• IN SLEEP MEDICINE AND TECHNOLOGY.
• The field of sleep medicine has undergone many radical changes during the past decade. Not long ago, few medical professionals were even aware of sleep disorders. Today, almost every medical center has some type of sleep program, even if only to screen for sleep apnea. In fact, it is the ever-growing awareness of sleep apnea that has been responsible for the sudden interest in sleep medicine and subsequent growth of the field.
• Often in their rush to diagnose and treat sleep apnea, newcomers to the field underestimate the complexity of sleep physiology. Polysomnography, the cornerstone of sleep medicine, is often downplayed as unnecessary and burdensome. Increasingly, sleep laboratories are relying on automated technology, rather than focusing on comprehensive staff training. ... Consequently, while the number of patients diagnosed and treated for sleep disorders continues to increase, the accuracy of the diagnosis (or appropriateness of treatment) is sometimes less than optimal.
• While it may be argued that classic obstructive sleep apnea can readily be identified without performing elaborate polysomnographic studies, there are many reasons why attended polysomnography, conducted by trained sleep professionals, continues to be the gold standard for accurate sleep diagnoses and post-treatment evaluations.
• The first and foremost reason is that, sleep-related breathing disorders (and sleep disorders in general) are not limited to sleep apnea. In fact, sleep apnea represents only the more severe end of the sleep disordered breathing continuum. Newcomers to the field are often surprised to discover that classic obstructive sleep apnea is not nearly as common as many of the less-evident forms of sleep disordered breathing. ...
• Secondly, one must recognize that most respiratory transducers used in sleep apnea studies offer a very primitive assessment of breathing. ... Moreover, even those devices that are capable of providing calibrated measurements are not always reliable, nor independently sufficient for differentiating subtle breathing abnormalities from normal variants of NREM and REM sleep physiology.
• Thirdly, all sleep recordings are susceptible to artifacts. ... A common example of this problem is seen in patients with periodic limb movements in sleep. ...

• Sleep disorders are a group of syndromes characterized by disturbances in the amount, quality, or timing of sleep, or in behaviors or physiological conditions associated with sleep.
• Although sleep is a basic behavior in all animals, its functions in maintaining health are not completely understood. In the past 30 years, however, researchers have learned about the cyclical patterns of different types of sleep and their relationships to breathing, heart rate, brain waves, and other physical functions.
• There are five stages of human sleep. Four stages are characterized by non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, with unique brain wave patterns and physical changes. Dreaming occurs in the fifth stage during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
• Stage 1 NREM sleep. This stage occurs while a person is falling asleep and represents about 5% of a normal adult's sleep time. ...
• Stage 2 NREM sleep. This stage marks the beginning of "true" sleep. About 50% of sleep time is stage 2 REM sleep. ...
• Stages 3 and 4 NREM sleep. Also called delta or slow wave sleep, these are the deepest levels of human sleep and represent 10-20% of sleep time. ...
• REM sleep. REM sleep accounts for 20-25% of total sleep time. ... REM sleep alternates with NREM sleep about every hour and a half throughout the night. ...

• Insomnia can be caused by a number of medical or behavioral factors such as stress, tension, shift-work or poor sleep habits.
• Sleep Apnea:.
• Brief pauses of breathing during sleep. ... Sleep apnea can result in daytime sleepiness, depression, and cardiovascular problems.
• Sleep attacks; sudden muscular weakness in response to strong emotion; brief paralysis upon falling asleep or waking up.
• Uncomfortable sensations in the legs near sleep time, sometimes described as a creepy crawly feeling. Legs and arms may move or jerk involuntarily during sleep.
• Sleepwalking, Night Terrors, Sleep Related Violence, Sleep Eating: .
• The care of children with sleep disorders demands special expertise. Insomnia, sleepwalking, nightmares, nocturnal bedwetting, and other sleep-related symptoms are not only a problem for the young patient but for the entire family. At the Sleep Medicine Institute, the expertise of the staff is augmented by the skills of pediatric specialists. ... For infants, children, and adolescents, the Sleep Medicine Institute provides effective diagnostic, treatment, and counseling services to aid in the management of sleep problems. For a brochure on our Children's Sleep Problems service please e-mail us or call 404. ...
• The Northside Hospital Sleep Medicine Institute is located near Northside Hospital at 5780 Peachtree-Dunwoody Road, Suite 150, Atlanta, GA 30342. ... Sleep laboratory rooms were designed to be quiet and comfortable. ... Home studies for evaluation of snoring and sleep apnea are also available.

• SLEEP MEDICINE.
• Sleep medicine encompasses sleep breathing disorders, disorders of daytime somnolence, insomnias, parasomnias, disorders of chronobiology, and neurological and psychiatric disorders affecting sleep. Sleep medicine is a cohesive blend of: clinical knowledge of sleep disorders; knowledge of the basic sciences of normal and disordered sleep processes; experience with specialised diagnostic techniques, tests and procedures employed in clinical assessment; and expertise in the management of all clinical sleep disorders.
• There are 2 levels of training in sleep medicine that lead to qualification to practise sleep medicine:.
• 12 months core training in sleep medicine for advanced trainees, to enable them to have a proportion of clinical practice in sleep medicine and to report sleep studies (this may include 3 months training achieved during the course of a general respiratory core year);.
• 3 years training (2 core years plus an approved complementary year) for advanced trainees to enable them to have clinical practice predominantly or solely in sleep medicine, and to direct a clinical sleep laboratory.
• Advanced Training Program in Sleep Medicine - LEVEL 1.
• Completion of level 1 advanced training in sleep medicine qualifies advanced trainees to have a substantial clinical practice in sleep medicine (e. ... manage sleep apnoea syndromes and more complex sleep-related breathing problems), and is also required to apply for credentialling for reporting sleep studies (as required by the Health Insurance Commission in Australia).
• Twelve months of training in clinical sleep medicine is necessary.
• For respiratory medicine trainees this may be undertaken as an approved complementary year within the 3 years of advanced training in respiratory medicine, although 3 months of the 12 months may be undertaken during the 2 years of core training in clinical respiratory medicine (as the mandatory 3 months of training in sleep medicine).

