Sleep disorders and sleep complaints are common in the neurology patient. A good history can often be started with just a few well-worded questions to help identify the major sleep disorders. Identifying sleep-related disorders can help the neurologist broaden the differential diagnosis and treat disorders that can contribute significantly to many comorbidities of other neurologic diseases.
