Sleep medicine

I want to wake up to a view of the sun peaking above the horizon from the second story window in my house. The exact moment our world goes from dark to illuminate. Thick pillowing clouds now becoming visible with the arrival of the sun, accompanied by an infinitely large sky painted in marvelous shades of orange, red, yellow, and pink. The colors so saturated that the intensity makes my eyes squint. I want to wake up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. A scent of freshly brewed Colombian…

9:00 a.m. The first thing I see as I open my eyes from a long peaceful sleep is my bedroom’s white ceiling. A kin to the speed of a snail, I get out of my bed and begin to get dressed for the day. After throwing on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts I make my way to the bathroom. Once I’m inside I nonchalantly brush my teeth, put in my contacts, and comb my hair. 9:30 a.m. As I make my way up the stairs I can smell a variety of sweet and inviting smells. Laid on the table I spot pancakes, bacon,…

The shrill radar sound emitted from me wakes you just enough to click snooze. After clicking snooze five times, you take me off my charger to unlock me. I’m the first thing you look at every morning; my bright, colorful screen waking you up provides you with all the news and drama that occurred overnight. Throughout the day, I am constantly with you, you can’t live without me. I save you from awkward moments alone on the bus as I supply music and a distraction from the annoying middle school-ers…

Have you ever had one of those moments where your entire life flashes before your eyes? It’s scary isn’t it? You think about all of the things that you will never get the chance to do. Will I ever fall in love? Will I graduate from college? Will I see my future children grow up? It’s the fear of the unknown which scares us the most sometimes. Typically, on a monday morning such as this I would be getting ready to head out the door for a long day at work. Not today. I sat on my bed covered…

• Do you have any pain? (If so, I would use the O.L.D C.A.R.T. to determine his pain assessment). What was the amount medicine given to your son last night and today? Did he take other drugs such as acetaminophen products (Tylenol)? • It appears that Brandon is tired and has a wet cough. How long has he been expressing this symptom? Does he have a past history of Asthma, liver disease, glaucoma, chronic bronchitis? • Do he have any allergies to any medications? • Were any other medications…

One evening when my baby sister Courtany and I were outside I decided to lock the kittens up for the night. I started calling for Midnight and got no response. Next out of the corner of my eye, I saw my dog Bear by Midnight. I ran as fast as I could over there, got Midnight put him in the shed by his Mom (Socks.) Socks started feeding,and,cleaning Midnight, along with his other five brothers, and sisters. Then after I got Midnight situated I ran to the house for help. I got my Mom told he what…

My day started with waking up to a faint sent of fresh bacon, birds chirping the most beautiful song for all to hear, and the sun shining down on my face to awaken me from my deep slumber. Then I hear my mother yelling with joy. I go down stairs to see what all the commotion is about, to find out that we just won the lottery. I dance around with laughter and happiness. We decide to use a portion of that money to drop everything and go to Hawaii, where the air is fresh, and a place with some of…

DREAM-CATCHER “You look terrible,” she said, handing him another cup of coffee. Edgar looked exhaustedly with blood-shot eyes at the waitress who handed him his piping hot drink. “I feel terrible,” he said, “Haven’t gotten sleep in almost five days already.” “Why? Somethin’ bugging you?” the waitress asked in her old, raspy voice. “Oh, it’s nothing,” Edgar lied. He’d been having nightmares endlessly since the incident. “Come on,” the waitress begged, “You can tell me. I never hear anything…
