AB Everyone,  of  course,  has  had  a  great  deal  of  personal  experience  with  sleep,  or  lack  of  it,  and  has  observed  people  in  sleep,  so  it  requires  no  special  knowledge  to  understand  something  about  this  condition  or  to  appreciate  its  importance  to  health  and  well-being.  Sleep,  that  familiar  yet  inexplicable  condition  of  repose  in  which  consciousness  is  in  abeyance,  is  obviously  not  abnormal,  yet  it  is  connected  with  a  number  of  interesting  and  common  irregularities,  some  of  which  approach  serious  extremes.  Furthermore,  certain  neurological  conditions  have  special  types  of  sleep  disorders  as  common  features.  The  psychologic  and  physiologic  benefits  of  sleep  are  of  paramount  importance,  and  it  is  increasingly  recognized  that  disruption  of  sleep  increases  the  risks  for  several  diseases,  including  stroke,  hypertension,  and  coronary  disease.
