Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sleep disorders are a very common condition affecting millions of people all over the world. Both diurnal and nocturnal symptoms are related to sleep disorders, with a significant burden on sanitary, economic, and social aspects of life. Of particular interest are the consequences of OSA on the central nervous system, with proven associations with several neurological pathologies.
The aim of this Special Issue is to point out how sleep disorders affect the quality of life of these patients. We sincerely look forward to receiving contributions that analyze new technologies and new clinical tools (such as questionnaires and Artificial Intelligence) useful for the diagnosis, symptom management, and treatment of sleep disorders. Both articles and reviews are accepted in this Special Issue.
