Sleep, Mind and Homoeopathy An Academic and Clinical Study of Sleep Disorders

Abstract

Sleep is a fundamental aspect of human biology, influencing cognition, mood, behaviour, and overall well-being. *Sleep, Mind and Homoeopathy* presents a structured and comprehensive approach to understanding sleep disorders from both contemporary medical and Homoeopathic perspectives. The book begins with the physiology of sleep, circadian rhythms, classification of sleep disorders, and methods of clinical assessment. Subsequent chapters address insomnia, excessive sleepiness, circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnias, nightmares, and other sleep-related conditions. It also explores individualisation, case-taking, repertorial analysis, materia medica, existing research, outcome assessment, and priorities for future investigation. A distinctive feature of the book is its comparison of modern diagnostic terminology with classical Homoeopathic descriptions of related symptoms. Emphasis is also placed on the use of validated sleep-assessment tools and appropriate reporting of treatment outcomes. Designed for students, practitioners, researchers, and readers interested in sleep health, the book provides an integrated framework for evaluating sleep complaints while also identifying conditions that may require specialist investigation and multidisciplinary clinical management.
