Chapter 3 - Treatment of Sleep/Wake Disorders
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 October 2021
Summary
In Chapter 3, we discuss numerous pharmacological and nonpharmacological strategies for treating sleep/wake disturbances. We address methods for resetting circadian rhythms that are out of sync with environmental cues, treatments for disorders of both hypersomnia and insomnia, and strategies for addressing obstructive sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome. It is important to stress that sleep/wake disorders often coexist within the same individual, and a multimodal treatment approach may be the best way to optimize outcomes for the individual patient.
