We all know how important sleep is, but many of us struggle to
consistently get enough high-quality rest. This book answers
readers' sleep-related questions and offers guidance for a better
night's slumber. Part of Bloomsbury’s Q&A Health Guides
series, this book aims to educate teens and young adults about the
importance of sleep through an engaging question-and-answer format.
The book’s 44 questions cover the basics of sleep and dreaming,
the connection between sleep and health, sleep problems and
disorders, and how to improve sleep: - Why exactly is sleep so
important? - How does not getting enough impact physical wellbeing,
academic performance, and interactions with others? - How do you
know if you have a sleep disorder? - Can caffeine and power naps
really make up for poor sleep habits? The text strikes a balance
between theory and practice, offering both clear explanations of
foundational concepts in sleep science and useful suggestions that
readers can implement in their own lives. Augmenting the main text,
a collection of 5 case studies illustrate key concepts and issues
through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. The
"Common Misconceptions" section at the beginning of the volume
dispels 5 long-standing myths about sleep, directing readers to
additional information in the text. The glossary defines terms that
may be unfamiliar to readers, while a directory of resources
curates a list of the most useful sleep-related books, websites,
and other materials. Finally, whether they’re looking for more
information about sleep or any other health-related topic, readers
can turn to the "Guide to Health Literacy" section for practical
tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible
sources of health information both on and off the Internet.
This book provides readers with the information they need to know
about sleep disorders: the process and purpose of sleep, the
importance of good sleep hygiene, and the impact of modern life on
our quality of sleep. Good sleep is essential for optimal health,
yet a number of sleep disorders can interfere with consistent,
restful sleep. From insomnia to sleep apnea and from narcolepsy to
restless legs syndrome, these conditions can have an enormous
impact on both the quantity and quality of an individual's sleep.
What You Need to Know about Sleep Disorders is part of Greenwood's
Inside Diseases and Disorders series. This series profiles a
variety of physical and psychological conditions, distilling and
consolidating vast collections of scientific knowledge into
concise, readable volumes. A list of "Top 10" essential questions
begins each book, providing quick-access answers to readers' most
pressing concerns. The text follows a standardized, easily
navigable structure, with each chapter exploring a particular facet
of the topic. In addition to covering such basics as causes, signs
and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, books in this
series delve into issues that are less commonly addressed but still
critically important, such as effects on loved ones and caregivers.
Case illustrations highlight key themes discussed in the book and
are accompanied by insightful analyses and recommendations. A
holistic approach to the subject covers often-overlooked areas,
such as societal perceptions and the impact on family and friends
An Essential Questions section provides quick-access answers to the
questions that readers are most likely to have Case Illustrations
provide relatable, real-world examples of concepts discussed in the
text An annotated Directory of Resources points readers toward
useful books, organizations, and websites, acting as a gateway to
