Neuroendocrine Correlates of Sleep/Wakefulness is an up-to-date resource of research summaries and reviews written by major contributors to the fields of sleep, biological rhythms and neuroendocrinology.

Neuroendocrine Correlates of Sleep/Wakefulness is to provide a reference book for recent and future workers in this and related areas of medicine and biology.
