The term “sleeping disorders” is usually associated with sleepwalking and insomnia or inability to sleep. Sleeping disorders are common in today’s society. As per Wikipedia, there are around 14 varieties of sleeping disorders beginning with twitching in the eyes to restlessness in the legs.
Sleeping disorder is a feature of the modern times caused by stress, drug abuse, alcoholism, smoking, drastic changes in lifestyle, and poor eating habits, in addition to lack of proper physical activity. Normally, people sleep for around six to eight hours. The maximum number of hours a person sleeps is ten hours. If you do not get the required amount of sleep, your immune system will become weak, and this in turn can lead to all sorts of medical and health problems.
Most of these problems can be successfully treated. You can also prevent the occurrence of these problems if you take a few basic precautions. An undiagnosed or neglected sleeping disorder can create a lot of problems for you. Sleeping disorders can disrupt the harmony of your life. In extreme cases, it can also be life threatening.
If you spend your sleeping hours worrying about being unable to sleep rather than actually enjoying a good night’s rest, you could probably be suffering from a sleeping disorder. Those who have a sleeping disorder are, most of the time, not even aware that they are facing a sleeping disorder until the problem has seriously affected their life and career. People who suffer from sleeping disorders are usually depressed because their problem keeps them from living a normal, happy, and productive life.
A clinical test called Polysomnogram helps medical professionals to diagnose a case of sleeping disorder. A medical doctor has to make separate treatment plans for separate individuals because all individuals are not the same and don’t respond equally to a common treatment plan. As per Wikipedia, these methods are used for the treatment of sleeping disorders: taking prescription drugs such as Rozerem, Ambien CR, Ambien, Lunesta, and so on (these are sleeping tablets), psychotherapeutic/behavioral, and others.
People suffering from narcolepsy, a type of sleeping disorder, have to undergo a special type of test in which the activity of their brain is monitored to determine their peak sleeping points. Due to their problem, narcoleptics can’t work on machinery-related jobs that require a high degree of awareness and alertness.
Usually, people diagnosed with sleep disorders are given medication for a specific period of time. A sleep disorder makes the sufferers feel that they are not normal or that they are sick. On the contrary, a sleeping disorder is not really a sickness; with the proper treatment, you can easily treat it. Taking therapy will help you train your body to get the sleep that it requires.

This sleeping disorder problems are being discussed thoroughly in the coming 3rd WASM World Congress focusing on sleeping health and disorders. You can visit Symposier site for more updates and details regarding the congress. See you!
Far too long, sorry.
I think that this like many other things that have come and gone in the past years is unfortunatly not a cure. People are always claiming that a diet or something is going to cure autism. I work with children with autism and I've never heard about this working. I know 5 years ago when they thought vaccines may be causing autism it was all over the news. I think if it did it would be on the news and all over the place – because a cure for autism would be a big deal. This may be a good treatment for some children but I don't think cure is the right word. (This of course is just my personal opinion and it would never hurt to try a new treatment)
aw that's so good hun!!! except for in the beggining the third sentence doesn't make sense but that's nothing, your essay is great i wish i was as talented as you lol.
As always, we advise you to consult your health care professional for any medical advice or diagnosis.

I have a disorder,I sat up for days at a time.
until now I didnt realise that I have a sleeping disorder
Are you asking us to pick this apart and take out the important information for you?
Look if you are serious about acting then only you can do the work. Read through it yourself and highlight the parts that stand out. If you don't do the research and the work yourself it is pointless and that means you are lazy and directors don't like lazy actors.
Way too long to read….
I didnt find any
very boring! add ur opinions to it…
Baby, it is NOT impacting the relationship with me!
You know as well as I do that I have ADHD like hell.
I love You!
Please, don't change.
you're perfect the way you are.
You wouldn't be YOU without the random little thoughts that pop into BOTH of our heads at the same time.
I'm sorry you thought I was mad at you, I wasn't.
And please baby PLEASE don't risk you're safety over this.
Green Tea seems to work well enough!
And Xiao Xong, try NOT being a d/ick.
Ted, thank you for you're expert opinion on whether or not it's a problem or not. It IS a real condition that greatly affects people, doctors don't just say "oh yeah, couldn't focus? add.". they look at quite a range of things to see whether or not you have it. and no, you don't NEED medicine, but for some people it is very beneficial. Personally, I don't think medicine is right in most cases of this, and I don't want her to change in any way. And about acting like a bada ss…she's my girlfriend I can act as protective of her as I like, even if it IS pointless and to no avail because it's some random deutsch on the internet.
yeah it could me narcolepsy, excessive daytime sleepiness, or/ and hypersomnia..
but u should definitely check it out
if it cause u to have mood swings,
lose motivations etc
an overnight or more test
will be able to determine exactly what it is
since there are so many sleeping disorders
i believe about 100 or more..
yes u should definetely check it out
it could be just an irregular sleeping patterns
but if it goes over a week or a month
then check it at a doctor
or i advice looking it up online to checking out books..
there should be more symptoms
sleeping disorders is one of the hardest thing
to identify so take it seriously
Mix very basic medical information and biased advertising and you get this.
