Publisher's Synopsis
Sleep is a fundamental behavioural state in the physiological maintenance of the body. However, chronic sleep restriction is becoming increasingly widespread in the population, even affecting adolescents, who are showing a reduction in the amount of time they sleep per night. Sleep disorders among adolescents are therefore a real problem that deserves attention from parents, educators and the medical community in general. **This book was developed in partnership with the following authors: Carlos Alberto do Amaral Medeiros, Carlos Frederico de Almeida Rodrigues, Master's Degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Specialist in Neurosurgery from the Souza Aguiar Municipal Hospital (HMSA), Specialist in Paediatric Neurosurgery from the Fernandes Figueira Institute (IFF) and Professor of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Bioethics at the State University of Western Paraná.
