内容简介
Richard Coleman
and made a significant contribution
gained considerable experience
as the director of the Stanford
UhiversiW Sleep Disorders Clinic at a crucial time in its history,when
it was stimulating an expanding interest in the field and establishing
sleep disorders as a nationwide discipline．He also served as chair—
man of the Multicenter Case Series Committee for the Association
of Sleep Disorders Centers and compiled and published data on 8，000
cases diagnosed and treated in eleven clinics across the United States．
In this book Dr．Coleman has dealt with areas of human health
that are associated with the scheduling of sleep and wakefulness．In
an ideal world there would presumably be a normal schedule that
we would adhere to：we would sleep when we were sleepy；this
would presumably be in the hours of darkness．Wre would sleep in
a safe place，SO we would have no anxiety．During the daytime we
would be fullv alert，without the need for caffeine or other stimulants，
and possibly planning a daily nap．Almost no one in the world now
actually enjoys these ideal conditions．Increasing numbers must fol—
lOW abnormal schedules and get too little sleep．Nearly half of US
must stay awake at night to watch over the other half as they sleep．
