Hypnology
The hypnology (or somnology) is the medicine of the sleep and the awakening. The doctor specializes in the diagnosis and the treatment of the disorders of vigilance (excessive somnolence) and the sleep (insomnia, parasomnies).
The speciality is recognized by the Ordre of the doctors in France since 2003, which opens the right to an exclusive exercise, officially entitled " Pathology of the Sleep and Vigilance" with the holders of the DIU (diploma inter academic of the sleep and vigilance) delivered by the French company of research and medicine of the sleep.
Taking into account the technical plate that the recording polysomnographic of the sleep imposes, the majority of the somnologists exert within hospital structures.
The liberal practice (far from widespread) of the somnology is mainly directed towards the behavioral and cognitive assumption of responsibility of the Insomnie and the tiredness which causes it.
