For readers of Arianna Huffington’s The Sleep Revolution—an individualized approach to sleep issues from the expert doctors who wrote The Insomnia Answer. Good sleep is an elusive goal: The harder you try to fall asleep, the less likely you are to be successful. Insomnia is stoked by different habits, schedules, stresses, beliefs, and even personality types—but there is no single pill or therapy to reverse it. Sleep cannot be forced—ultimately, it must come to you. While insomnia treatments can set the stage, the best thing a person can do to ready themselves for sleep is to get sleepy. This practical, easy-to-follow guide written by two founding experts in behavioral sleep medicine will help you achieve one of the most important parts of staying healthy: a good night’s rest. Taking into account the particular challenges that stand in your way to better sleep, Glovinsky and Spielman: Discuss changes you can make to your daily routines to induce sleepiness Walk you through applying standard cognitive behavioral treatments Introduce new, promising interventions for managing anxiety, depression, an out-of-sync biological clock, dependence on medication, and more True sleepiness is the only reliable portal to sleep. You Are Getting Sleepy will guide you there. Praise for The Insomnia Answer “The book to pull under the covers whether you’re fighting temporary insomnia . . . or a long-term sleep disorder.” —Health magazine “For insomniacs who don’t want a cosmetic solution, this guide digs deeper, and is likely to get better, more permanent results.” —Kirkus Reviews
Sleepiness

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 2011-01-27
Written and edited by leading clinicians and researchers in sleep medicine, this is the first book to focus on the causes, consequences and treatment of disorders of excessive sleepiness. Extensive coverage is provided for all known causes of sleepiness, including sleep deprivation, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, narcolepsy and other hypersomnias of central origin, shift work, and medical and psychiatric disorders. Since many causes of sleepiness are difficult to differentiate from each other, and treatment modalities can vary greatly from one disorder to another, this book helps the clinician to formulate a differential diagnosis that will ultimately lead to the correct diagnosis. Epidemiology, evaluation of the sleepy patient, diagnostic investigations including neuroimaging, subjective and objective testing, cognitive effects of sleepiness, motor vehicle driving issues, medico-legal aspects of sleepiness, and therapy are also discussed in detail. This is an essential resource for neurologists, psychiatrists and sleep specialists.
Adolescent Sleep Patterns

Release Date: 2002-07-11
There is a growing concern in relation to the problem of insufficient sleep, particularly in the United States. In the early 1990s a Congressionally mandated commission noted that insufficient sleep is a major contributor to catastrophic events, such as Chernobyl and the Exxon Valdez, as well as personal tragedies, such as automobile accidents. Adolescents appear to be among the most sleep-deprived populations in our society, though they are rarely included in sleep assessments. This book explores the genesis and development of sleep patterns in adolescents. It examines biological and cultural factors that influence sleep patterns, presents risks associated with lack of sleep, and reveals the effects of environmental factors such as work and school schedules on sleep. Adolescent Sleep Patterns will appeal to psychologists and sociologists of adolescence who have not yet considered the important role of sleep in the lives of our youth.
