Resumo<P>An important area to investigate in patient management is sleep patterns. Sleep problems are common in the general population and can be a prominent symptom in psychiatric patients. Sleep disorders can impair performance at work or in school, contribute to accidents at work or while driving, and can contribute to mood disturbance, social adjustment, and marital dissatisfaction. Because of this, clinicians need to pay attention to sleep complaints from their patients.</P> <h4>ABOUT THE AUTHORS</h4> <P>Paul G.
