ABSTRACT

When discussing sleep disorders, the tendency is to think about difficulties in falling asleep, tossing and turning or waking up frequently. I admit that until I wrote this book, I too did not think too much about the different types of sleep disturbances, especially those from which women suffer, for the same reason I mentioned above: The tendency among physicians and therapists to treat sleep disturbances as a single disorder, without paying attention to many other details and without investigating them further.
