WALLINGFORD — Internationally renowned sleep-disorders expert Meir H. Kryger, MD, FRCPC, director of sleep research and education at Gaylord Hospital, has published a new book, The Atlas of Clinical Sleep Medicine, a visual aid for diagnosing and treating adult and pediatric patients with sleep disorders. In addition, Kryger was a contributor to the first-ever sleep evidence-based recommendations for older adults, recently published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

Kryger’s atlas, which covers the full range of sleep disorders, is intended to help physicians diagnose any condition they may see, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, sleepwalking, REM sleep behavior disorder, insomnia and the parasomnias. The atlas also features discussions of pediatric conditions.

Kryger has published more than 220 research articles and book chapters. He is the chief editor of the most widely used textbook in sleep medicine, The Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine, which is in its fourth edition. He also authored the first comprehensive book about sleep disorders in women, A Woman's Guide to Sleep Disorders.
