POPSDon't Do Like Steven - Get Some Help I think a lot of people feel like Steven - they don't see a sleep disorder as something they can/need to get help with. It just becomes a way of life. As someone who suffers from both sleep onset and sleep maintenance insomnia, I can say you need to make changes and get some help. I've found Ambien works well for those bad nights, but herbal substances (i.e. melatonin) can be very helpful as well. The tips provided in this article are great also - I've done them and they've definitely helped. One of the biggest things for me to realize, is that this is a chronic condition, not something that a pill will "cure." You need to make lifestyle changes and manage it regularly to get real results. Your doctor can help - use it!

POPSInternet Addiction A Mental Illness? Yet more psychiatrists with way too much time on their hands have identified another area of relaxation for busy, stressed out people that is being classified as illness. If it is clean, fun and relatively innocuous, it is a mental illness. If something is disgusting, offensive and violates the laws of nature....it is normal. Such is the world we live in.

POPSGreen tea may help snorers sleep easy One of my biggest problems is that my dog Lani snores. She doesn't like tea. I like green tea with Jasmine. I'm going to make a cup when I've posted this. It's that time of day. The chemicals in green tea may protect the snorers from damage caused by free radicals that are in excess as a result of sleep apnoea, but they still can't help anyone who is listening. These catechin polyphenols help sufferers, and no doubt victims of oxygen deprivation. A compound using them as an active ingredient may also be used as part of the first aid kits that assist CPR, in drowning and heart attack victims. I don't know if that's on the agenda, but the quicker an overload of free radicals can be neutralized, the better. It may in many cases reduce some of the serious brain damage in survivors. (You'd have to check that with a pharmacologist)

POPSOestrogen may help treat shizophrenia I wonder sometimes if there are more than a few conditions with similar symptoms all tagged bipolar or schizophrenia. There are symptoms observed by the treating doctor, which can be qualified by an interview with the patient who is generally not in a state to give an objective description. Often the questions can be suggestive, and the answers can depend on whether the patient is prepared to co-operate, or be contrary. This study does point to an imbalance that can occur as a matter of course, and may show that many cases of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, are not necessarily unusual, hereditary or chronic but can strike due to something as simple as an unbalanced diet, sleep deprivation, or a hormone deficiency. An unbalanced lifestyle can throw our minds off balance. It's all part of the same unit. Mind Body and soul

POPSThe Early Bird Gets The Bad Grade "Indeed, no one does well when they’re sleep-deprived, but insufficient sleep among children has been linked to obesity and to learning issues like attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. You’d think this would spur educators to take action, and a handful have."
