Critical relationships exist between sleep and medical/psychiatric diseases. Understanding these relationships and having state-of-the-science knowledge related to sleep, sleep assessment and intervention in sleep dysregulation provides clinicians with essential clinical skills. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - National Institutes of Health (NIH) has identified chronic insomnia as a major public health problem affecting millions of individuals, along with their families and communities.
