to the sleep clinic, this volume serves as a practical text perfect for the busy primary-care practitioner seeking to improve her knowledge of sleep-wake disorders. Whenever possible, tracings from diagnostic tests, photography, and video clips are provided to enhance clinical presentations and to aid
