Much needed info! Medications often exacerbate the problems they are meant to cure. And then when physicians are ignorant of what is happening the patient is subjected to even more suffering and frustration. Thanks for this excellent presentation.
love that wrap up. there is nothing wrong w trying and not quite getting it as long as you come back and try to do better. it is a point i have made several times either in interviews or op eds about the dave chapelle special the closer. lets not beat him up but rather extend a hand and offer to help him get it right next time. unfortunately he has not chisen the same road as the Bob’a writers
Sleep and mental health are closely intertwined. Lack of sleep can lead to increased feelings of anxiety, depression, and irritability, while getting enough quality sleep can improve mood and overall mental well-being.
Interesting discussion but would be interested if he covered biphasic or polyphasic sleep. It seems most of what was discussed is based on a monophasic sleep schedule. There is some data that biphasic sleep schedules were more common throughout history and wonder the effects or correlations exist in individuals that follow other sleep patterns.
I suffer from insomnia my whole life 😢 it has made me very isolated. I am hypersensitive to light and sound. For many years i have used flurazepam 30 mg and for ten years i have Lorazepam 4mg. Sometimes i dont swallow pills but then i am awake all night. Sorry for complaining.Going to take two tablets Lorazepam trying to get some sleep. My granddaughter is 2 years and i going to her birthday . Also i walk with my dogs and reading my glasses😅
I have a slight nitpick about the camera work: at ~23:00-24:00 the actigraph is displayed before he's given an explanation of it; but then when he _is_ giving an explanation of it, the camera is (not all that helpfully) focusing on him rather than on the graph. (Yes yes, this is the internet, and rewinding has never been easier...)
Gresham has traditionally been rather bad with making sure all the slides are easy to read in the video recordings. It could be worse, a lot of the 5 year+ old lectures don't even show most of the slides at all.
I disagree. The term 'sleep hygiene' makes perfect sense. After you eliminate you use toilet paper and flush. Basic hygiene children must learn. When you take a shower you do certain things to get clean. Washing clothes and bedding. Hygiene and sleep may have been improperly taught or needs to be expanded when someone is suffering from sleep issues. It was revolutionary the first time I learned about sleep hygiene, the doctors and therapists when through a list and talked about medication. Hygiene gave me specific things I could do to increase natural sleep that no one else told me. If you don't like the term, fine. I happen to think it gets right to the point. Sleeping better can be rather logical and it can work.
