Secondary Insomnia and the Drugs Used To Treat It
I previously posted about the diagnosis of insomnia, the difference between primary and secondary/comorbid insomnia, and the importance of evaluating for and treating any underlying causes of insomnia. I encourage you to read my Secondary Insomnia post before reading any more of this post. Today I will be talking more about medication treatment options for secondary (comorbid) insomnia. Although persons with primary insomnia (insomnia...
Polysomnogram: What Is It, And How Does It Work?
Let's continue talking about obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We already discussed some of the symptoms and signs, as well as the significance of untreated OSA and the related diseases such as stroke, heart attack, and diabetes. Today we will focus on the polysomnogram (PSG), the test used to diagnose OSA, as well as most other sleep disorders. Again, if we break down the words it won't seem so mysterious- poly means many, somno means...
Daytime naps may enhance memory skills: study

Do Away With Sleepless Nights With A Decorative Bedroom
Do you come home from work exhausted but find, once you enter
the bedroom, you can't fall asleep? You are uncomfortable in
what should be your inner sanctum, your own personal area of
solitude and peace. You look around and are not comforted by
what you see, and you realize the master bedroom furniture is
just lacking in appeal. You can stand it any more, and you need
to find an inexpensive way to decorate your bedroom so you can
do away with sleepless nights. With the options available
through Fashion Bed Group, you'll see how easy that can be.
What is your style? This is the ultimate question you must ask
as you shop for bedroom furniture. Are you a minimalist who
likes things simple, with clean lines and angles and a few small
knick-knacks to brighten and personalize the room? Do you prefer
grand designs, with large hulking images and furnishings that
are powerful in a space and stately by design? If you are one of
the former, you will probably enjoy shopping for modern platform
beds, which are quite simple and leave you with a clean, natural
palette from which to decorate around it. Many manufacturers
available online have several affordable options to help you in
that area.
On the other hand, you may prefer the old Victorian and
Edwardian style furnishings that commanded a room, with large
pieces filling rooms to the brim and making known their
presence, demanding attention. A four poster canopy bed may be
the treat for you, filling the space and adding a little
something more, with the option of draping a canopy in any color
to add some privacy and to blend it in with other extravagant
décor, such as throw rugs, pillows, and window dressings.
Even small changes to your bedroom can make a big difference.
Many people have wood bedroom sets already. By shopping for a
new Headboard, you'll find options that are less expensive that
can totally change the look of the room. You can purchase
upholstered headboards, which are colorful, some in print
designs to give nourishment to the creative thoughts that may
already be rooting into your mind. These will work just fine
with your wooden sets and will still liven up an old design so
you can get a good night's sleep in a room that brings you
comfort.
Hillsdale Furniture is one of the many companies that has a
wide range of bedroom furniture collections to cater to every
customers lifestyle. From laid back to elegant, contemporary to
classic, they have an extensive line of bedroom fixtures to fit
your personality. A few improvements in your bedroom alone will
change your outlook. Whether you are ready to start over with a
whole new design or simply make a few changes that will make
your room more comfortable and relaxing, just by making the
creation of a peaceful environment your focus, you will be on
your way to having a personal retreat in your bedroom.

My sleep has improved so much it's incredible
Many people who find that they have trouble sleeping spend
a lot of time wondering what their problems might be. The
truth is that there are a lot of things that can keep a
person from falling asleep. If you were wondering what
causes sleep problems, then read on. Here are a few of the
reasons you might be having trouble sleeping.
Stress: Oh that stress. It causes so many problems. Stress
keeps our body from functioning normally in many areas, not
just our brains at bedtime. The truth of the matter is,
however, that stress is the number one reason that people
have sleep problems. A typical scenario involves a person
who has been having a bad day. Things just go wrong one
after the other and before this man knows it, it is time to
go to bed. He crawls under his covers, turns off his light
and lays there. He is waiting to fall asleep but instead,
he starts replaying the day in his head. Before he knows
what is happening, he has wound himself up over a
conversation that he finished six hours earlier. Suddenly
his adrenaline is pumping and his brain is racing-because
he couldn't let go of his stress.
Illness: Doctors always tell us to get as much rest and
sleep as we can when we are ill. Unfortunately for most of
us, the common cold and flu wreak havoc on our bodies and
keep us from sleeping at all. For one thing, most of us
can't breathe very well when we are sick and sleeping
depends on the body's ability to breathe. We as a society
have also become very dependent on over the counter cold
medications and often these medications have ingredients
that are meant to stimulate us so we can get through our
days, not to relax us so that we can sleep.
Environment: Our environment can also be a source of sleep
problems. When we talk about environment, however, we
aren't necessarily talking about bigger issues like global
warming. We are talking about small issues like the
temperature of our bedroom or how much noise is filtering
through the walls. It is rare to find a perfectly silent
room to sleep in and not everybody can sleep in perfect
silence. The key to falling asleep is to be comfortable,
but most of us get too caught up in what our bedrooms
should be that we forget about what they need to be.
Finding out what causes sleep problems can be a complicated
process. Often it boils down to one of the three
aforementioned categories, but sleep problems can really be
caused by just about anything. Sleep problems are usually a
symptom of something else being wrong, not the actual
problem itself. If you can't fall asleep but you aren't
sure what causes sleep problems, you might want to call
your doctor and together the two of you can figure out what
needs the most attention.
