Disorders of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Parkinson's Disease

“This book, written and edited by internationally
recognized clinician-scientists in the field, is a welcome addition to the
sleep medicine, movement disorder, and neuropsychiatric literature. The authors
wish to discuss how ‘specific sleep disorders have emerged as important early
manifestations of synuclein related neurodegeneration specific for PD’. … This
is an excellent, unique, and useful book targeted at clinicians involved in the
care of patients with PD and related disorders.” (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody’s
Book Reviews, October, 2015)
