".. a nice addition to your library and a powerful teaching tool in a training program." Reviewed by Sleep Breath, Oct 2014
"As a regular teacher on the same range of sleep disorders, one of its best features is excellent online access (to all the pictures, graphs, polysomnography traces and patient videos)." Reviewed by Advances in Clinical Neuroscience and Rehabilitation (ANCR), Jan 2015

| Published Reviews | "The book primarily functions as a compendium of general modern sleep medicine. This new edition has been enriched by the addition of other editors. The book does not attempt to be a comprehensive review of sleep medicine, but rather an atlas of functions and graphic material. It is useful for mid-level practitioners, sleep fellows, Ph.D. researchers, and attending physicians with special interest in sleep medicine." Reviewed by Sleep Breath, Oct 2014 "...one of its best features is excellent online access (to all the pictures, graphs, polysomnography traces and patient videos). There are also several patient interviews - a really useful resource, and a key change to this second edition of the atlas, for a speciality where there are very few physical signs and the history is rarely taught at undergraduate level."
