AB Thirty-five  percent  of  adults  experience  sleep-related  symptoms  over  the  course  of  a  year,  making  them  among  the  most  common  complaints  in  clinical  practice.  Ten  to  fifteen  percent  of  adults  suffer  chronic  insomnia  and  they  account  for  the  largest  proportion  of  sleep-related  problems.  Insomnia  increases  risk  for  other  chronic  diseases,  including  hypertension,  diabetes,  depression,  and  dementia.  Daytime  sleepiness  impairs  work  performance  and  increases  the  risk  of  industrial  and  motor  vehicle  accidents.  Sleep  loss  due  to  sleep-related  breathing  problems  leads  to  profound  fatigue  and  life-threatening  cardiovascular  and  pulmonary  diseases.  Sleep  medications  themselves  carry  morbidity  such  as  falls,  daytime  anxiety,  and  worsened  sleep  apnea.  In  this  chapter,  we  review  normal  sleep,  disorders  of  both  sleep  and  wakefulness,  and  a  logical  clinical  approach  to  these  disorders.
