Some people have given up on their alarm clock, because it never wakes them up. Yet in reality the real reason for this is a sleep related amnesia in which one does not remember doing something right before one falls asleep. REM, rapid eye movement, sleep is a period of sleep that occurs about 70 to 90 minutes after a…

Adeline Louisa Vargas is the apple of my eye and one of the greatest things to ever happen to me; although, her arrival here was anything but pleasant and easy going. From the excruciating back labor that started at home, to the scare she gave before being freed from my womb, it was more frightening than a horror movie.

Since then the disease has been researched and studied to generate a knowledge base of symptoms, etiology, pathogenesis, treatment and management of the disease. AD is differentiated from senile dementia due to the neurodegenerative process which involves deposits of protein known as amyloid in neurons and neurofibrillary tangles which form plaques. This formation of plaques leads to…

up from your sleep terrified and alert. In nightmares, you can still remember what the dream was when you wake up, and sometimes for a longer period of time. Night terrors are short, after dark episodes that cause extreme terror and panic. Most of the time you can't even remember what the night terror was about. When Broughton started an investigation on nightmares, he found that sudden and intense arousal from slow wave sleep made night terrors occur. They sometimes happen during sleep stages…
