In looking to the future in a field such as sleep medicine, there seems to be two general areas: (1) the scientific accomplishments that are likely to transpire in the years ahead and (2) how sleep medicine will be practiced in our evolving medical system. As the care of apnea patients becomes more standardized and effective, sleep medicine must be expanded scientifically and clinically, thereby becoming a complete and mature field. Advancing basic science and technology is likely to improve the well-being of patients with sleep disorders.
展望睡眠医学等领域的未来，似乎有两个总体方向：（1）未来几年可能取得的科学成就，以及（2）在不断发展的医疗体系中睡眠医学将如何应用。随着对呼吸暂停患者的治疗变得更加标准化和有效，睡眠医学必须在科学和临床方面不断拓展，从而成为一个完整且成熟的领域。推进基础科学和技术发展可能会改善睡眠障碍患者的健康状况。
