Sammanfattning
Sleep is vital for good health. This chapter first describes normal sleep and how sleep is
regulated. The chapter then focuses on the assessment and treatment of the different sleep
disorders, namely insomnia, sleep related breathing disorders (e.g. obstructive sleep apnea),
circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, parasomnias, sleep related movement disorders (e.g.
restless legs) and finally central disorders of hypersomnolence (e.g. narcolepsy). Since dentists
participate in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, special emphasis is placed on this sleep
disorder.
