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Regina Rosa Lopez, MD(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)
Description: This book provides basic information on sleep and sleep disorders.
Purpose: According to the author, the purpose is to create a source readers could come to for general information as well as specific steps for identifying and solving problems. These are worthy objectives given an increase interest in sleep and a high prevalence of sleep difficulties in the general population. The book was able to meet these objectives as it is written at an appropriate level for the target audience.
Audience: It would be useful for anyone who has an interest in learning more about sleep or who has a sleep problem. The author, a former president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, is the regional director for the Harvard-affiliated Sleep HealthCenters and is an instructor at Harvard Medical School.
Features: The book covers basic information on sleep physiology, factors that can cause sleep problems, sleep disorders, and treatments. It is easy to read and understand. The figures and tables augment and further clarify the text. Case examples are included. Women's health issues related to sleep are also addressed. A chapter is devoted to a six-step plan for better sleep.
Assessment: This is a helpful and easy to read book. I will definitely recommend it to my patients with sleep problems.

From The Critics
Epstein (medicine, Harvard Medical Sch.; regional medical director, Sleep Health Ctrs.) has collaborated with freelance health writer Mardon to produce an accessible and highly readable volume on sleep. The book is divided into two parts: "Understanding the Need for Sleep" and "Sleep Disorders and Their Treatments." Epstein thoroughly explains the physical need for sleep, examines common sleep myths and facts as well as sleep disorders, and provides concrete plans for getting needed rest. The book includes a very detailed description of the medications available for the array of sleep disorders he describes. Case studies are sprinkled throughout, adding an engaging dimension to the text. A detailed list of references, particularly of cited studies, would have been helpful; the list included here features only web sites. At a time when sleep deprivation seems so prevalent in our society, this book is a welcome addition to the literature. It belongs in all consumer health collections, especially in public libraries.

    great resource if you want a good night's sleep!

    This book, by a physician with knowledge of sleep and sleep disorders, explains exactly why you need a good night's sleep and what to do if you aren't getting one. I got my copy from the library, devoured it, took notes on it and decided to buy it for my own library. That's how good it is.
