Abstract
The content domains represent the clinical disorders of respiratory control and discussions of the presentations relevant to sleep medicine practice. Some of the areas like epidemiology are solely knowledge-based, amenable to testing factual proficiency through standardized testing, exercises in matching, or structured essay answers. As this group of disorders is highly prevalent and consumes a major part of practice, the reader is directed towards textbooks and chapter reviews elsewhere.
