The powerpoint on lifespan changes in sleep is here.

Today we looked at explanations for insomnia. We discussed different ways of diagnosing and describing the disorder, most notably predisposing, precipitating and perpetuating components, and also methods of treatments. The ppt is here and the patient accounts are here

With regard to narcolepsy, the NHS video of the young narcolepsy sufferer is here, it contains some good background info. My powerpoint is here.
