title: Sleep and health: research and clinical perspectives.
abstract: Overall, the Workshop covered most of the principal areas which will be the focus of the Worldwide Project on Sleep and Health. Presentations ranged from the basic science of melatonin receptors to the epidemiology of untreated insomnia, and finally, to the education of primary care physicians. It was emphasized that there is a need for more data, and new experimental paradigms are necessary for successful public health initiatives dealing with sleep disorders.
