I have flown from India to America and am now facing sleep disorders.

Thankfully my digestion is ok although my times for passing stools is changed.

Is there any suggestions to bring my Body clock to the new timezone? I will be staying here for more than a month!

Dave asked:


I take Benadryl every night, 50mgs and also 5 or 10mg of Ambien every other night along with the Benadryl. Sometimes Xanax, but rarely.

Well guys, It kinda all started out in like 2006. My body was always shaking, I was thinking it was just normal puberty or something like that. But then it got kinda bad.

You see, when I went to sleep at school [Don't worry, they allowed us to, test day] I was like asleep for 10 mins. but then my body just shot up, my arms and legs shooting crazy. For no reason.

I could still go to sleep, get the regular needed hours of sleep, and wake up the next day with energy, but ever since School ended, I have been having problems with going to sleep!

Now, I don’t know why my legs are always going up and down crazy, which is one of the sympons. But uh. Do I have restless leg syndrome, or anxiety, or hormones/puberty?

Note: I never really exercise, everyday of my life I sit at the computer, could that be the reason?

It also kinda got to the rest of my body, my head always twitches, and my arms always flare around.

The ONLY time this restless leg syndrome doesn’t hit me is when I’m using the computer.

Narcolepsy is known to most as being a disorder of excessive daytime sleepiness. In addition, other the four main symptoms of narcolepsy are: sleep paralysis, cataplexy, and automatic behavior and hypnologic hallucinations. Though these symptoms of narcolepsy may not all be present, they are the most typical. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder.

How exactly can the symptoms of narcolepsy(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Narcolepsy.html) mentioned above be recognized? Sleep paralysis is a symptom whereby a person finds him/herself unable to move or talk upon waking. The paralysis can be temporary, lasting only a few minutes, but can also last much longer. Cataplexy refers to a symptom of narcolepsy in which a person loses muscle function. This symptom can be quite frightening, and may range from mild to severe in nature. If mild, it may manifest as a feeling of weakness or limpness; but if severe, may mean facial paralysis, loss of ability to speak, or even a full body collapse. Many different kinds of emotions or reactions-fear, shock, anger, even laughter- can trigger this symptom. Automatic behavior, another main symptom of narcolepsy, refers to when a person who is asleep performs actions which he/she has no memory of upon waking. This symptom of narcolepsy can have dangerous implications. Finally, another main symptom of narcolepsy is known as hypnologic hallucination. With this symptoms, a patient has very frightening and real dreams just as he/she is dozing off.

The classic and most well-known characteristic symptom of narcolepsy is excessive daytime sleepiness. Though the symptoms outlined here are the most common symptoms of narcolepsy, they may not all be present in all sufferers. In fact, only a quarter of all narcolepsy sufferers experience all of the common symptoms of narcolepsy.

Do natural remedies exist that can cure or alleviate the symptoms of narcolepsy? To counteract the drowsiness experienced during the day by narcolepsy patients, physicians will usually prescribe drugs such as methamphetamine, methylphenidate, pemoline and dextroamphetamine. These drugs are indeed effective in reducing drowsiness and making patients more alert throughout the day. However, the side effects of such drugs for narcolepsy treatment(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Narcolepsy.html) are serious and potentially harmful. These side effects include shakiness, nervousness, upset stomach, and anorexia. Therefore, alternative, natural treatment of narcolepsy(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Narcolepsy.html) might be the right choice when looking to alleviate the symptoms of narcolepsy.

Luckily, there are actions you can take and natural remedies you can try that do cause side effects. Meditation and relaxation techniques have proven effective against symptoms of narcolepsy. Natural substances thought to be effective are lecithin, flaxseed oil, and cayenne powder.Currently, natural remedies and solutions for easing the symptoms of narcolepsy are being sought, as taking drugs with dangerous side effects is not ideal.

Do you use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea? If so, how long have you used it? Did you notice an immediate improvement, or did it take a while?

Was it hard to get used to using the machine?

I know insomniacs have a hard time sleeping, but humans can’t stay awake for too long before experiencing serious health problems or even death. How many hours of sleep do they get?

luvlandon2006 asked:


My 7 month old son tosses and turns from 4 am to 6 am, when we finally decide won’t be going back to sleep. He wimpers and flexes his legs and constantly tries to push his feet against something. I used to think it was gas, but now that he’s older and we’ve regulated his diet, I believe there is something bothering his leg muscles. When I try to comfort him by massaging his legs, I can feel little tightenings behind his knees when he is lying still, like muscle spasms. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to help him? We are both exausted in the mornings from trying to remain asleep through his pain, and I feel so bad for him.
Actually there is infant RLS, but I just wanted to know if anyone had delt with it before. Of course, I wouldn’t medicate him or anything like that. And if I don’t rub his legs, he won’t sleep at all during that time!
