\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSleep Disorders - General Practice: The Integrative Approach\u003c/i\u003e. There are many types of \u003cb\u003esleep disorders\u003c/b\u003e, with different aetiologies, presentations and treatments. Generally, \u003cb\u003esleep disorders\u003c/b\u003e can be classified into one of four groups: \u003cb\u003ehypersomnias\u003c/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eparasomnias\u003c/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003einsomnia\u003c/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003esleep?wake schedule disorders\u003c/b\u003e. Some sleep disorders need to be referred to a specialised sleep disorders clinic for diagnosis and treatment. Other sleep problems can be diagnosed and managed within general practice and will be emphasised in this chapter. In the first part of this chapter we provide a brief introduction to the sleep process. In the second part, we outline sleep disorders such as \u003cb\u003eobstructive sleep apnoea\u003c/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003enarcolepsy\u003c/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003esleep-related movement disorders\u003c/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ebruxism\u003c/b\u003e and the \u003cb\u003eparasomnias\u003c/b\u003e, which require referral to a specialised sleep centre. In the final part we describe the diagnosis and management of the more common but heterogenous sleep disorders of insomnia and sleep?wake schedule disorders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/p\u003e |
