SPECIALTIES: SLEEP DISORDER

A sleep disorder specialist is concerned with the diagnosis/treatment of patients with disorders of sleep and daytime alertness and the effect of the sleep process upon other medical disorders. The field of sleep medicine developed because specialized knowledge of the sleeping brain and the pathological deviations of normal sleep physiology provided the physician the expertise to recognize and treat sleep-related illness.
Not recognizing these disorders results in medical, economic, and social consequences such as the increased cardiovascular mortality related to sleep apnea syndrome, transportation and industrial accidents secondary to decreased alertness, or performance deficits in school due to narcolepsy or other disorders of excessive sleepiness.
