Synopsis

Sleep disorders often hide behind resistant hypertension, fatigue, depression, arrhythmia, and poor metabolic control. This guide helps you recognize the pattern before it is missed.
Clinical Sleep Medicine in Internal Medicine gives you a structured, clinically oriented pathway from sleep physiology to diagnosis, treatment selection, and follow-up. Written for internists, residents, hospitalists, primary care clinicians, and relevant subspecialists, it translates complex sleep science into practical decisions you can apply at the bedside, in the clinic, and when reviewing sleep-study results. You can move quickly between mechanism, bedside recognition, diagnostic thresholds, treatment choices, and practical follow-up without losing the clinical context.
Inside this comprehensive reference, you will:

• Build a systematic sleep history using validated questionnaires, focused examination findings, sleep diaries, actigraphy, and complaint-based differential diagnosis.
• Interpret polysomnography, home sleep apnea testing, respiratory event indices, sleep architecture, oxygen burden, MSLT findings, and emerging wearable technologies with greater confidence.
• Recognize obstructive and central sleep apnea across typical and atypical presentations, including women, older adults, lean patients, and people with complex cardiopulmonary disease.
• Apply evidence-informed approaches to PAP selection, adherence troubleshooting, oral appliances, positional therapy, surgery, insomnia care, circadian interventions, and pharmacotherapy.
• Differentiate narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, NREM parasomnias, and REM sleep behavior disorder.
• Connect disturbed sleep with cardiovascular, metabolic, pulmonary, neurological, psychiatric, reproductive, hospitalized, and critical-care populations.
• Use clinical pearls, evidence summaries, safety alerts, illustrations, key terms, appendices, and reference material to support rapid review and safer decision-making.

Across 18 focused chapters, you move from foundational neurobiology and circadian physiology to the practical management of the conditions most likely to appear in general medical practice. The result is a unified framework for identifying hidden sleep pathology, selecting the appropriate test, initiating evidence-based care, and knowing when specialist referral is required.
Strengthen your ability to evaluate sleep complaints as core medical problems, not secondary lifestyle concerns. Add this practical reference to your professional library today.
