I've worked in hospitals and have always been taught that the nasal cannula should curve downwards. Cant give much justification as to why though..sorry!

Turn off the alarm clock.

The most optimal timing for sleep should be either 30 minutes or less, or around 90 minutes. Sleeping for exactly an hour would allow your body to enter into REM sleep completely, making it a lot harder to wake up. A half an hour nap solve that by preventing your body from entering REM sleep, while granting you the much needed rest. A 90 minute nap, however, is a lot more effective. It allows your body to enter REM sleep without imposing any difficulty in you waking up.

The uvula is a valve preventing things we swallow from going into the nasal cavity, it has nothing to do with the voice.

In my experience with narcolepsy...I don't have any trouble falling asleep at night. It takes me less than a minute to fall asleep after I turn my lights off.

A good source of medical information is WEBMD. Let's take a few moments to explain this clinical entity: Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. Therefore, at various times throughout the day, people with narcolepsy will experience fleeting urges to sleep. These episodes can occur at any time and thus prove profoundly disabling. Narcolepsy afffects about one in every 2000 Americans. It is usually not diagnosed until age 10-15 years old after the first symptoms appear. Two tests are essential in confirming the diagnosis of narcolepsy: 1. PSG (polysonogram) and the 2. MSLT (multiple sleep latency test). This entity can not be cured. However, over the last decade, the FDA has approved multiple medications to combat narcoplepsy. An excellent resouce to further explore narcolepsy is via The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a component of the NIH (National Institutes of Health).

Teens are under more stress and have a higher risk for night terrors, nightmares (usally accuring once a week), micro naps (also known as micro sleeping), sleepwalking, lucid dreaming, narcolepsy (deep sleep attacks like mico sleep), restless leg syndrome, sleep talking and insomnia. About 65% of teens in the U.S.A experience one of the fallowing above at some part in their teen years. Note that these are only a few of the disorders that can occur.

Guess what? I woke up to find that my period had arrived and now I'm up at the lovely time of 5:24. If I were you I would take a painkiller before I went to bed and then wear some tight shorts so that when you toss and turn nothing will move. You may want to have a heating pad handy so that it eases the pain. Don't eat many salts, junk foods, or dairy products. Hope this helps.
