The field of sleep pharmacology is dynamic in nature and rapid advances are occurring in the field. For example, screening for new drug candidates, development of new drugs, identification of molecular targets, and works related to its efficacy and safety profiles. Furthermore, this leads to the development of evidence-based therapeutic guidelines. Insomnia Disorder: Epidemiology, Causes, and Pharmacotherapy consolidates the latest developments into one volume. It provides the latest, up-to-date knowledge regarding sleep and sleep therapeutics for sleep physicians, sleep researchers, psychiatrists, and any medical professional interested in the interdisciplinary areas of sleep therapeutics. Chapters include topics such as neurobiology, neurotransmitters, regulation of sleep and wakefulness, and overview of all current pharmacotherapies for insomnia.
