This book combines two of my favorite things – art and sleep. Together, with gorgeous images, we also learn why artists from Rubens to Picasso to Matisse to Hockney painted people sleeping in their dreams. And along the way, we also dive deep into the mysteries and science of sleep. This is a transporting journey into the creation of images of something we all SLEEP. – Arianna Huffington, author of Sleep Revolution. **** A dazzling visual record of our view of our nocturnal lives through the ages. – Professor Guy Leschnizer, author of The Nocturnal Brain. **** Sleep which takes up so much of our lives has a deep, fascinating, and relatively unexplored history in art. Art history is important as it relates to every part of human history. Sleep has significance for virtually every culture in every era of history. This book is an intersection between art and science. It contains over 300 full-color images by some of the world's greatest artists. Sleep is deeply personal. Like good art, the topic hits people at the core. The reader will enjoy relating it to sleep science and the history of sleep science as well. Sleep can be emblematic of health, rest, sex, spirituality, sloth, dreams, the subconscious, the private, and the public.

We spend a third of our lives in bed, but how much do we really understand about what happens when we go to sleep? What’s the right amount? Why do we experience jet lag? Is snoring normal? Enter Dr. Meir Kryger, a world authority on the science of sleep, with a comprehensive guide to the science of slumber that combines detailed case studies, helpful tables, illustrations, and pragmatic advice. Everyone needs sleep, and many of us will experience some difficulty sleeping over the course of our lifetimes (or know someone who does). Kryger’s comprehensive text is a much-needed bedside resource for insomniacs, those who can’t stay awake, and the simply curious. Uniquely wide ranging, this is part scientific history and part handbook of sleep and the disorders that affect it.

Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine, 3/e has been thoroughly revised with 45 entirely new chapters on the knowledge base of sleep medicine. The first half of the book reviews the basic sciences related to sleep, followed by a thorough review of sleep pathology in adults. This book covers the major topics of sleep narcolepsy, movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, and the broad field of insomnia. The book also reviews methodology used in the sleep laboratory. New nomenclature has been used throughout. Broadly expanded to include new information on psychiatry, circadian rhythms, cardiovascular diseases, and sleep apnea treatment and diagnosis. State of the art chapters are written by the worlds most prominent sleep specialists.

More than 20 million women have trouble sleeping at night. Yet sleep disorders among women are prone to misdiagnosis and therefore mistreatment. A Woman's Guide to Sleep Disorders is the first comprehensive book written about sleep disorders in women by a leading medical expert in the field. Dr. Kryger provides a thorough overview of sleep disorders among women. He shows how to determine whether a sleep problem is a disorder, help pinpoint causes, and what can be done to help. A resource guide, sleep questionnaire, and worksheet are included to assist the reader--and her doctor--in evaluating her condition.

Juggling family, work, and social lives can cause insomnia in women. Add to that the effects of pregnancy or menopause, a partner who snores, or a condition such as arthritis or depression, and you have a potent recipe for sleep disorders that are more likely to affect women - often more severely - than men. Worse, many women's sleep disorders are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed because their symptoms differ from men's, or their doctor is unaware of how unique female biology affects sleep. "Can't Sleep, Can't Stay Awake" will help the reader understand why and provide answers to their sleep problems.Written in a clear, easy-to-read style, and packed with useful case studies, this comprehensive guide What healthy sleep is and how much we should be getting every night; sleep problems unique to women; how family, psychological conditions, and the 24/7 world can cause sleep problems; and, how to combat specific disorders such as sleep apnea and insomnia that may be causing your symptoms.

Kryger e a referencia em medicina do sono.Os disturbios do sono podem ser neurologicos, comportamentais ou respiratorios, ou o resultado de ritmos circadianos interrompidos, dai a sobreposicao de especialidades secundarias. Os disturbios do sono e do despertar ja foram identificados e podem ser agrupados em quatro categorias 1) Dificuldade de adormecer ou permanecer dormindo (insonia, depressao, ansiedade etc.); 2) Problemas para permanecer acordado (sonolencia excessiva durante o dia, hipersonia, narcolepsia, sindrome das pernas inquietas etc.); 3) Problemas para conseguir manter uma rotina regular de sono (problema de ritmo de sono, insonia paradoxal, disturbios de transicao sono vigilia etc.); 4) Comportamentos incomuns durante o sono (comportamentos que perturbam o sono, terrores noturnos, sonambulismo, disturbio comportamental, sindrome das pernas inquietas etc.).De 30 a 40% da populacao brasileira sofre de insonia cronica, mas, alem disso, as pessoas tambem podem ter outros disturbios do sono, apneia obstrutiva do sono, sonolencia diurna e insonia, fibromialgia, diabetes ou obesidade e terror noturno.
