First thing to know is, what is Asperger’s disease? Before you try to treat a sleep disorder, or associate it with having Asperger’s, make sure you know that the child experiencing sleep issues actually has Asperger’s disease.
This disease is a neurological condition belonging to autism spectrum disorders. Most common effects are those relating to motor skills. They will be uncoordinated, and will have difficulty doing things that comes natural to most children.
Such as jumping, running, climbing, and riding a bike. But it is important to recognize the difference between this condition, and what is considered to be autism. Although sometimes confused with autism, there is one key difference, and that is in communication skills.
Those diagnosed with autism usually have problems with both verbal and nonverbal communication. On the other hand, those with asperger’ disease actually achieve a high level of communication, and speak very well.
The problem is, they tend to be very narrowly focused on a singular subject. They will talk obsessively about their interest and little else. They will actually excel in the knowledge of the subject that is consuming them to the point of becoming an expert.
Unfortunately, anything someone else might want to talk about, takes a back seat to his or her interest. This makes it difficult for them to interact with others who would normally want to talk about a wider area of interests.
Some other symptoms to watch for are, limited social skills, problems expressing themselves in a nonverbal manner, routines they can’t break away from that they will continue to repeat, and problems relating to their peers.
There is a better than average chance that if a person has asperger’s disease they probably suffer from a sleep disorder, more commonly insomnia. Children with asperger’s disease usually have a problem with initiating sleep, and the continuity of sleep.
This is do-to the neuropsychiatric deficit that is inherent of asperger’s. Of course this will more than likely carry into adulthood. If the individual is loosing sleep, then other problems will start to arise.
Daytime fatigue, loss of appetite, and possible depression are a few of those problems. All of these things should be taken into consideration when planning a course of action that should include medical help.
There have been sleep studies done with adults that have asperger’s syndrome. In those cases, sleep diaries were used to document all sleep habits. Included were times the participants fell asleep, length of time they slept, how often the woke, naps during the day, along with what their eating, drinking, and smoking habits were.
In the end regardless of each persons own personal habits 18 out 20 people had insomnia. So there does appear to be a correlation between having asperger’s syndrome, and suffering from a sleep disorder.
Of course always speak with a medical professional before trying to treat anything on your own. In this case you have two disorders to treat. First you need to take care of the asperger’s disease, which could be causing the anxiety that leads to the insomnia.
You don’t want to start taking, or giving medication to someone for an issue that might lead to more problems down the road. Consult your doctor, get the best medical advice you can, and be safe.

Insomnia/Sleep disorder help needed!?I have suffered from severe insomnia for about five years now but it has been getting worse over the recent months and it's almost unbearable to live with. I have been to the doctor numerous times and tried a variety of different sleep medications and every over the counter drug and honestly nothing has worked, or even slightly helped me at all. Many don't believe that none of those things have worked for me, but the honestly have not. The longest I have not slept at all, not even a few minutes has been 10 1/2 days..has anyone else ever had this intense difficulty? I have tried all the normal obvious things like no caffiene,breathing excercises,completely dark room,etc. Nothing works for me, I just can seem to shut my brain off and stop worrying and thinking about things and sometimes I cry and cry and still no sleep. At times I feel like I am going insane. If anyone has ever gone through this and/or has any potentional helpful tips/solutions/ideas it would be very appreciated!

Insomnia is often caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression or sometimes for no apparent reason. Make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark. Soak a tablespoon of mint leaves in a cup of water for an hour, drink every night. Check out http://useinfo-insomnia.blogspot.com/ for more info
ha, i remember you cunts now, youre the dude that gave the dude at 3:58 salvia in “insane salvia trip” if this vid was made after said vid, that guy is gullible as fuck
Some people require more sleep than others. Do you snore? You might have sleep apnea, and this can be treated. You could see your doctor and see if he thinks a sleep study is in order.
Perhaps this isn't connected to a sleep problem but a vitamin deficiency or a hormone deficiency. Again, you'd need to see your doctor for blood work.
I JUST WANT TO FUCKING SLEEP!!
Yeah I think I see your point, I don’t quite get it but I guess so. But I weaned myself from all my medication (anti-histemines, Fluoxetine and Melatonin) and I prefer it that way, I didn’t like relying on them. And they made no difference now I am off them. I just eat healthily and hit the herb every once in a while and doctors say my body is healthy.
Still need to check out your Depression Therapy video, maybe you covered Fluoxetine in that.
I used to use Melatonin; used it for about a year and a half. It’s not a genuine, powerful prescription; more of a sleep aid. If you are already very slightly tired, take it and go to bed in about half an hour, you’ll fall asleep faster. At least, that’s how it worked for me. The only bullshit meds I’ve been prescribed that worked at all. Stopped taking it at the start of 2009 and I can still get to sleep the same way. My recommendation is to not be a pussy and give it some willpower. Peace.
Agreed to the extent it shouldn’t be looked at as something to blame other problems on coming from my experience however the decision to take an easy fix that causes little to no problems wins in a logic sense when the alternative is will power which still takes hard work and will always take a lot of time.
Yes irregular sleep habits are on of the root causes of insomnia .Not sleeping at all (under acute conditions) will cause excessive sleepiness, lack of attention and concentration. A person cannot remain healthy without sleep. If ur doing it for any thing such as exams it will not help u at all as u spend more time studing ineffectively if u do not sleep. on an average an healthy young person requires 6- 8 hrs of sleep / day. The duration comes down with age
What is Narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. At various times throughout the day, people with narcolepsy experience fleeting urges to sleep. If the urge becomes overwhelming, individuals will fall asleep for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. In rare cases, some people with narcolepsy may remain asleep for an hour or longer.
Symptoms of Narcolepsy?
The most common symptoms of narcolepsy are:
Excessive daytime sleepiness
The sudden loss of voluntary muscle tone (cataplexy)
Vivid hallucinations during sleep onset or upon awakening
Brief episodes of total paralysis at the beginning or end of sleep.
What Causes Narcolepsy?
The exact cause of narcolepsy is unknown.
Can Narcolepsy be Treated?
Unfortunately, there is no cure for narcolepsy. However, two classes of antidepressant drugs have proved effective in controlling the sudden loss of muscle tone in many patients: tricyclics and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
Drug therapy should be supplemented by behavioral strategies. For example, many people with narcolepsy take short, regularly scheduled naps at times when they tend to feel sleepiest. Improving the quality of nighttime sleep can combat narcolepsy and help relieve persistent feelings of fatigue.
Complications of Narcolepsy
A person with narcolepsy may experience difficulty driving, and working.

2- Its the 6 hours that it takes of concentration attempting to sleep so you can claim independence from that dirty thing science compared to a pill that’s been so disgustingly slandered that people will actual believe absurd malicious propaganda about it.
You should start by writing a letter to your university begging for an extension so that you can complete this work by yourself. Nobody can do this in one day and they shouldn't have to as it is your responsibility and it is your fault if you fail.
