• What is sleep apnea?.
• People with sleep apnea stop breathing for 10 to 30 seconds at a time while they are sleeping. These short stops in breathing can happen up to 400 times every night! If you have sleep apnea, the periods of not breathing may make you wake up from deep sleep. If you are waking up all night long, you aren't getting enough rest from your sleep. ...

Schmidt-Nowara has served as both president of the American Board of Sleep Medicine and as president of the American Sleep Disorders Association. ...
• The relative success of oral appliance therapy may be affected by some sleep medications, which relax the airway muscles and/or reduce respiratory drive, according to Mary Susan Esther, MD, medical director of Carolinas Sleep Services in Charlotte, N. ...
• Esther also mentioned in her presentation titled, "Sleep Medication and their Effect on Oral Appliance Therapy," that most anti-depressants suppress REM sleep (during which apneas tend to be higher). However, the effects of estrogen-containing drugs, melatonin and sedative drugs on sleep physiology are more varied. ...
• Another factor that may influence the effectiveness of oral appliance therapy is sleep posture. Without attention to the sleep position or posture, one could easily mistakenly assess treatment as falsely ineffective based on changes in the apnea-hypopnea index, said Kazuya Yoshida, DDS, PhD, a research fellow in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Japan. Apnea and hypopneas are influenced strongly by sleep posture, and this factor should be assessed in all sleep studies, according to his research. ...

• Parasomnias: managing bizarre sleep-related disorders. ...
• Parasomnias are undesirable physical phenomena accompanying sleep that involve skeletal muscle activity or autonomic nervous system changes, or both (1). In persons with these disorders, sleep and wakefulness are not mutually exclusive, because dissociated elements of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, non-REM sleep, and wakefulness can become admixed or rapidly oscillate to produce abnormal nocturnal twilight states with behavioral dyscontrol. Diagnosis is made on the basis of findings from the clinical interview and polysomnography (ie, physiologic monitoring of sleep). ...
• Parasomnias can cause sleep-related injuries and promote psychological distress from repeated loss of self-control during sleep. ...
• Parasomnias can be classified according to whether the signs or symptoms are (1) primary phenomena of sleep itself or (2) secondary phenomena derived from various underlying disorders, with sleep facilitating such nocturnal manifestations as headaches, seizures, asthma, arrhythmias, and gastroesophageal reflux. The focus of this article is sleepwalking, sleep terrors, REM sleep behavior disorder, nocturnal sleep-related eating disorders, nocturnal dissociative disorders, restless legs syndrome, and the interactions of parasomnias with obstructive sleep apnea and its therapy. ...
• Depending on their training, experience, and confidence level, primary care physicians may initiate pharmacotherapy in patients with restless legs syndrome or other noninjurious parasomnias and consider requesting a sleep medicine consultation. Other conditions may warrant referral to a sleep specialist for more complete evaluation. ...

• Clinical Applications of Melatonin in Sleep Medicine .
• by Rod J Hughes, Instructor of Medicine.
• Since its discovery, the pineal hormone melatonin has been shown to have consistent sleep-promoting effects when ingested throughout the diurnal day. ... In individuals on normal sleep-wake schedules, melatonin levels begin to rise approximately two hours prior to sleep, remain elevated throughout the night, and begin to decline prior to the termination of sleep. Research studies have documented a strong association between the time course of endogenous melatonin production and sleep propensity (3), suggesting that endogenous melatonin may mediate sleep. ...
• Melatonin and Sleep.
• Melatonin can also facilitate the initiation of sleep, even at doses that produce plasma levels equivalent to nighttime levels. Although small doses of melatonin can induce sleep, doses that elevate melatonin levels throughout the entire sleep opportunity are required to improve total sleep time and sleep consolidation in longer duration sleep episodes (4). ...
• Preliminary evidence suggests that melatonin may be useful for treating individuals with sleep-schedule and circadian sleep disorders. Melatonin improves symptoms of insomnia in blind and sighted individuals with non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome. Evening melatonin administration can advance sleep and wake times of individuals with delayed-sleep-phase syndrome. ... It is unclear if successful treatment of these circadian sleep disorders is due to sleep-promoting effects or to chronobiotic effects. Treatment protocols designed to optimize melatonin's sleep-promoting effects, with low to moderate doses taken 2 hours to 30 minutes before desired bedtime, appear to be most successful. ...
• Evidence that endogenous melatonin is strongly associated with sleep, coupled with reports that endogenous melatonin levels may decline with age, have led some to suggest that the age-dependent increase in the prevalence of insomnia may be a result of low melatonin production. Thus, the sleep of melatonin deficient older individuals may be improved by the administration of exogenous melatonin. ...

• This sleep state is called non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. After about an hour and a half of NREM sleep, the brain waves begin to show a more active pattern again, even though the person is in deep sleep. This sleep state, called rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, is when dreaming occurs. ...
• In narcolepsy, the order and length of NREM and REM sleep periods are disturbed, with REM sleep occurring at sleep onset instead of after a period of NREM sleep. Thus, narcolepsy is a disorder in which REM sleep appears at an abnormal time. Also, some of the aspects of REM sleep that normally occur only during sleep--lack of muscle tone, sleep paralysis, and vivid dreams--occur at other times in people with narcolepsy. ...
