A new addition to the Neurology in Practice series, "Sleep Medicine
in Neurology" is a practical guide for neurologists diagnosing and
managing sleep disorders in their patients. As a part of the
series, various feature boxes are highlighted throughout. "Tips and
Tricks" give suggestions on how to improve outcomes through
practical technique or patient questioning. In addition, "Caution"
warning boxes supply helpful advice on how to avoid problems and
'Science Revisited' boxes offer quick reminders of the basic
science principles necessary for understanding the presented
concepts.
Sleep and ADHD begins with an overview of sleep (normal sleep,
sleep cues, developmental phases, etc.) and continues with the
epidemiology of ADHD and sleep problems, including medical issues
(e.g. sleep apnea), parasomnias, behavioral insomnias (i.e. limit
setting, sleep onset association disorders, circadian rhythm
disorders and anxiety-related insomnia). It then covers the
etiology of sleep problems, including the role of sleep hygiene and
habits, the developing child, and the role of stimulants and
medications used in the management of ADHD sleep problems. As the
first book of its kind, users will find this reference an
invaluable addition to the literature on ADHD.
This book offers a compilation of papers on the role of
melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) in sleep, sleep disorders and
neuroendocrine functions. Leading experts in sleep medicine,
psychiatry and neuroendocrinology provide a broad perspective on
the field, from the anatomical structure and physiology of the MCH
system to the connection with other systems influencing sleep and
diseases like anxiety and depression. The potential of MCHR-1
antagonists as anxiolytic/antidepressant drugs is also reviewed.
The book will represent an interdisciplinary guide for sleep
disorder specialists, sleep researchers, psychiatrists,
neurologists, psychologists, and behavioral sleep medicine
specialists.
This book presents the design, development and field trials of
radio frequency based wireless monitoring system for sleep apnoea
patients. It contains 4 major areas including general background of
wireless monitoring technology and MIMO in wireless body area
network (WBAN), microwave hardware designs, virtual MIMO in WBAN
and hardware system level implementation and field trials. At
components level, this book presents the design theory, process and
examples of bandpass filters, lowpass filters, low profile patch
antennas, power amplifiers and oscillators which are the key
elements in transducer designs in the body area network and
cooperative communication wireless sensor network system. At system
level, this book features the hardware integration, field trial and
network coding techniques. This book also gives a presentation of
virtual MIMO applications, e.g. MIMO implementation using FPGA,
correlation coefficient measurement. The book will create impact in
the fields of wireless monitoring technology in biomedical
engineering, which have been growing exponentially.
This unique volume advances the literature on sleep and health by
illuminating the impacts of family dynamics on individuals' quality
and quantity of sleep. Its lifespan perspective extends across
childhood, adolescence, adulthood and older age considering both
phenomena of individual development and family system dynamics,
particularly parent-child and marital relationships. It extends, as
well, to the broader contexts of social disparities in sleep as a
significant health behavior. Emerging concepts and practical
innovations include ancestral roots of sleep in family contexts,
sleep studies as a lens for understanding family health, and
methodologies, particularly the use of actigraphy technology, for
studying sleep patterns in individuals and families. This rich area
of inquiry holds significant keys to understanding a vital human
behavior and its critical role in physical, psychological, and
relational health and wellbeing. Among the topics covered: * Sleep
and development: familial and sociocultural considerations. *
Relationship quality: implications for sleep quality and sleep
disorders. * Couple dynamics and sleep quality in an international
perspective. * Family influences on sleep: comparative and
historical-evolutionary perspectives. * Sociodemographic,
psychosocial, and contextual factors in children's sleep. * Dynamic
interplay between sleep and family life: review and directions for
future research. Family Contexts of Sleep and Health Across the
Life Course will advance the work of researchers and students in
the fields of population health, family demography and sociology,
sleep research and medicine, human development, neuroscience,
biobehavioral health, and social welfare, as well as that of
policymakers and health and human services practitioners.

'A practical description of the leading treatment for insomnia and
the causes of insomnia' Allison G. Harvey, PhD, University of
California, Berkeley, USA Poor sleep is one of the most common
health problems and can leave you feeling exhausted, stressed and
