Is sleeping pills can cause of death?
Honey, this question just doesn't make sense. Learn to read through your questions properly. If you have alcohol with sleeping pills it could be fatal, but otherwise I'm not sure. If you want an accurate answer, search it up in google and click on a health website, there are plenty of them.
How can you prevent frequent nightmares in adults?
Scary thoughts. Try to think of something pleasant before going to sleep. NEW POST: Whilst it is true that scary thoughts have some input to nightmares it has to be understood that this is not the only factor, in fact it is the least likely unless brought on by a psychological condition, such as anxiety. Only approximately 5-8% of adults suffer from frequent nightmares. Nightmares can occur in adults who are classed as "creative", or who view the world without any sound definition. For example, they see the world in greys, not in black and white. Nightmares can also occur due to post traumatic stress, or through the use of a new medication (generally one that affects the brain eg. anti-depressents), or through withdrawel symptoms from a medication. If you are suffering from frequent nightmares that are affecting your daily life I suggest you see a doctor. They can find the root of the problem and help you get some sleep.

Why do some children talk in their sleep?
You did not mention how old your child is. If your child is below the age of 6 then here are a few tips:
Read your child a story (funny one) Put a night light in the bedroom Never have the child sleep with one or both parents, but until the child settles down it is advisable to sleep on the floor by the child's bed. Play a radio low with nice music.
If you child is 12 or older then try talking to them. Perhaps school is bothering them. If there is not peace in the family and parents are arguing or considering divorce (the biggest fear of children) this too must be discussed with that child.
Why are people always tired during the day?
In some cases the person is not tired; drowsy.
Keep in mind that your body induces a self-paralysis to prevent injury during sleep.
You're being freed from that paralysis when you wake up.
Makes you're kind of stiff, tired, drowsy, etc.
Also, your metabolism slows down during dormancy.
Waking up and doing stuff while your body's still asleep leaves you with a lack of energy being produced, leaving you feeling tired. (For just a bit)
(BTW, Sleepwalking is a disorder where this paralysis doesn't correctly shut down the brain's motor skills, and the body remains at the whim of an unconscious brain.)
A major reason why many people wake up tired is that they suffer from sleep disturbances that can include sleep that is interrupted many times during the night, inability to fall asleep for hours, waking up very early and not being able to get back to sleep, profound sleep disorders that prevent any restful sleep at all, fibromyalgia that induces pain during the night, other pain disorders, insomnia caused by stress, medication and anxiety, and sleep apnea induced by breathing interruptions.
An evaluation at a sleep study clinic may help determine the reason.
What is the cause of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis?
Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR: The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's(Filipino celebrity)death is nightmare or bangungot. Medical investigators in China , Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from 'acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis' found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding. However, it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water. It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water. The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest.

What is the best medicine for restless leg syndrome?
No. As of right now, it is not even understood if RLS is a physical condition or a psychosomatic illness. Thus, finding a cure is difficult when the cause is not known. There are treatments available, however. One thing I have found particularly useful to alleviate the symptoms is to rub Vicks Vaprorub into the affected area(s).
What are the disadvantages of too much sleeping?
Assuming oversleeping isn't a chronic issue, the fatigue you experience after sleeping in likely has to do with the disruption of your sleep cycle. Internal and external factors work to set your sleep cycle (or circadian rhythm), and when you break that rhythm, you're left feeling tired and out of whack.
You should also consider your recent sleep history—if you're in "sleep debt," a one-night sleep explosion to get you square with the sleep bank won't work. To return to well-restedness, it's best to add an hour or two of sleep per night, reports the Scientific American.
If you regularly experience fatigue, however, you should consult a doctor, as this could indicate larger health issues. Conditions from anxiety to heart disease could be at play; lifestyle factors like substance abuse and unhealthy eating habits can also cause fatigue.
Why have you recently started to wake up in the middle of the night between 1 and 4 am?
because if you or some one you know has watched or read something scary and that someone explained it to you you may not have nightmares but its stuck in your brain and it may not scare you but it may unlock your imagination and anyway you have dreams every night and you may not know it and that disturbs your eyes and you cant see some dreams (bad or good) so you still wake up and you wonder what caused it........... x

Why has my right hand started to tingle a lot and fall asleep at night?
It could mean you have carpel tunnel syndrome. if the part of the hand including the thumb to the thumb half of the ring finger (lengthwise) is affected, or if the other half of the ring finger, the pinkie and the part of the hand over them is effected it could be a problem with the ulna nerve. either way I suggest you get it checked out as these conditions can lead to serious damage if left untreated.

What type of water do you use with a CPAP machine?
Only Sterile or Distilled water should be used in CPAP machine.
It is important not to use tap water or drinking water as these will leave a mineral residue in the machine and will seriously decrease the lifespan of your CPAP unit.
Sodium Chloride (AKA Normal Saline or 0.9% NS) should not be used either. This contains "salt" which could cause functional issues as well.
If you have a residue in your unit try using a vinegar rinse to clean the water chamber.
What happens if you snort sleeping pills?
The answer is the same as if you snort any other drug, it's just a quicker (more painful) way of feeling the drug in your body. Snorting any drug through the nose is immediately absorbed by blood vessels in your nose, which go straight to your brain, causing almost immediate intoxication. So in turn, the answer is when your snort sleeping pills the only thing that happens is you feel them quicker.
It depends what drug you snort. Example, if you have ADD and get prescribed Ritalin. If you take them orally it calms you down, but if you snort it, it's like doing coke. Oxycontin/pills without Tylenol in them. If you were to snort Oxycontin it would be like doing heroin. If you were to snort Vicodin you would burn up your nose because of all the Tylenol in it. Sleeping pills.......if it were to be Tylenol pm or any over the counter med it wouldn't even help. All it would do is burn.
