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.
Meir Kryger, M.D., is a professor of medicine, a board member of the National Sleep Foundation, and past president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. He is also the chief editor of the most widely used comprehensive medical textbook on sleep disorders, The Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine. He has been researching and treating women with sleep disorders for twenty-five years.
