What is the branch of neurology involoving sleep disorders/patterns called?

Friday, August 21st, 2009

I need to know, as I am interested in this. also, does anyone know if I would have to become a neurologist first?

Neurologists are only one of the many kinds of players in this field. Whether you need to become one depends on what you want to do. See the first reference for a good idea of what goes on in the field. Pulmonologists treat those sleep disorders related to breathing. Psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors treat those related to emotional difficulties and disorders. A patient with a sleep disorder would likely first consult a diagnostician to help figure out which of many possible causes is the likely culprit. For some, it’s as simple as not drinking coffee after 4pm.

The overall field is sleep medicine. Part of neurology is one part of that field.