A more intelligent way to handle any medical problem would be to consult a decent doctor/ psychiatrist and read as much independent scientific information on your problems as necessary too fully understand them.
Sleep Deprivation in College Students
Much of society suffers to some extent from sleep deprivation. But ignoring the advice to "get plenty of sleep" has an exaggerated impact on the bodies and minds of college students. Faced with the famous dilemma: "Study, friends, sleep — pick two," it is often "sleep" that students delete..
Sleep deprivation, especially during exam periods, is a way of life for students. A recent study by the National Sleep Foundation (JACOB, CITE THIS ARTICLE HERE,IN PARENTHESES BY NAMING THE PUBLISHER AND THE YEAR OF PUBLICATION, LIKE THIS (National Sleep Foundation, 2009) ) found that “63% of college students do not get enough sleep.” Fifteen percent of college students admitted that they fall asleep in class. Those students who studied hard all week, but who then stayed up all night partying on the weekend, forgot as much as 30% of what they had learned during the week. (JACOB, IF ALL THE FACTS STATED IN THIS PARAGRAPH CAME FROM THE SAME STUDY, THEN CITE THE ARTICLE HERE INSTEAD OF AFTER THE WORD "FOUNDATION" ABOVE.)
Most students attending college suffer from sleep deprivation. A leading cause is a daily schedule that is too crowded to permit eight hours of sleep a night. Besides their class loads, many college students hold down jobs as well. With difficult classes and long hours at work, students don’t get enough rest. For example, college students may start class at 8:30 and finish at 3:00 — and then have to be at work an hour later. After work they stay up doing homework. Many students try to get by on as little as six hours of sleep a night, and some get only four. With busy schedules like these, students can’t get the required eight hours of sleep.
Besides a crowded schedule, another cause of inadequate rest is the unwise use of drugs. For example, caffeinated drinks such as coffee, soda, and energy drinks can cause excessive wakefulness. Consuming caffeinated drinks just before bedtime amplifies their deleterious effect on sleep.
Besides caffeine, students seeking to avoid sleep sometimes use prescription drugs intended to treat Attention Deficit Disorder. These include Ritalin and Adder all, (VERIFY SPELLING) which can have serious health consequences "and should not be taken without a doctor’s consent,” (www.sleep-deprivation.com). Other drugs college students may take that can affect sleep include certain anti-depressants, diet pills, illegal drugs (such as cocaine and methamphetamines), nicotine, oral contraceptives containing hormones, and steroids. These drugs have many side effects, including irregular sleep cycles.
Alcohol also impairs sleep. After stressful classes, students sometimes consume alcohol to relax before bed. While drinking alcohol causes a feeling of drowsiness, it also reduces the quality of sleep. In addition, consuming alcohol before bed can lead to an increase in the number of time students wake up at night.
The consequences of sleep deprivation hit students hard. The immune system is weakened by insufficient sleep. The number of white blood cells decreases, as does the activity of the remaining white blood cells. This may mean that students who are always tired are also liable to be sick more often than their well-rested classmates. Along with an impaired immune system, lack of sleep also causes a decrease in the level of growth hormone. When the level of growth hormone decreases, the body's ability to metabolize sugar declines, so sugars are turned into fat.
But a lack of sleep impacts the mind as well as the body. According to an article by Sarah Ledoux, (JACOB, CITE THIS ARTICLE HERE ) "Sleep deprived test subjects have difficulties thinking of imaginative words or ideas. Instead, they tend to choose repetitious word or clichéd phrases.” This may imply that students will be insufficiently creative to benefit from their courses. Lack of sleep can also cause students to be unable to react to unpredictable changes in routine, to lose their ability to focus on several different tasks, and to decrease the speed and efficiency of their actions. Students who are suffering from lack of sleep are unable to solve complex problems; and even if they can solve them, the solutions will not be original.
(JACOB, I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD END THIS ESSAY WITH A SHORT LIST OF BULLET POINTS OF THE THE CHANGES IN THEIR HABITS THAT STUDENTS SHOULD DO TO AVOID GETTING INSUFFICIENT SLEEP.)
SUGGESTED LEAD FOR THE FINAL PARAGRAPH:
Students can change their habits to avoid the consequences of insufficient sleep. Here are four (OR WHATEVER NUMBER) simple steps that students can take to ensure they get enough sleep:
* Do not consume alcohol or caffeinated drinks before bedtime
* Avoid the use of non-prescribed drugs
* Do not use drugs for their effects on wakefulness
* Arrange a daily schedule that allows for plenty of rest
* etc etc
Hope this helps,
