Can hypothyroid cause insomnia?
Hypothyroid (low thyroid levels) are more likely to make you tired and drowsy.
Hyperthyroid is more likely to keep you awake.
Many diabetics have low thyroid levels, and take Synthroid. If you accidentally take two days worth of Synthroid, it almost is like being on amphetamines.
If your doctor prescribes Synthroid, he may specify the name-brand drug rather than the generic. There's nothing wrong with the various generic versions of the drug, but they do not have equal bio-equivalency. If you could stick to just one brand, it's as easy to titrate your needs as with Synthroid, but if you've been prescribed the generic, the druggist may switch brands on you without your knowledge, and that causes problems. Consequently, doctors tend to specify Synthroid rather than the generic, even though Synthroid is considerably more expensive.

What are treatments for insomnia?
1. Try to go to bed at the same time every night. This helps condition your body to sleep during the sleep phase of your biological clock. Once this happens, your emotional disposition will greatly improve.
2. Cut back on coffee, tea and soft drinks that contain caffeine. Most colored soft drinks contain enough caffeine to keep you awake. Clear soft drinks such as 7-Up and Sprite contain no caffeine.
3. Avoid eating large, heavy meals before going to bed.

Nobody had to discover insomnia. People have been having trouble sleeping since the dawn of time! Here are some good tips for a good night's sleep: * Follow a regular schedule - go to bed and get up at around the same time every day, even on your days off. * Have a bedtime routine - have certain things you do every night, like brush your teeth, shower, read a book, brush your hair. Any routine is comforting, and sets your body up with the idea that sleep is next. * Make sure that your bedroom is a good place for sleep - don't have a lot of loud noises or light, and have a comfy bed. * Save the bed for sleep - don't use the bed as a theater, restaurant, or library because you want your mind to associate bed with sleeping. * Avoid substances that interfere with sleep - drinking alcohol cause you to wake earlier than normal, caffeine and chocolate can make you restless, and smoking can make it harder to get to sleep. * Exercise regularly - if your body is in good shape, it will get tired at bedtime. Flabby people have more trouble getting to sleep. * Try a light snack just before you turn in. Sometimes hunger will keep you awake.

What are nursing interventions for insomnia?
I will answer with the presumption that your patient is hospitalised. A good history is necessary to determine the cause of the insomnia; and take a full set of observations. If your patient is comfortable, has adequate prescribed analgesia for any pain and you can allay any anxiety; they should sleep. Try all non invasive methods such as gentle heat packs, repositioning and a warm caffeine free beverage can be soothing (if fluids are allowed). When nothing else works and you cannot identify any common causes for the insomnia, report your findings to the Medical Officer for further assessment. Short term sleeping tablets for patients are at the discretion of the Medical Officer.
What book did Christians often place on their foreheads to cure insomnia in medieval times?
The Bible
How did adam young get insomnia?
When you go 2 weeks without sleep you begin to develop insommnia. Then a month and you have Adam's current stage (on and off for 3 months).
Can chronic insomnia be permanent?
Chronic indirectly means either very powerful, or in this case, an illness that will last a life time.
In my opinion it does. First of all if you take a pill for a night out you have no trouble staying awake and dancing all night. Then when you think you'll go home and rest, actually you don't feel like sleeping, so you stay up all day. Evening comes and you know you're tired and go to bed, but the sleep seems very light and a bit strange, you seem to spend the night in a trance rather than asleep. You don't feel very rested. The nights after that are fairly normal. I wouldn't say insomnia becomes a regular thing. I never took more than two pills max, usually one, and only two or three times over a couple of months in the year, but I could imagine that anyone taking ecstasy every week for a few weeks might well have sleep as disturbed as if jet-lagged all that time, because of losing a regular sleep pattern.
What is intermittent insomnia?
Intermittent means it happens occasionally; insomnia is a sleep disorder wherein a person physically cannot go to sleep.
What are some ways to deal with insomnia?
In many cases, insomnia is caused by another disease orpsychological problem. In this case, medical or psychological help maybe useful.
Recent research has shown that cognitive behavior therapy can be more effective than medication in controlling insomnia. In this therapy, patients are taught improved sleep habits and relieved of counter-productive assumptions about sleep.
Non-benzodiazepine prescription drugs, including Ambien and Lunesta,have a cleaner side effect profile than the older benzodiazepines;however, there are controversies over whether these non-benzodiazepinedrugs are superior to benzodiazepines. These drugs appear to cause bothpsychological dependence and physical dependence, and can also cause the same memory and cognitive disturbances as the benzodiazepines along with morning sedation.
Melatoninhas proved effective for some insomniacs in regulating the sleep/wakingcycle, but lacks definitive data regarding efficacy in the treatment ofinsomnia.
Melatonin agonists, including Ramelteon (Rozerem),seem to lack the potential for abuse and dependence. This class ofdrugs has a relatively mild side effect profile and lower likelihood ofcausing morning sedation.
The antihistamine diphenhydramineis widely used in nonprescription sleep aids, with a 50 mg recommendeddose mandated by the FDA. In the United Kingdom, Australia, NewZealand, South Africa, and other countries, a 50 to 100 mg recommendeddose is permitted. While it is available over the counter, theeffectiveness of these agents may decrease over time and the incidenceof next-day sedation is higher than for most of the newer prescriptiondrugs. Dependence does not seem to be an issue with this class of drugs.
Some antidepressants such as mirtazapine, trazodone and doxepin have a sedative effect, and are prescribed off label to treat insomnia. The major drawback of these drugs is that they have antihistaminergic, anticholinergic and antiadrenergic properties which can lead to many side effects. Some also alter sleep architecture.
Low doses of certain atypical antipsychotics such as quetiapine(Seroquel) are also prescribed for their sedative effect but the dangerof neurological and cognitive side effects make these drugs a poorchoice to treat insomnia.
Some insomniacs use herbs such as valerian, chamomile, lavender, hops, and passion-flower. Valerian has undergone the most studies and appears to be modestly effective. Cannabis indica has also been suggested as a very effective treatment for insomnia.
Alcohol may have sedative properties, but the REM sleep suppressing effects of the drug prevent restful, quality sleep. Middle-of-the-night awakenings due to polyuria or other effects from alcohol consumption are common, and hangovers can also lead to morning grogginess.
Insomnia may be a symptom of magnesium deficiency, or lower magnesium levels. A healthy diet containing magnesium, can help to improve sleep in individuals without an adequate intake of magnesium.
Some traditional remedies for insomnia have included drinking warmmilk before bedtime, taking a warm bath in the evening; exercisingvigorously for half an hour in the afternoon, eating a large lunch andthen having only a light evening meal at least three hours before bed,avoiding mentally stimulating activities in the evening hours, andmaking sure to get up early in the morning and to retire to bed at areasonable hour.
Pomegranatesare also believed to help insomniacs sleep. Other reports cite the useof an elixir of cider vinegar and honey but the evidence for this isonly anecdotal.
Using aromatherapy, including jasmine oil, lavender oil, Mahabhringaraj and other relaxing essential oils, may also help induce a state of restfulness. Horlicks is marketed as a sleeping aid.
Many believe that listening to slow paced music will help insomniacsfall asleep. This theory is being studied by professor Jedediah Fajmanat the University of Illinois.The more relaxed a person is, the greater the likelihood of gettinga good night's sleep. Relaxation techniques such as meditation havebeen shown to help people sleep. Such techniques can lower stresslevels from both the mind and body, which leads to a deeper, morerestful sleep1.
