Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders are a group of syndromes characterized by disturbance in the patient's amount of sleep, quality or timing of sleep, or in behaviors or physiological conditions associated with sleep. There are approximately 70 different sleep disorders that may be the result of serious medical conditions, including breathing difficulties or thyroid disorders, or external factors, such as stress or substance abuse. Manifestations include insomnia, sleep apnea, and narcolepsy.

Is it bad to wake up late in the mornings?
Yes, it is very good for our health to wake up early in the morning. This is because early in the morning, the plants start producing oxygen and because the atmosphere is cool, all the oxygen stays at the ground level. So, the air remains fresh and energizing.
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.
When you have more REM sleep than normal one night it might be because?

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.

It is OK to keep taking your sleeping pills. Antibiotics will not cause a problem with that. It is birth control pills which interact with antibiotics. Remember to take all of your antibiotics, even after you feel better. You want to kill all the bacteria and not leave any hiding in your body!
What is the normal IgE inmunoglobulin range for a two year old?
My eight and a half month year old was recently tested. I don't have all the specifics on what is considered normal range at what specific age, but I was told that a normal level for him should have been 15 and that at 44 his level was definitely high.
This question probably refers to the feeling of being unable to move when one awakens , called "sleep paralysis." This is the normal condition of the body while sleeping, that prevents dreamers from getting out of bed and acting out the movements of their dreams. Sometimes the mind begins to wake up before the physical sleep paralysis subsides, resulting in the sensation of being awake but unable to move. Along with the feeling of paralysis might be the sense that a shadowy figure is lurking nearby. More people are becoming aware of sleep paralysis as information about this interesting phenomenon circulates via the Internet.
[Another comment moved to "Discussion."]
Sleep is prompted by natural cycles of activity in the brain and consists of two basic states: rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, which consists of Stages 1 through 4.
During sleep, the body cycles between non-REM and REM sleep. Typically, people begin the sleep cycle with a period of non-REM sleep followed by a very short period of REM sleep. Dreams generally occur in the REM stage of sleep. Then the cycle repeats all over again.
Do stop snoring exercises really work?
I used to have also problems with snoring, specially when I used to sleep on my back. While I am not into into surgical solutions I looked for an other options.
There are different solutions for snoring: exercises, different natural remedies, special pillows, and the surgical pillar procedure.
Individually for me, the anti-snoring pillow did the trick. I have been trying different pillows and I would recommend brand called Snoreless.
What is a good way to go to sleep when sick with a cold?
Make sure you are comfortable in bed: not too warm, not too constrained. This is good in general, but is one less worry when sick and can help a lot. Secondly, get some Vicks Vaporub (or equivalent) and apply, rubbing it onto the throat and top of the sternum/collarbones. This helps with congestion in the throat and nose, and makes breathing a lot easier. Remember to be drinking enough water in the hours leading up to sleep, and have some on hand if you wake up in the night Last. simply lie there on your back and relax; don't think about it and you won't have a problem.
Should you still have problems, try a drug like paracetamol or ibuprofen, which has several effects that help with a cold.
