A goal of each consultation is to offer practical recommendations that can be used by the attending physician, residents, and nursing staff for the integration of care provided to patients. All medical students rotating in psychiatry attend consult-team rounds twice each week. Sleep Disorders Clinic Physicians in the sleep disorders clinic evaluate and treat patients with disorders such as insomnia, enuresis, somnambulism, night terrors, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea. The evaluation procedure includes a general questionnaire and comprehensive sleep history, a physical examination, laboratory tests, psychological test battery, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, psychiatric rating scales, and psychiatric interviews. When indicated, we evaluate patients using all-night hypnopolygraphy in the sleep laboratory component of our sleep research and treatment center.
