Abstract

As we begin this journey to tackle the evolution of sleep medicine in neurology and examine the changes, it would behoove us to remind ourselves where it all started with the introduction of a man who is affectionately referred to as the father of sleep medicine. Born in 1928 in Wenatchee, Washington, William Dement is a pioneer of sleep medicine and founder of the Sleep Research Center at Stanford University. He is considered a leading authority on subjects such as sleep, sleep deprivation, and the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and narcolepsy.
