Oxford Handbook of Sleep Medicine
Gringras P. Paediatric Neurodisability and Sleep. In: Leschziner G, ed. Oxford Handbook of Sleep Medicine. OUP Oxford. 2022
This comprehensive handbook provides practical guidance for clinicians across all specialties encountering sleep disorders. I authored a chapter on “Paediatric Neurodisability and Sleep,” addressing the complex sleep challenges faced by children with neurodevelopmental conditions. The handbook covers the full spectrum of sleep disorders and is written from a practical clinical perspective rather than purely theoretical knowledge. Professor Leschziner, the editor, notes this as “a magnificent book that takes us into the future of sleep medicine.”
