Abstract
Discovery of clock genes and increased knowledge of circadian rhythms has increased clinical awareness of circadian rhythm sleep disorders. This has led to an increased need for understanding the clinical features, the diagnostic modalities, and treatment approaches of these disorders. The chapter is designed to highlight important findings expected to be part of a sleep practitioner’s knowledge base as well as to provide specific examples of how topics in this area could be taught and then assessed for competency.
