Alberta INSOMNIA

*******************

Insomnia - Insomnia can be caused by:

* Psychoactive drugs or stimulants, including certain medications, herbs, caffeine, cocaine, ephedrine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, MDMA, methamphetamine and modafinil
* Hormone shifts such as those that precede menstruation and those during menopause
* Life problems like fear, stress, anxiety, emotional or mental tension, work problems, financial stress, unsatisfactory sex life
* Mental disorders such as clinical depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, general anxiety disorder
* Disturbances of the circadian rhythm, such as shift work and jet lag, can cause an inability to sleep at some times of the day and excessive sleepiness at other times of the day. Jet lag is seen in
people who travel through multiple time zones, as the time relative to the rising and setting of the sun no longer coincides with the body's internal concept of it. The insomnia experienced by shift workers is also a circadian rhythm sleep disorder.
* Certain neurological disorders, brain lesions, or a history of traumatic brain injury
* Medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism and Wilson's syndrome
* Abuse of over-the counter or prescription sleep aids can produce rebound insomnia
* Poor sleep hygiene
* Parasomnia, which includes a number of disruptive sleep events including nightmares, sleepwalking, violent behavior while sleeping, and REM behavior disorder, in which a person moves his/her physical body in response to events within his/her dreams
* The full moon lunar phase
* A rare genetic condition can cause a prion-based, permanent and eventually fatal form of insomnia called fatal familial insomnia

People suffering from insomnia should try to tackle the problem and avoid taking sleeping tablets if possible, according to the latest Treatment Notes, published by Which? today.

Up to one in seven adults regularly suffers from insomnia and many rely on hypnotic drugs as a solution. The Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin information advises that sleeping tablets do not work well in the long run and can cause problems, including next-day hangover effects and dependence.

Snoring solutions

In a survey by the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association, 54% of people have had their holidays adversely affected by snoring and 20% have been banished to the bathroom because of the noise.

It is not only an embarrassment for sufferers but a test of endurance for family and friends.

What is snoring?

Snoring affects around 3.5 million people in the UK. It is an anatomy problem involving the soft tissue at the back of the throat and causes the emission of sound from the airway during sleep.

What causes snoring?

Snoring occurs when the soft palate tissue at the back of the throat relaxes too much, obstructing the entrance to the throat. As air tries to pass through, the soft palate vibrates and produces the snoring sound.

The problem may get worse with age but one of the main causes is size and body shape. People with short wide necks are most prone to snoring because the muscles around their windpipe can't support the fat around it when the person is asleep. As a general rule, anyone with a collar size of 16.5 inches or more is likely to snore.
