Sleep

Sleep is the state of natural rest observed in humans and is characterized by a reduction in voluntary body movement, temporary blindness, decreased reaction to external stimuli, loss of consciousness, an increased rate of anabolism (the synthesis of cell structures), and a decreased rate of catabolism (the breakdown of cell structures). In humans, regular sleep is necessary for survival.

The authors have constructed an effective didactic tool that would serve well as the first reading material for anyone seeking information on sleep and its disorders. It should be highly recommended to graduate and medical students, residents, fellows, and sleep technologists.
