Insomnia with Sleep Apnea: A New Syndrome

Abstract: A new clinical syndrome, sleep apnea associated with insomnia, has been characterized. Repeated episodes of apnea occur during sleep. Onset of respiration is associated with general arousal and often complete awakening, with a resultant loss of sleep. An important clinical implication is that patients complaining only of insomnia may be suffering from this syndrome.

Sleep and activity in a psychotic depression.

Abstract: The longitudinal sleep electroencephalogram and 24-hour telemetric activity measurements are reported on a patient with a psychotic depression. During the patient's spontaneous partial remission, the sleep patterns showed a marked rapid eye movement recovery, along with other changes in the various sleep parameters. Telemetric activity measurements appeared to mirror certain of the sleep changes so that periods of “hypersomnia” were associated with reduction of activity levels while the periods of insomnia were associated with a marked increase.

Aspects of the Relationship between Sleep, Weight and Mood

Abstract: The present study reports a relationship between altered nutritional state and sleep disturbance, usually in the second part of the night, in 375 consecutive new referrals to a psychiatric outpatient

First Cycle of Sleep in Normal Children

Abstract: movements were predominant in the lower limbs at this CA [DreyfusBrisac, 1970]. We could not detect a direct association between SPR and some vegetative phenomena such as variations of cardiac rate and apnea, nor with feeding. The apneas during periodic respiration are a physiological phenomenon of this age; they do not seem to generate sensory afferents able to evoke SPR, neither when breathing stops, nor when it restarts. Nor does feeding produce such significant afferents.

Therapy of sleep disorders

Abstract: When you’re desperate for sleep, it can be tempting to reach for a sleeping pill or an overthe-counter sleep aid. But sleep medication won’t cure the problem or address the underlying symptoms—in fact, it can often make sleep problems worse in the long term. That’s not to say there’s never a time or a place for sleep medication. To avoid dependence and tolerance, though, sleeping pills are most effective when used sparingly for short-term situations—such as traveling across time zones or recovering from a medical procedure. Even if your sleep disorder requires the use of prescription medication, experts recommend combining a drug regimen with therapy and healthy lifestyle changes.
