The purpose of this study is to assist training doctors about different diseases of the nervous system affecting sleep.
Patients selected to participate in this study will have any of a variety of sleep disorders. They will undergo several tests including an overnight recording of brain activity, eye movement, leg movement, breathing, heart rate, and other measures.
Results of these tests will be used to better understand diseases causing sleep disorders and may be used to develop better treatments for them.
