Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Best and updated sleep medicine book
A simplified, easily underderstanding (a lot of tables and figurs),up to date,condenced book. The weak point is most of the content confining in sleep medicine in adult. A few chapters are for sleep medicine in children.


The best Sleep Medicine book for the Board Exam
This is the best and most updated book on sleep medicine out there right now. I just passed the ABIM Sleep Medicine Exam this year (Nov, 2011)and this was the most helpful book I have ever come across. It has all the basics of ALL aspects of sleep medicine and Polysomnography that you need to know for the boards. I would consider it to be an essential reading for the Fellows in Sleep Medicine. Many many thanks to Dr. Berry.


BEST IN SLEEP MEDICINE
MOST UPDATED. ALL THE PRACTICE PARAMETERS AND CLINICAL GUIDELINES FROM AASM INCLUDED. VERY CLEAR AND LUCID WAY OF WRITING. A LOT OF PICTORIALS FOR DISEASE DIAGNOSIS LIKE ACTIGRAPHS AND POLYSOMNOGRAPHS. ALL THE CHANGES IN THE FIELD OF SLEEP MEDICINE AFTER 2007 INCLUDED AND VERY NICELY UPDATED.
It covers ICSD-2, Sleep scoring manual, practice parameters, clinical guidelines of AASM. THIS IS WHAT IS MOST ESSENTIAL FOR SLEEP BOARDS. EVERYTHING AT ONE PLACE AND MUCH LESSER COST. WOW!! WHAT A BARGAIN.
In addition to all this nicely covered the technical concepts of Polysomnography also.
ANYONE WANTS TO BUY ONE ANF FIRST BOOK ON SLEEP MEDICINE, THIS IS THE BOOK. NICELY DONE DR. BERRY.
