Description
Sleep and Health, Second Edition provides an accessible yet comprehensive overview of the relationship between sleep and health at the individual, community, and population levels, along with a discussion of the implications for public health, public policy, and interventions. Based on a firm foundation in many areas of sleep health research, this text further provides introductions to each sub-area of the field and a summary of the current research for each area. This book serves as a resource for those interested in learning about the growing field of sleep health research, including sections on social determinants, cardiovascular disease, cognitive functioning, health behavior theory, smoking, and more.
Key features
Key features
- Highlights the important role of sleep across a wide range of topic areas
