December/1998
| "The patient has a predicament," Oliver Sacks maintains. Patients with restless legs syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or insomnia wrote this month's books. They report their symptoms, often frustrating search for help, and nature of their treatment. All go beyond their own experiences to address issues of broad concern to other persons with the same sleep disorders. A short story about a man who can't sleep is the subject of the last review. It's fiction, but the man's predicament, like those described in the first-person accounts, rings true. |
