Basics of Sleep Technology

Basics of Sleep Technology: Fundamentals of Sleep Technology covers the critical elements of sleep and sleep technologies. The book gives a thorough understanding of sleep physiology, neurophysiological concepts, the principles of operation of the numerous equipment types used to diagnosis sleep disorders, and contemporary methodologies for diagnosing sleep disorders. As sleep professionals must understand the fundamentals of signal creation, acquisition principles, and data grading from a sleep diary, actigraphy, and polysomnography, this book provides all of this and more to anyone wishing to develop a comprehensive understanding of sleep. The book underscores that sleep medicine and technology are dynamic and rapidly growing medical specialties, and that one must stay up with the newest innovations in the area, but not at the price of the fundamentals. Users will find a solid background on cutting-edge advances in sleep medicine, diagnostics, monitoring, and therapeutics.
