Handbook for Sleep Medicine Technologists is the consummate tool for polysomnographic technologists, respiratory care practitioners, neurodiagnostic technologists, nurses, physician's assistants, and any other practitioners who need to understand or perform sleep studies.

From choosing equipment and setting up a sleep center to hooking up patients, running tests and scoring polysomnograms, the handbook covers every aspect of a technologist's job. There is also a large section on principles and theory, including effects of pharmacologic agents on sleep and a complete discussion of all currently recognized sleep disorders.