• What is a Neurologist? What is a Sleep Medicine specialist? .
• Many neurologists also have additional training in one area of neurology such as stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, or sleep disorders. ...
• What is the role of the Neurologist? What is the role of the Sleep Medicine specialist? .
• When a patient has a neurological disorder that requires frequent care, a neurologist is often the principal care provider; the same is true for sleep disorders. Patients with disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease or multiple sclerosis may use a neurologist as their principal care physician, while patients with sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or insomnia may see a sleep specialist most often. ...
• Sleep medicine specialists may also refer for evaluation by Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeons and/or Oral surgeons for surgical treatment of breathing problems during sleep. ...
• What does a Neurologist treat? What does a Sleep Medicine specialist treat? .
• Common neurological disorders include: Stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Headache, Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Sleep disorders, Multiple sclerosis, Pain, Tremor, Brain tumors, Peripheral nerve disorders, Amyothrophic Lateral Sclerosis, as well as other disorders. Sleep medicine physicians treat all forms of illnesses contributing to disrupted sleep at night or excessive daytime sleepiness, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, disruptive limb movements of sleep, restless legs syndrome, and insomnia. ...
• How are neurological disorders treated? How are sleep disorders treated? .
• Many neurologic and nearly all sleep disorders can be treated. ... To find treatment options, neurologists will perform and interpret tests of the brain or nervous system, and sleep specialists may need to study a patient's sleep in a sleep laboratory. Treatment can help patients with neurological or sleep disorders maintain the best possible quality of life. ...

• For example, sedative herbs such as hops and valerian are used to relax the nervous system to that you enjoy natural, restorative sleep. ...
• Plants commonly prescribed as aids in promoting sleep include: passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), hops (Humulus lupulus), valerian (Valeriana officinalis), skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla).
• Passion flower is calming and sleep inducing, relieves pain, and muscular spasms. ...
• Valerian is relaxing and sleep inducing, relieves spasms, calms the digestion, and lowers blood pressure. ...
• Valerian can bring on a restful sleep without morning sleepiness or other side effects or dangers of addiction. ...
• Valerian has been widely used in folk medicine as a sedative and antihypertensive. Clinical studies have substantiated valerian's ability to improve sleep quality and relieve insomnia. In one study, valerian showed a significant effect compared to the placebo, with forty-four percent reporting perfect sleep and eighty-nine percent reporting improved sleep. ... In the insomniac group, the valerian/melissa preparation showed an effect comparable to that of the benzodiazepines, as well as an ability to increase deep-sleep stages 3 and 4. ...

• Sleep 2000.
• Sleep Disorders.
• Sleep Medicine on the Eve of the Third Millennium.
• I recently attended a very special International Congress, Sleep Medicine on the Eve of the Third Millennium, which took place in Bologna, Italy, September 7-9, 2000. Scientists and clinicians who pioneered the development of sleep medicine and those to whom the torch will be passed, met to review the accomplishments of our field and to envisage the future for sleep researchers, sleep professionals and millions of sleep disorders victims. ... The Congress was organized by Professor Elio Lugaresi, one of the most important pioneers of sleep medicine, and I had the honor of serving as the co-president representing the United States.
• During my long career, I have been a frequent apologist for the difficulties of diagnosing and treating sleep disorders and the relative paucity of cutting edge research. ... For example, Watson and Crick had discovered the double helix structure of DNA before anyone discovered rapid eye movements during sleep. Transplanting hearts was a clinical routine at Stanford University Medical Center well before we started the world's first sleep disorders clinic. ... Basic and clinical sleep research is no longer catching up, we are or soon will be in the lead.
• The first part of the meeting was devoted to a review of the early discoveries of rapid eye movements during sleep, the duality of sleep (REM vs non-REM), narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea. ...
• Although there has been skepticism in the scientific community that obstructive sleep apnea is involved in cardiovascular disease (CVD), these researchers reported elegant epidemiological data from very large numbers that established the association of OSA and CVD beyond the shadow of a doubt. ...
• There were a number of reports of cutting edge research on the genetics of sleep, sleep deprivation and the function of sleep. For various species, it is now possible to screen several hundred genes at a time during both sleep and wake. One of the newest models for sleep research is drosophila melanogster, the common fruit fly. ... If the rest period is prevented, then there will be a rebound just as in sleep deprivation. It is possible to make rapid studies in this fruit fly and in Bologna there were several reports of approximately 1000 genes which were screened for those whose expression is increased during wakefulness and those whose expression is increased during sleep. ... At the current time, all of those genes whose expression is increased during sleep are unknown. ... In the lifetime of most of us, we will know why we sleep.
