To Search the Medical Literature about sleep disorders
US National Library of Medicine - enter a topic (e.g. "sleep apnea treatment") into the search window and this site will list published articles in medical journals on that topic. You can read the summary of the article.
New Abstracts and Papers in Sleep (NAPS) is a free service that emails abstracts about new research in sleep medicine. I strongly recommend that you sign up to receive news of research about your own sleep disorder.
