The SRS Basics of Sleep Guide is intended to serve as a study aid for sleep science, providing information about aspects of sleep while indicating potential areas in which the reader may be deficient in knowledge of sleep. Topics, such as sleep across the life cycle, sleep deprivation/restriction, and sleep physiology, were selected for inclusion in the Guide on the basis of those historically represented in specialty board examinations. Each chapter contains Key Concepts and a Suggested Bibliography providing additional source material. The goal of the editorial board was to facilitate preparation for the basic sleep science components of specialty examinations.
