 Sleep medicine and surgery is a relatively new specialization for medical students, junior doctors, sleep doctors and other healthcare professionals. This book is meant to create an awareness of sleep and sleep disorders; which has been increasing in popularity over the past few decades. As we all know, without a good sleep, not only our daily living will be affected but it is also associated with numerous health problems affecting variety of systems in our body. Unfortunately, due to the lack of awareness among societies, people still do not view sleep as an important pillar of an overall healthy lifestyle. Most people do not take care of their sleep health as they do not see it as a priority. This book is meant to fill the void of knowledge in this branch of specialty and create an understanding of sleep disorders and their treatment. The aim of this book is to provide an overview on sleep anatomy and physiology and their disorders from experts in Otorhinolaryngology, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Neurology, Family medicine, Primary care physician, Dentistry, Surgery, Psychiatry and Psychology. The aspect of sleep medicine requires a holistic approach by every field specialty involved.
