Until recently, sleep has been a mystery even to scientists. Research has defined sleep function and the effects of sleep deprivation. Sleep disorders are interrelated with medical and psychiatric illnesses. This article presents insomnia, jet lag, and shift work sleep disorders and reviews issues related to women's health and sleep. Pharmacologic and behavioral treatments for sleep conditions are explored.
