Neurological and psychiatric disorders are manifestations of pathology in the brain, an organ that also regulates the sleep-wake cycle in addition to many other physiological functions. Since the substrate is common, sleep disturbances and sleep disorders are frequently present among patients having neurological and psychiatric disorders. For the same reason, many psychiatric disorders manifest as somatic symptoms as well as sleep disturbances. A number of papers are available in the literature documenting these associations. Similarly, many books have been written that cover the whole spectrum of sleep disorders and specific sleep disorders in depth. However, sleep-related symptoms with neuropsychiatric conditions typically have received limited coverage in sleep medicine textbooks. Accordingly, this volume, Sleep in Neuropsychiatric Disorders, is a humble attempt by the editors to fill this void. Readers may find some overlap among chapters which was allowed by the editors as many readers prefer to purchase selected chapters instead of an entire book. However, diligent efforts have been made to keep this overlap contextual only. It does not substitute the concepts presented in detail in the chapter which is dedicated to the topic. Recently, in addition to pulmonologists, a number of neurologists and psychiatrists have become interested in both physiological and clinical aspects of sleep. However, sleep medicine is still a small part of neurology and psychiatry education leaving the trainees in these specialties with a limited appreciation of sleep disorders. This often culminates in incomplete care to patients as sleep disorders are common in these populations. This book will help the psychiatrists and neurologists to update their knowledge and guide patient care. This book is divided into five parts. Part I contains basic information and discusses the physiology of sleep, biological rhythms, neurobiology of dreams, and methods and measures that help the clinician to assess patient’s condition. Ample space has been provided to history taking, questionnaires used to diagnose or assess the severity of sleep disorders, and laboratory-based detection of sleep disorders. In addition, one chapter is dedicated to factors that enhance the occurrence of sleep disorders in patients with neurological and psychiatric illness. This part also includes a chapter addressing the impact of sleep disorders on the economical milieu of patients and their quality of life.
