Abstract

Sleep Disorders Information(www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/prof/sleep/index.htm) from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute website offers sections on sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, insomnia, with the information available as PDFs. A series of reports in the “Sleep in Youth” section addresses the serious consequences of falling asleep at the wheel and is aimed especially at younger drivers. There is also a link to the National Sleep Disorders Research Plan. This succinct section of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute offers an insight into what may be for some an obscure, if sleepless, corner of medicine.
