This book focuses on the latest research on the genetic basis of the regulation of sleep and wakefulness and of sleep and circadian rhythm disorders, which has been expanding rapidly due to advances in genetics. The book reviews the latest genetic discoveries in animals and humans and explores their implications for getting a good night's sleep. Philp Gehrman, Alex Keene, Struan Grant, and a cadre of top sleep researchers and clinicians explore the genetics of sleep and sleep disorders in depth. The book should appeal to sleep medicine specialists, psychiatrists, geneticists, and neuroscientists.

Philip Gehrman, PhD, is Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology in Psychiatry at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and is a member of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
