Sleeping disorders

Sleep and Sleep Disorders in the Older Adult There are four main reasons why we sleep. The first is for cardiovascular relaxation which lower blood pressure, lowers heart rate, and lowers metabolic rate. The second reason is for mental and physical restorative properties. Lack of sleep will then manifest itself with physical and cognitive side effects such as fatigue, difficulty focusing, slower response times, memory problems, decreased balance, and decreased ability to perform tasks.

Common Sleep Disorders Sleep apnea is common in most people. It may briefly stop your breathing since there is blockage in the upper airways. This may cause pauses in breathing throughout the night and interrupt your sleep, leaving you waking up each hour. Often times people with these issues do not remember waking up each hour and feel exhausted during the day.(Smith) The most common sleeping disorder is Insomnia. Insomnia is a condition where you are unable to wake up feeling rested and refreshed

research question is: What can families do to help a family member with a sleeping disorder? I became interested in learning about sleeping disorders about two years ago when my step father was diagnosed with a sleeping disorder (sleep apnea). I wanted to know more about what exactly a sleeping disorder was and treatments a person needed to care for a sleeping disorder. Before we discovered my step-father had a sleeping disorder we noticed he slept all day struggled staying awake. Some days he would

I have always had problems sleeping due to trauma and have struggled for years to help myself control my insomnia and not let it control me. Sometimes it would come in handy and I could use it to my advantage but most of the time it just ruined me, my attitude, my focus, and my ability to cope. Naps were out of the question, I would literally have to stay awake until my body and mind gave out, something had to give eventually. No matter what I did, how much I exercised, what I ate, how much caffeine

specific sleeping disorders. Medication use for sleep was not an exclusion criteria. Of the participants, 239 were eligible for randomization; 119 were assigned to the CBTI group, and 120 were assigned to the TAU group. The participants in the TAU group were more likely to be female, not White, and unemployed than the participants in the CBTI group.

Rape in Sleeping Beauty Variants When thinking of fairy tales, the first thing that comes to mind is not rape, consent, or sex. However, most fairy tales contain some aspect that alludes to sex or sexual activities, especially the fairy tales that are not targeting children. It is important to note the definition of rape because although there is one set meaning behind the term rape, rape is different depending on the person asked. A perfect example of a fairy tale in which rape is prevalent is

I previously referenced my relationship to the mythical character Rapunzel as I believe she is a prime example of The Damsel archetype. The most popular adaptation of Rapunzel was by the Brothers Grimm in their Children’s and Household Tales folklore book. The story of Rapunzel begins with her father who steals a rampion from the garden of an enchantress. To atone for his sin, the enchantress seizes infant Rapunzel from her parents. She raises the child as her own in a secluded tower without stairs

Once upon a time in a land not so far away, the society of man created the idea that it was a woman’s job to conform to the ideologies generated in fairy tales. From women depending on their prince charmings all the way to romanticized sexual abuse and lack of consent, stories like Cinderella and Snow White radiate sexism within an array of scenes of the stories and films.

ran away from her problem that she capable of handling if she just stood her grown. As the years progressed, Disney has culminated the picture of the damsels in distress, anticipating salvation from their Prince Charming. An example of this is in Sleeping Beauty, where the young, beautiful, and vulnerable girl, can only recover her senses after a kiss from a fearless prince. The tale of Snow White is the same, yet with an apple instead of a needle. Yes, most the greater part of the heroes submissively
