This book brings together an unprecedented number and range of contributions from different disciplines relating to sleep in one comprehensive volume. The contributors explore the science of sleep - what it is, what makes it happen and why we do it - as well as the measurement of sleep, its importance for daytime performance and its sociological and cultural aspects. Sleep disorders, sleep quality and the importance of sleep for daytime performance are also explored, as are the ways in which sleep can be affected by medication and medical and psychiatric conditions. This groundbreaking and insightful book will be of great interest to students, academics and professionals in a wide range of disciplines, and anyone else who wishes to discover more about this fascinating topic.

Recensioner i media

The chapters allow the reader to dip into any section in which they have a keen interest or about which they just wish to discover more... Chapter 7 will be of particular interest for occupational therapists and occupational scientists as it makes a strong case for sleep, time-use and occupation to have greater consideration in both practice and research... I would recommend this text to all who are interested in sleep; it makes a very useful contribution. The editors aimed for their txt to enhance communication about sleep between the two cultures of science and humanities: to this end, they have succeeded, in addition to having created a space for increased dialogue.
