title: Sleep disorders.
abstract: Advances in knowledge of brain regulation of sleep and wakefulness have led to greater understanding of the effects of such diseases as narcolepsy and sleeping sickness on brain function. Treatment of the two most common sleep disorders, insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), is often but not always effective; promising new approaches are under investigation.
