Lewis booked in to see me today due to ongoing concerns over his issues with sleep. He continues to have significant sleep onset insomnia and is still unable to retrial CPAP therapy. He is still reporting some nocturnal wandering, but has not hurt himself or anyone else and does seem to be aware of these events compared to past events where he though they were parasomnias. Many thanks to Peter Marriot who has increased his Endep to 20mg and clonazepam to 1mg in the last week. He continues…

Our bodies are tired by night (or whenever our normal sleep time is) and our Pineal Gland (same gland that produces…

The dangerous affects of losing sleep is equivalent to having a blood alcohol level of 0.05 to 0.08 percent. The body becomes psychically impaired and it will delay response time when one does not achieve adequate sleep patterns. Being overly tired is the same as being inebriated. The body needs at least seven to nine hours of restful sleep to maintain superior mental performance. It is a dreadful feeling to watch the clock and calculate the hours of sleep that cannot take place before the…

Explain the mechanism of action of the classes of antianginal drugs (i.e. how do they work?) "Angina pectoris is usually the first clinical sign of underlying myocardial ischemia, which results from an imbalance between oxygen supply and…

the principal conductor and regulator of the endocrine system. Furthermore, another essential process that the pineal gland undergoes is the secretion of melatonin, an autacoid hormone that controls the body’s circadian rhythm. Aside from controlling the body’s natural circadian rhythm, melatonin is used to cure many different conditions including radiation exposure, Alzheimer’s disease, and tinnitus.

Once you are getting older the amount of melatonin being produced reduces. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has said…

Elderly Care: Assistance with Insomnia When it comes to senior sleep, the studies are conflicted. Some studies show that seniors need slightly less sleep than they did when they were younger and need 6.5 to 7 hours. Other studies show that a senior needs the same 8 to 9 hours that they did when they were 20. Regardless of which studies you side with, when your senior loved one is not getting even close to the minimum 6.5 hours stated by the less conservative studies, then you know that they are…
