What is the prevalence of insomnia in a particular age group, in
men and women, or in Caucasians and African Americans? What is the
average total sleep time among normal sleepers among these groups?
How does the sleep of Caucasians and African Americans differ?
These are just some of the questions addressed in "The Epidemiology
of Sleep."
This new book presents the most detailed and comprehensive archive
of normal and abnormal sleep patterns. Based on a landmark study
supported by the National Institute on Aging, 772 subjects from a
host of populations including men, women, and various age and
ethnic groups, prepared detailed sleep diaries for a two-week
period. The use of these sleep diaries yielded a plethora of data
on such characteristics as normal sleep patterns, various forms of
insomnia, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and daytime sleepiness
differentiated by age, sex, and ethnicity. The results generated by
these data, charted in the book's numerous tables and graphs,
provide a critical methodological advance in the sleep literature.
"The Epidemiology of Sleep" opens with an overview of the
rationale and unique characteristics of the study. This is followed
by a comprehensive review of the existing epidemiological
literature on sleep. Chapter three presents a detailed description
of the methods used in the survey followed by meticulous
information on the epidemiology of normal and insomnia sleep, that
is unparalleled in the literature. Chapter six provides an archive
of sleep patterns among African Americans. The book concludes with
a discussion and interpretation of the most interesting findings.
This insightful study, coupled with the comprehensive review of
the existing literature on the epidemiology of sleep, make this
volume an invaluable resource for sleep researchers, clinicians,
health and clinical psychologists, gerontologists, epidemiologists,
and advanced students.
