Abstrakt: On average, humans sleep for a third of their lives, and sleep disorders are common and treatable. However, services for most sleep disorders are highly variable across the UK, and sleep medicine is neglected in the medical curriculum. We report the findings of an audit of patients with neurological sleep disorders seen in a combined cognitive neurology and sleep disorder clinics over a seven‐year period, 75 with hypersomnias, 67 with parasomnias and 39 with insomnia. Also, the results of a pilot of a cognitive behavioural therapy service for insomnia undertaken in the same population are analysed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
