What Is Sleepwalking?

Image
Have you ever found yourself traipsing through the house in the middle of the night, with no memory of what you were doing or how you got there? It is possible you may have been one of the millions of people around the world partial to sleepwalking. A very common condition, but how much do we know about it? Sleepwalking, often otherwise referred to as noctambulism or somnambulism is a type of sleep disorder from the parasomnia family. A state where a person carries out tasks while being asleep and not completely awake at the same time. If you are among the scores of people in the UK who sleepwalk, it usually takes place during deep sleep, while experiencing low consciousness. Generally, you will sleepwalk through the slow-wave sleep stage of non-rapid eye movement sleep, also known as NREM. You will reach your peak at the beginning of the night, where you may start sleepwalking in the first few hours after falling asleep. This is when you can perform everyday activi...

Does Napping During The Day Decrease Your Chances Of Heart Attacks Or Stroke?

Image
How many times have you taken time out during the day for siesta? Have you ever stolen a few moments and caught some zees, only to feel bad about it as if you were breaking the rules? Well, it turns out not only have you done nothing wrong, but it may actually be good for you. This comes after an international study states if you have one or two naps in the daytime a week, it can reduce your possibility of having a heart attack or stroke or suffering heart failure, in comparison with those who do not nap. People have debated for years the association between cardiovascular health and napping during the day. Some research in the past seems to have noted a decreased possibility of coronary heart disease for people who nap in the daytime, while, on the other hand, different studies have concluded daytime nappers have a greater possibility of suffering a cardiovascular or cardiac event. Therefore, a study in Switzerland set out to investigate this apparent discrepancy and settle t...

New Research Links Dementia With Poor Sleep

Image
For many years scientists have wondered if there is a connection between sleep and dementia, and now researchers at the University of East Anglia have set up a special sleep unit to explore the possibility. There are over three quarter of a million people living with dementia in the United Kingdom and that figure is set to rise by over a million in six years. It is not uncommon for people suffering from dementia to experience disturbed sleep. However, scientists at UAE’s School of Health Sciences are working to discover if Alzheimer’s may bring on restless sleep or, on the other hand, if insomnia is an early sign of the condition. Initially, the sleep unit will explore if healthy individuals with a greater risk of Alzheimer’s may be more prone to disrupted sleep and how it impacts their body clock. Experts believe poor sleeping habits may be an indicator of Alzheimer’s as well as other brain disorders. All in all, you need a restful sleep for good overall brain health, a...

Millions Live With Restless Leg Syndrome Every Year

Image
It is a condition affecting millions of people around the world, causing an almost uncontrollable desire to move one’s legs, usually at night-time. The condition of the nervous system is sometimes referred to as Willis-Ekbom disease, but it is more commonly known as Restless legs syndrome. Those living with the ailment experience a disagreeable creeping or crawling feeling in their thighs, calves and feet, as well as the arms sometimes. It can be felt during the day, but it is especially intense in the evening and at night-time. The condition is linked to the spontaneous, involuntary jolting of the arms and legs, referred to as PLMS or periodic limb movements in sleep. Many show the signs of restless legs syndrome at regular intervals, every now and again, while others feel the symptoms daily, ranging from the minor to the severe. However, when it comes to finding the cause of restless legs syndrome, it may not be obviously apparent. In most cases, the condition referred to ...
