Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that causes the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. People with narcolepsy experience disturbed nocturnal sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. They often fall asleep quickly upon entering REM sleep. One symptom is cataplexy, a sudden muscular weakness brought on by strong emotions. Narcolepsy is not caused by psychological problems but is likely due to genetic and environmental factors that affect biologic functions in the brain.
This document discusses insomnia and normal sleep patterns. It provides details on:
1) The stages of the normal sleep cycle and how sleep needs change throughout life from childhood to older age.
2) Insomnia as a common sleep disorder defined by difficulties initiating or maintaining sleep that impairs daytime functioning.
3) Factors that can cause insomnia like medical conditions, medications, and psychiatric disorders.
4) Treatments for insomnia including sleeping pills, cognitive behavioral therapy, sleep restriction, stimulus control, and improving sleep hygiene.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep. There are different types of insomnia including acute, chronic, comorbid, onset, and maintenance insomnia. Insomnia can be caused by stress, poor sleep habits, lifestyle factors, mental health conditions, physical health conditions, and certain medications. Effects of insomnia include lower performance, higher risk of accidents, psychiatric problems, health issues, and substance abuse. Treatment may include improving sleep habits and lifestyle changes for mild insomnia or prescription sleeping pills for more severe insomnia.

This document summarizes the management of pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS). It discusses non-pharmacological interventions like patient education, lifestyle modifications, exercise, and dietary changes. It also discusses various dietary supplements that can be used, including vitamins B6, E, calcium, magnesium, and evening primrose oil. Pharmacological treatments discussed include anti-depressants, hormonal therapies like GnRH agonists, and surgery for severe cases. The document provides an overview of approaches to managing PMS symptoms.
The document discusses sleep, sleep deprivation, and the effects of sleep deprivation. It notes that normal sleep involves alternating periods of REM and non-REM sleep in 90 minute cycles. REM sleep is important for learning, memory consolidation, and brain regulation, while non-REM sleep is related to hormone release and lowering of physiological parameters. Sleep deprivation can be acute (lasting 1-2 days) or chronic, and occurs when total sleep time is reduced or inadequate. Insufficient sleep negatively impacts mood, performance, attention, memory, and health. Chronic sleep restriction has cumulative cognitive effects greater than or equal to total sleep deprivation. Recovery from sleep loss takes longer than a single night of normal sleep.
This document provides an overview of the assessment and management of insomnia. It discusses evaluating insomnia through sleep history, sleep diaries, polysomnography and assessing daytime sleepiness. It covers differentiating insomnia from other sleep disorders and identifying predisposing, precipitating and perpetuating factors. Management techniques discussed include sleep hygiene, relaxation therapy, sleep scheduling, cognitive therapy and sleep medications. Specific instructions are provided for implementing relaxation exercises, sleep scheduling and cognitive approaches like challenging dysfunctional beliefs. The risks and benefits of different medication classes are also summarized.

Insomnia is a sleep disorder where people have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep for a long period. There are two types - primary insomnia which is not associated with any health conditions, and secondary insomnia which is caused by other factors like stress, mental health issues, medications, or medical conditions. Insomnia can negatively impact people's daily functioning and is linked to higher risks of other health problems if left untreated.
Risperidone is an antipsychotic medication developed in the 1980s-1990s and approved by the FDA in 1994. It is on the WHO's list of essential medicines. Risperidone is effective at decreasing hallucinations and delusions in psychotic patients, allowing them to function better. It is available in tablet, liquid, and injectable forms. Risperidone is metabolized in the liver and has an oral bioavailability of 70%. Common side effects include extrapyramidal symptoms, weight gain, and hyperprolactinemia. It is indicated for schizophrenia, bipolar mania, autism-related irritability, and other off-label uses, though has black box
