Sleep Disorders

• Getting enough sleep at night is very important. Most adults need at least 7 hours, but some need more.
• Eating a healthy lunch that is high in protein can help keep your energy up. Carbohydrates can cause a crash when the energy burns off.
• Drinking lots of water and help increase energy throughout the day.
• A brisk walk after lunch helps give your body a boost.
• I wouldn't recommend relying on caffeine to keep you awake at any time, especially in the afternoon. Drinking coffee or caffeinated teas in the afternoon can make it harder to get quality sleep at night. Plus, when the caffeine wears off you will feel even more tired. Caffeine can also increase anxiety and some studies have linked it to weight gain, depression, and disrupted sleep patterns.

Relax and think about happy things. Listen to soft, peaceful music. Get a glass of milk with a half-spoonful of honey (remember to brush your teeth afterwards) or a glass of water before bed.

Don't consume food and other beverages before bed, particularly candy or soda.

Also, don't watch TV or use the computer before bed, which only stimulate the brain. You should avoid them at least 1 hour prior to going to bed.

If you lie in bed and toss and turn and still feel wide awake for a whole hour, you're probably feeling insomniatic. Step outside for a few minutes and sit on a comfy chair. Try not to think of anything; just relax. Breathe in and out, then go back to bed.

Some people use acupressure to enhance sleep, where fingertips are used to preess key points on the body to stimulate natural healing. One pressure point on your arm for helping sleep is 3 finger-widths above your wrist crease between the 2 tendons on your left forearm. Moderately press right the right thumb for 5 minutes, breathing in and out slowly. Repeat on the other arm.

Massage your muscles or ask someone else to massage you, since sleep is all about peace and relaxation. If your muscles are generally tense, it may help to relax them before you sleep.

That popping feeling is called Fasciculation. When you work your muscles they contract and the blood vessels dilate. When you are done exercising and your body is returning to a normal state the twitching can occur. It should go away shortly after you finish your workout. This is normal after a good walk or jog..and usually sitting to rest. The feeling results in a "popcorn" feeling at the skins surface.

Very long and slow A+

REM sleep is, if any, barely affected by drinking.

The podiatrist I just went to, after a failed laser removal at a general doctor, prescribed prescription Tagamet 2x day along with covering the area with topical acid covered with Duct Tape. I thought he was on crack when I left his office, yet it seems to be working so far. This has been quite the ordeal and I will be in heaven if I have finally found a cure.

Just like eating or breathing, sleeping is an important biological process that not only keeps you alive, but it keeps you healthy. Getting a good night sleep is important to your mental, physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being.

Good sleep can help you remember, make better judgments, think clearly, prevent you from getting sick, prevent weight gain, promote a healthier heart, and help you live a longer, healthier life.

It is sometimes given in cases of insomnia, in people who have trouble stay asleep. It is generally used in depression and anxiety disorders

from a women's point of view its because we are all warm down there and after holding pee for hours it stimulates your clit after you finally pee in the am. And sex dreams but mostly same as a man's morning wood its from holding pee.

100 mg of pure d-methamphetamine to a body with zero tolerance is way too much! It's not the amount that affects the sleep its the last dose, add 12 hours to your last dose.

you are probably suffering from insomnia. it can be caused by all sorts of physical and psychological problems. If you are stressed during the day that could be a good reason. If you were not having a regular, consistent sleep pattern before the insomnia, that could lead to it. But it's best to consult a doctor with all of your symptoms.

During the long, boring lecture, most people agreed that much of the information was extraneous.

Yes there are. These options should be discussed with your physician prior to use:

1. There are dental devices which can be molded specifically for the patient as well as after market versions which are already pre-formed. These devices are worn in the mouth at night and push the bottom jaw forward, which hopes to improve airflow by widening the throat.

2. Another option is surgery. This is much more invasive than CPAP therapy, but is an option for when CPAP therapy isn't working or patients refuse to be compliant.

3. There are also some holistic/herbal medications which claim to help improve the conditions which allow apnea to occur.

Material deprivation refers to having insufficient physical resources that are necessary to sustain life.

Generally, Ambien and other hypnotics will not affect the quality of the sleep test. However, other powerful sleeping pills that have respiratory and sedative effects may interfere with the test. I suggest you check with the doctor or lab performing the sleep test to determine if it is a contraindication.

Insomnia can result in many physical and emotional problems as lack of sleep can result in the disruption of normal bodily function and can cause a person to experience emotional stress and depression.

This condition, however, can be treated with the help of sleeping pills and there are many types of sleeping pills available on the market with zopiclone widely considered to be one of the most effective.

Try a nice warm bath, soothing sents like lavendar. A cup of hot tea like chamomile. Dark room, quiet, romantic movie. Keep your feet warm. Close your eyes and try to imagine each of your muscles relaxing one at a time.

Some prescription sleeping pills are Restoril, Ambien (or Ambien CR) and Lunesta. Over the counter sleeping aids usually contain Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Some doctors prescribe antidepressants as sleep aids such as trazodone.

That would depend on the person's general health, fitness level, age, nutritional history and what you mean by "sick." You will most likely pass out before you get sick. ~ T

Well, loss of sleep will not directly kill you, but problems that arose because of it can kill you.

When you do not get enough sleep, your immune system becomes compromised, your blood pressure can go up, you can develop diabetes or heart issues also. Your cognitive abilities will be compromised, ability to think straight, make decisions. Driving drowsy is just as bad as driving drunk. People with sleep disorders have been tested in many studies, and their reaction times and decision making were that of a person who was over the legal alcohol limit. So, not sleeping can be very dangerous.

A visit to your doctor, and subsequent appointment with a sleep specialist for a sleep study is the way to go. Good sleep habits, making your room comfortable and quiet, the right amount of exercise not too close to bed time. If you get too much exercise it will bring your core temperature up, and make it harder for you to sleep. Your body needs to cool down to sleep properly. there are many good web sites that cover good sleep habits, etc.

One of those is Web MD. another one is www.sleepfoundation.org

So, yes, lack of good quality sleep CAN kill you in a lot of different ways. It is no joke.
