- Sleep Disorder .
- The radio has been full of people going on about sleep & saying that we don't get enough and we all ought to go to bed earlier. ...
- Actually I'm still tired on those days because it takes more than one day to get back to a natural sleep cycle. ...
- I know what my natural sleep pattern is - every now and them I have no routine for a few days & I can allow my body to do what it needs to do. ... If I naturally wake up at 9 on Monday it will be 10 on Tuesday & 11 on Wednesday and so on, going to bed later each morning as well, until either I get right round the clock (takes over a fortnight & I have only done it once in my life because who has the time?) or else I have had a surfeit of sleep & I stay up all night one night, then go to bed early the next day. Say I have got into waking at 2 or later in the afternoon so my "afternoon nap" now falls at going on midnight - well I just turn that into a night's sleep & get up at 8 or 9 in the morning again. ...
- 3 months in hospital because I couldn;t sleep because I was sent to bed too early every day because I was tired in the morning. ...
- And the sleep muscle paralysis sets in so I can't even lift my hands to pretend to type on my keyboard and I'm sitting there, staring at the screen, trying to make sense of it, fugeing in and out between real sleep with its short term memory loss and that state half way between sleeping and waking where you know where you are and what you are hearing and seeing but you can't move or talk and sometimes dreams come in on the edges of perception and the place you are in is overlaid with a place in your mind like 2 films superimposed on each other - it's weird because if someone comes to talk to me, I snap out of it instantly & sometimes they can't even tell I'm asleep, even if the 'phone rings I can pick it up but it is almost impossible to move under my own volition, with no external stimulus. And you feel unpleasantly cold, even on hot days, and then you sweat and feel hot, And there is often completely inappropriate sexual arousal - the same as the so-called "piss hard-on" most men get in the morning which is nothing to do with urination but a side-effect of this near-sleep state. ...
- Most days, if I get enough sleep in the night, I would wake up after about 20 to 40 minutes and feel fine. If I hadn't had enough sleep in the night, I might sleep an entire sleep cycle, 3-4 hours. But that's alright because that time is taken off the time you need to sleep the next night. ...
- Anyway, I'd never sleep at 10 or 11. ...
- It's not the number of hours you need to sleep in a day, it's the cycles. ...
- But it also denies such simple biological needs as sleep. ...

- Obstructive sleep apnea, OSA, is a breathing related sleep disorder which can cause people to snore, as well as pose serious health threats. OSA is a condition that occurs when a person regularly stops breathing (apnea) for 10 seconds or longer during sleep. It is usually caused by either the tongue or the soft palate falling back against the back of the throat when the muscles in the neck and throat relax during sleep. ...
- Sleep apnea episodes can happen from 5 to 50 times an hour, and sometimes breathing stops hundreds of times each night. Additionally, from the interrupted loss of sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness can occur. This may put a person experiencing obstructive sleep apnea symptoms at even greater risk by causing them to fall asleep while driving or working. ...
- A sleep study is the only way to positively diagnose sleep apnea. Once diagnosed, there are several types of sleep apnea aids and treatment that can offer patients a clear and open airway during sleep. For some people, developing good sleeping habits, losing weight, and avoiding sleep medications and alcohol may cure the sleep apnea syndrome. Other people may need to use a breathing device or oral appliance that prevents the airway from closing during sleep. Beyond surgery, an oral mechanical appliance is the most common prevention and relief for sleep apnea. ...

- Sleep apnea can interrupt sleep with breathing lapses up to a minute long, cause irregular heartbeats, depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, daytime drowsiness, and unexplained changes in behavior. Victims of sleep apnea are typically overweight males whose snoring is often loud enough to disrupt their spouse's sleep.
- Martin, Director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Denver's National Jewish Medical and Research Center, sleep apnea victims may stop breathing up to several hundred times a night, interrupting restful sleep with potentially catastrophic consequences.
- Martin said the diagnosis of sleep apnea is relatively easy in a sleep laboratory, but only about half the people with apnea are aware they have it. "It's the families of those with sleep apnea who really provide the physician with the patient's sleep history," he said.
- In his research at the National Jewish sleep laboratories, Martin has found that simple weight loss can help relieve sleep apnea in certain individuals. ...
- Conversely, eliminating sleep apnea can help some people lose weight.
