Discussing The Different Types Of Sleep Disorders

Discussing The Different Types Of Sleep Disorders

There are many different types of sleep disorders. No matter what type you are diagnosed with, it still affects your life drastically. Every person has a different need when it comes to sleep. Not everyone needs a full eight hours of sleep to be productive.

There are symptoms associated with sleep disorders. With insomnia, one of the most common forms of sleep disorders, the ability to function is impaired. Concentration is affected and can cause the person to become irritable.

Narcolepsy is a very dangerous disease because the person affected is so tired that they fall asleep at any time. The person is overwhelmed by fatigue even if they have a full nights sleep.

Another very common sleep disorder is sleep apnea. This is when the person who is afflicted stops breathing in their sleep. This can be potentially fatal if the person is alone and does not start breathing on their own. The most pronounced symptom of sleep apnea is loud constant snoring.

There are many more forms of sleep disorders that can throw your life into chaos. When you cannot function properly, it can be frustrating especially if your job requires you to be detail orientated. The feeling of being tired can be overwhelming. It is important to remember that only a medical professional can diagnose sleep disorders and the best course of treatment.

There are many causes of sleep disorders. Some are physical and some are caused by environment. To determine if the cause is environmental, take a look at where you live. If you live in a high traffic area the sound of the automobiles and trucks as well as the headlight shining into your room may be the cause of a poor nights sleep. Loud neighbors or those who are night owls and come in very late may also cause you to have a poor nights sleep.

Pets and outdoor animals are the biggest offenders of causing a poor nights sleep. A dog that barks all night long can interrupt anyone’s sleep. For the person with a sleeping disorder it means remaining awake for the rest of the night. It is recommended that you keep all of your windows closed to ensure the best you get as much sleep as possible.

Adults and children alike can develop sleep apnea. It is more common in adults, but it is often found in premature babies. Children who snore are more likely to develop sleep apnea.

Once your doctor has diagnosed you as having a sleeping disorder he or she will determine which disorder it is and then decide on the best course of treatment. This usually includes medication, counseling, and behavioral modification treatments.

If these methods are not effective in treating your sleep problem, then your doctor my recommend that you may lifestyle changes such as adding an exercise routing to your daily schedule.

    I had major sleep problems about 10 years ago. I actually was diagnosed with narcolepsy and underwent a sleep study.

    The best information on falling asleep that I found was to establish a bed time routine. Like training Pavlov's dog by feeding him when a bell rang, you train your body that when you start your routine, it knows it's getting time to fall asleep.

    On sleep disorders, this is one that I never knew about until it happened to me. When I hadn't slept and the sudden urge to sleep would come over me, I would fall into a chair and immediately be asleep (narcolepsy). Unfortunately, I would wake up almost right away – at least my mind would wake up. Apparently, when you enter a dream state, your body is paralyzed from the neck down. It would take about 5-10 minutes before I would be able to move again after awakening.

    One other personal note, although I haven't found this in any literature: when I underwent the sleep study, they found that I woke up when my blood oxygen was low. Usually, I do wake up with a stuffy nose. When I clear my nose and do some deep breathing, I can often fall back to sleep again. Not sure why, but it seems to help me.

    Good luck with your presentation.

    You are not stable your dose yet. Are they still increasing you say 5mg every other day? Once you reach your dose (everybody's varies) that is one way you know is because of your sleep. That is one question my clinic always asked me when started was "How is your sleep?" As long as it was meed up they increased my dose until I reached 80mg and I was stable for a few weeks then I started hang trouble with my stomach again and they increased me to 85mg. This was the magic number for me but for some is much higher. My clinic doesn't like to go much higher which goes against research but fortunately isn't too much of a problem for me. So, Yes, it will get better. The best part for me was not waking up in withdrawal. What a bless! Good Luck!

    I don't know, but I know that if you stay awake for 72 hours or more you begin to suffer effects similar to Paranoid Schizophrenia. Scary. Go to sleep people!

    I went to standford's sleep clinic since it was supposed to be the best place in the world for it and I have "insomnia," and my parents were upset about it. It was a pretty bad experience, I discovered one of the glues they used was toxic, and I was kept awake all night by electodes on me generating a field, not being permitted to move at all, and people running down the halls screaming or something.
    Afterwards I was diagnosed with sleep apnea since I was unable to sleep for long peroids, and reccomended some drugs.
    I had been living with someone who had sleep apnea for about 2 weeks prior to this, and thus I knew what sleep apnea was. (When you lie down your windpipe collapses so you choke hence you can't sleep, and this guy was up almost all the time and really messed up by sleep deprivation).
    Because of that it was pretty clear to me this diagnosis was false (and possibly a catch all to diagnose people that don't sleep after you pay for lots of expensive tests). Standford has one of the best sleep labs so I'd wager some of this is applicable to your story.

    Sorry about the other question. I wanted to give it a serious answer, but with Qs like that, they tend to get mobbed with short 2 line answers, and by the time you get a real response done 8 are ahead of yours and no one ever reads it, so I basically cheated, put 1 line in, and then edited to say the full thing :P It's done now.

    Coffee increases the basic metabolic rate, which helps burn more calories. It increases mental clarity, as well as muscular coordination, can help to increase respiration rates and gives also a boost to low blood pressure. Indeed, several studies have concluded that metabolic rate or energy expenditure is positively affected by coffee consumption. For example, a study in the American Journal of Physiology in 1995 showed that energy expenditure increases by about 10% in response to caffeine ingestion.
    Caffeine is the world’s most popular psychoactive drug. It boosts metabolism and energy levels, making you feel more alert by interfering with the action of drowse-inducing adenosine in the brain. It also manipulates the same channels in the brain as amphetamines, activating the brain’s pleasure centers. A recent study from Brazil finding that people who drink coffee with milk each day are less likely to have depression. Also, studies have shown that coffee drinkers have a lower incidence of suicide than the rest of the population. Caffeine is a stimulant which, in moderate amounts, helps with fatigue associated with depression. Coffee has been shown to contain small quantities of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which are natural antidepressants.
    Just make sure you drink GOOD coffee and not the cheapest stuff you can get your hands on! Coffee should be handpicked, and best are Arabica beans. Order coffee farm direct, and you'll be surprised how well it tastes, let's you sleep, and you'll never go back to the regular supermarket shelves for it.
