Abstract
We present a case-based approach to common sleep disorders encountered in the clinic. Sleep disorders are common in neurologic disease and may result from the disease itself or serve as a marker for potential neurologic disease. These include, but are not limited to, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, restless legs syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, and insomnia. A review of these disorders and their clinical presentation is presented. Treatment options and ethical considerations based on current research and clinical guidelines are reviewed and discussed. Understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of sleep disorders in neurologic disease continues to remain somewhat poorly understood. Though recent breakthroughs have helped to guide therapy for these disorders, research in these areas is needed. Consensus guidelines have been developed to help guide the physician and their management of common sleep disorders encountered in the clinic.
