2 Annotated Bibliography Carskadon, M. (2002). Adolescent sleep patterns. Port Chester, NY: Cambridge University Press The author of this book documents how sleep behaviors change during the adolescent years. She discusses how these inconsistent sleep patterns directly impair the youths daytime cognitive functioning. The author has made the maturation of sleep patterns the focus of her research for 25 years, so I would consider her an expert and a reputable source. Colten, H. R., & Altevogt, B. M. (2006). Sleep and sleep deprivation: An unmet public health problem. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. Retrieved from http://www.nap.edu/catalog/11617.html In this article Colten & Altevogt explain how there has been an increase of documented sleep disorders. They discuss how a variety of medical disciplines have begun to research sleep disorders more rigorously due to this rise. They also present a structured analysis that suggests improving awareness among the public, investing in somnology research and training, and the development of new technologies for diagnosis and treatment. In my opinion, the authors have clearly presented a valid case to increase the research of sleep disorders and their effects on society.

3 In this journal article the authors examines the link between adolescent sleep disorders and migraine headaches. They determined that during adolescence these migraines are most prevalent, primarily due to sleep breathing disorders, lack of sleep and/or excessive sleep. This work would be useful in part by the manner in which it presents the data, which supports the belief that migraine headaches are a side effect of sleep disorders. Millman, R. P. (2005). Excessive sleepiness in adolescents and young adults: Causes, consequences, and treatment strategies. American Academy of Pediatrics, 115(6), 17741786. doi: 10.1542/peds.2005-0772 The author of this journal article review the existing scientific information concerning normal sleep changes in young adults, and the types of dysfunctions they trigger. He believes that there are age-appropriate sleep needs for adolescents and young adults. He also uses an objectively measured test, the MSLT, to benchmark the speed of falling asleep during wake hours versus sleep hours. The research was conducted for the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research so it will be a useful source. Ohayon MD, M. M., Carskadon PhD,5, M. A., Guilleminault MD,, C., & Vitiello PhD,, V.

Retrieved from: http://www.journalsleep.org/Articles/270702.pdf These authors conducted experiments to determine if REM sleep evolves from adolescents through adulthood. They discovered that there was very little change from 560 years old. The authors state that this was not an industry-supported study, however

4 they did receive funding from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. This source doesnt speak much on sleep disorders, but will be useful for other statistical data. Owens, J. A. (2009). A clinical overview of sleep and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children and adolescents. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 18(2), 92-102. The author of this journal article discusses sleep problems in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and offers suggestions on methods of treatment. The author shows the relationship between sleep and neurobehavioral functioning in children with ADHD. She concludes on how to clinically evaluate and manage these sleep disorders. The author admits to having no financial relationships or conflicts to disclose, which attests to the articles credibility. Reite, M., Weissberg, M., & Ruddy, J. (2008). Clinical manual for evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders. Arlington, VA: American Psychiatric Publishing. The authors of this book discuss how insufficient or disturbed sleep can impair daytime functioning and general health. The information would be useful to clinicians who are in direct contact with patients and patients with sleep complications and their families. They provide great detail to clinicians for diagnosis and treatment. All of the authors are diplomats of The American Board of Sleep, which should qualify them as experts.

5 The authors of this journal article experiment with sleep deprivation to address the issues of sleep disorders and their effects of those that suffer form them. They draw comparisons between good sleep and poor sleep to determine the effects on cognitive functioning. Their results show a connection between sleep disorders, NBF and behavior regulation in adolescents. This source will be of great use for the literature review. Stores, G. (2001). A clinical guide to sleep disorders in children and adolescents. West Nyack, NY: Cambridge University Press In this volume, the author suggests that sleep disorders are an epidemic, but their recognition, diagnosis and treatment has been somewhat overlooked. The author suggests that there are numerous ways that lack of proper sleep can be damaging, both physically and mentally, and uses case studies to demonstrate this belief. The author has over 200 publications mainly in peer-reviewed international journals and textbooks, so I would consider him an expert. Surani, S., & Subramanian, S. (2011). Sleep and safety. Sharjah, UAE: Bentham Science Publishers. This book is a collection of journal articles that discuss the various types of sleep disorders and the safety factors surrounding them. The contributors examine how sleep disorders cause health issues to haw they affect those in the public. The book essentially demonstrates how lack of sleep, due to sleep disorders, can create an unsafe society. The contributors of the book are all educated in a specific practice of medicine and should be considered to be reliable sources.
