'I am delighted to see a book specifically about sleep and the role occupational therapists can play in assisting the person to manage the impact of sleep disorder. The range of conditions and perspectives discussed is the book gives depth and breadth to the wide-ranging aspects of sleep and sleep problems and the influence this can have on people's daily lives across the lifespan. I see the book as a useful resource for all occupational therapists from novice to expert.'- Professor Diane Cox, Chair of the Editorial Board of the British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Professor of Occupational Therapy, University of Cumbria, UK
