Overview of Sleep Disorders and Their Relationships to Aggression
摘要
The relationship between sleep and aggression was described in Chaps. 1 and 2 with a broad perspective on how sleep can result in aggressive behavior and the mechanisms through which this effect may occur. Much of the research reviewed focused on general aspects of sleep (i.e., sleep quality and quantity). This chapter delves further into the sleep/aggression connection by introducing sleep disorders that will be covered further in other chapters and exploring the associations between specific sleep disorders and aggression.
