Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This second edition by noted sleep medicine authority Richard B. Berry presents 100 cases that review key elements in the evaluation and management of patients with a wide variety of sleep disorders. Sleep disorders are among the most frequent health complaints physicians encounter: one third of adults experience occasional or persistent sleep problems. These disorders become a major health problem when they impair daytime functioning.

  • A glossary is provided for sleep and sleep lab terminology
    • The "pearls, " distillations of the key information for each case are always a key feature of books in the Pearls Series®
    All cases are real clinical cases compiled by the author, not theoretical


  • 10 completely new cases have been added
  • In addition to the cases, there are 22 sections presenting the Fundamentals of Sleep Medicine which better acquaint readers with the basic elements of sleep medicine
  • All first edition cases have been substantially revised and rewritten
  • Many new illustrations and sleep tracings have been added
  • The glossary has been expanded and updated to reflect latest terminology

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - this is the best sleep book ever
I find this book full of practical information about sleep medicine. The information is delivered in the form of clinical cases. The information ranges from interpreting polysomnograms to management of patients.
This is a very useful book for the clinician taking care of patients with sleep disorders as well as those interpreting sleep studies.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book.

This book was a great resource and covered a lot of material that I did subsequently find on the ABIM Sleep Medicine Exam. I don't know if I passed, yet, but, if I do, I'll attribute a big part of it to this book.
