Mental disorders are the only thing that stands in the way of someone being able to fully use their brain. Have you ever had trouble sleeping? Seems like you have tried almost everything, but you feel like you still have not gotten enough sleep. Maybe you have a sleeping disorder. There are around 70 different types of sleeping disorders.

According to Ann Wheaton, starting school too early is not only a “student complaint” but it is also an “observation backed by science”. There have been studies to show that the average teenager needs a total of 8.8-9.5 hours of rest in order for them to function properly throughout the day. These early school days are causing middle and high school students, like me, to experience shifts in our natural sleep cycles. Our bodies’ inner clocks make it hard for us to go to bed before 10:30 or…

1. The role that dental sleep medicine plays in the overall treatment of some patients with sleep disorders can be very beneficial, especially using combination therapy. Although, dental sleep medicine alone is being used but not recommended for patients with significant sleep apnea (AHI > 25/hr.). Preferably dental sleep medicine is at its best if patients with OSA can’t tolerate PAP therapy, or the oral appliance therapy alone is not adequately effective. There are several reasons that…

Non-pharmacological techniques recognize the role that psychological and behavioral factors have in insomnia (Morin et al., 2006). Morin et al. (2006) describe several treatments that meet the criteria for empirically-supported psychological treatments for insomnia, like stimulus control therapy (SCT). SCT involves making the bedroom a place to sleep and establishes a consistent sleep-wake schedule. Another behavioral treatment is sleep restriction therapy, which is designed to restrict time…

corticotroph-derived ACTH and adrenal cortical-derived CORT, with an evident delay in the feedforward part of the loop. This indirectly proves that there is oscillatory activity. Without this feedback and feedforward process occurring, there would be no circadian rhythm which would consequently cause issues in other organ systems and disturb homeostasis in the organism. This mechanism is present in all…

This paper will critically analyze the content of Use and Success of Pharmacologic and Nonpharmacologic Strategies for Sleep Problems by Homsey & O’Connell. It will identify strengths and weaknesses of this quantitative research study while discussing the implications the results may serve for nursing evidence-based practice use. The purpose was clearly defined as a compare and contrast of the perceived relief from pharmacologic and nonpharmacological methods for patients suffering from…

In that moment, pain flooding into my body like a thousand tiny needles piercing my skin, I drop to the ground and everything went dark. * * * 3 hours earlier * * * A gentle shake rose me out of my slumbers. I opened my weary eyes; the light of the sun just starting to peek through my blinds. I stumbled out of bed and down the stairs. The sound of sizzling pancakes makes my ears perk up. The smell of melting chocolate and maple syrup pleases my nose. My mom greets me with a warm…

variety of sleeping schedules, such as the biphasic sleep and midday naps that promote productivity in the workday. However, due to the strong promotion of capitalism and modern practices most Americans have started to adapt to capitalistic sleeping rhythms. These rhymes are reflected in the normative sleep pattern consisting of eight consecutive hours of sleep per night. This is significant to medical anthropologists…

Waking up has always been difficult for me. I never wake up at a specified time, but I try. It's the thought that counts right? After hitting snooze about 5 times, I finally wake up around 7 everyday. I usually end up late to work and school but I like to think of it as my signature. I always skip breakfast, I'll have a coffee but I don't think that counts. I eat sparsely throughout the day because I'm so occupied with school, not to mention dealing with the stress doesn't help. I've never been…
