Excellent- More about Sleep and Brain Injury
This book explores the relationship between sleep and brain injury, combining clinical practice and research to provide insights into how they interrelate. It discusses the neuroanatomy and architecture of sleep, the damage and dysfunction from brain injury, and the potential for novel treatments. It also offers four sleep foundations to optimize sleep problems after brain injury.

This groundbreaking book seamlessly weaves together a contemporary understanding of sleep and brain injury, combining empirical insights from clinical practice with extensive, up-to-date research to offer a comprehensive and thoughtful approach to these interconnected topics.
In the first chapter, the author delves into the neuroanatomy and architecture of sleep, exploring the fundamental need for sleep, the concept of good sleep, and the various factors that can disrupt it. The focus then shifts to the neuroanatomical damage and dysfunction caused by brain injury, as well as the resulting functional consequences.
To provide a holistic understanding, the author skillfully combines the two strands of coverage, focusing on the neurobiological, neurochemical, and functional aspects of both sleep and brain injury. This fusion offers fresh insights into their interrelationships, shedding light on how they interplay and contribute to the recovery process.
The book then turns its attention to the applied aspects of treatment and rehabilitation, raising thought-provoking questions about how this new understanding can potentially lead to novel treatments for brain injury recovery and sleep problems. In the final practical section, four sleep foundations are presented, aimed at optimizing the treatment of the three most common sleep problems encountered after brain injury.
This innovative approach underscores how sleep can influence the specific functional effects of brain injury and how brain injury can exacerbate certain functional effects of sleep problems. It holds the potential to revolutionize the field of neurorehabilitation.
For professionals working with brain injury and postgraduate students in clinical neuropsychology, this book is an essential resource, providing a comprehensive and insightful exploration of these complex topics.
