Any new news?
The only thing I learned is that it's very complex or multifaceted. The doctor said at the beginning of the lecture that to touch upon all aspects of sleep disorders it would take a six hour lecture.

However, there was a two-sheet "hand-out" that some received by waiting in a separate line. I got it but didn't think it was very important. Finally, a couple of days later, I read it and it gives information on how to learn more.

For more information on sleep disorders and healthy sleep: NIH Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (under Health Information for the Public).

Podcasts can be found in the online Diseases and Conditions Index.
