Insomnia, narcolepsy, night terrors, apnea, and sleepwalking are just a sampling of conditions afflicting sufferers who cannot sleep--and their experiences in trying are the stuff of nightmares. Demoniac hallucinations frighten people into paralysis. Restless legs rock both the sleepless and their sleeping partners with unpredictable and uncontrollable kicking. Out-of-sync circadian rhythms confuse the natural body clock's days and nights. Then there are the extreme cases. A woman in a state of deep sleep who gets dressed, unlocks her car, and drives for several miles before returning to bed. The man who has spent decades cleaning out kitchens while "sleep-eating." The teenager prone to the severe, yet unfortunately nicknamed Sleeping Beauty Syndrome stuck in a cycle of excessive unconsciousness, binge eating, and uncharacteristic displays of aggression and hypersexuality while awake. With compassionate stories of his patients and their conditions, Dr. Leschziner illustrates the neuroscience behind our sleeping minds and explores the many biological and psychological factors that allow us to find the rest necessary to maintain our health and also improve our cognitive abilities and overall happiness."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.8498 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8498 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8498 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8498 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8498 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8498 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
