Phantom of the Night: Overcome sleep apnea syndrome and snoring -- win your
hidden struggle to breathe, sleep, and live. T. Scott Johnson, M.D. and
Jerry Halberstadt, foreword by William Dement, M.D., Chairman of the
National Commission on sleep disorders research. About 184 pages,
illustrated, scheduled publication date, Feb 1993, paper, 8.54 x 11", S&H
ISBN 1-882431-00-6. Written by a sleep specialist and a patient, covers
everything from diagnosis through long-term recovery with a stress on the
personal, social, and emotional as well as the medical/physical issues.
Major focus is on use of CPAP therapy but also covers alternatives.
Intended as a handbook and guide for patients but with much useful
information for professionals. Not available in bookstores yet but if you
send your address, Pete, I will forward a flyer to you by smail.
This book includes a bibliography, selected for relevance to the patient
and layperson; however nearly all the literature in the field is directed
to doctors and other health professionals. A few relevant books:
Lipman, Derek, Stop your husband from snoring; Emmaus, Penn: Rodale Press,
1990 deals with apnea and snoring from the perspective of what an ENT
doctor can do, including surgery.
Ferber, Richard, Sove Your Child's Sleep Problems, NY, Simon and Schuster,
1985 (and paper). A chapter relevant to children and adolescents with
apnea.
Hauri, Peter & Shirley Linde, No More Sleepless NIghts, NY: John Wiley &
Sons 1990; deals with various insomnias and how to figure out which one you
have; a few pages on apnea.
Mosley, James, Snore No More, Cleveland, International Scene Publication &
Distribution, 1990; a personal view of the problema nd treatments.
Hope this helps.
