Alternative Approaches Used by People to Induce Sleep: Insights from a Social Media Survey | Chapter 6 | Disease and Health: Research Developments Vol. 3

Inadequate sleep has a negative association with general health and well-being. Sleep is essential for adequate immune, metabolic, and endocrine functioning and may have an association with the healing of some illnesses. Sleep medicine has been considered a worldwide perspective to investigate and treat sleep disturbances and disorders. Large-scale epidemiological studies along with World Health Organization-sponsored studies using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health System, have categorized patient complaints about their sleep. The aim of the study was to identify some of the sleep onset practices which may or may not include a treatment for sleep onset. The severity and treatment needs of sleep disorders have been underscored. The current study was designed as a survey investigation of an aspect of a common patient sleep complaint—difficulty falling asleep. A social media approach was used to capture the comments about sleep from individuals responding to a Facebook questionnaire. The questionnaire was in English and Portuguese (per the second author). The individual responses were from 12 countries/6 continents. Sleep disturbances were reported to range from 2 to 18 months: initiating sleep difficulty 16 months history on average, Disrupted sleep at an eleven-month length on average, Sleep maintenance at a fifteen-month length on average and non-restorative sleep at an eighteen-month length on average.  Modal responses in terms of alternative medicine use and daytime practices to promote sleep are represented.

Chronobiology: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Biological Clock | Book Publisher International

"Chronobiology: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Biological Clock" delves into the intricate workings of the biological clock, exploring its profound influence on various aspects of human physiology, behavior, and health. This comprehensive guide offers a multifaceted exploration of chronobiology, encompassing its historical roots, contemporary research findings, and practical applications. From elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms to examining the role of chronobiology in sleep disorders, mood regulation, and metabolic health, this book provides invaluable insights into the fundamental principles governing our internal timekeeping systems. Through a blend of scientific rigor and accessible language, readers will gain a deeper understanding of how our biological clocks shape our daily lives and impact overall well-being.

Sleep Disturbances Linked to Kidney Function Decline| Chapter 1 | Perspective of Recent Advances in Medical Research Vol. 3

 This episode aims to describe the predominance and risk factors of Sleep disorders (SDs) among never-ending hemodialysis patients in the Nephrology and Dialysis Department of the Rabat Military Hospital, Morocco. All hemodialysis inmates in the nephrology division of the Rabat Military Hospital were enrolled in the trial, that was designed as a potential single-center study. We judged four SDs—insomnia, sleep apnea, anxious legs condition, and excessive sunshine sleepiness—for each patient. All the 52 chronic hemodialysis subjects were recruited for this study. Multivariate logistic reversion was performed to determine the traits connected to differing SDs in 40 individuals accompanying a prevalence of insomnia and sleep interruption of activity syndrome (SAS). Anemia, overdone daytime torpor, and irritability were all associated with restlessness; whereas, SAS was guide age ≥50 years, obesity, and overdone daytime torpor. Restless legs disease was linked to advanced age, overdone daytime torpor, and the presence of a organic inflammatory syndrome. Sleep disorders have a important impact on the characteristic of life of dialysis subjects, so it is critical to expect them and, more basically, identify the associated determinants to control them.

Sleep Disorders and Their Relationship with Cardiovascular Diseases: A Review | Chapter 16 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 13

 Sleep is a physiological process that happens to everyone. Approximately one-third of a person's life is spent sleeping. Sleeping for 7-9 hours a day, falling asleep effortlessly and staying asleep without interruption, waking up feeling refreshed, and remaining awake during the day are all signs of restorative sleep. Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, hypersomnolence, parasomnias, sleep-related movement disorders, and circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, can occur as a result of abnormalities. Breathing problems can also cause sleep fragmentation. All across the world, sleep disturbances are frequent. They're frequently linked to various health issues like metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and psychological diseases. They also have a variety of behavioural issues. They are less productive, have more accidents, and are absent from work more frequently. Overall, these patients have a lower sense of well-being and a lower quality of life. Sleep disturbances are also linked to an increased risk of death. Chronic sleep deprivation costs the economy a lot of money. Inadequate sleep is also firmly linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death), peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, and vasculogenic erectile dysfunction are all major cardiovascular illnesses. Sleep deprivation plays a role in the aetiology of all of these diseases. The link between sleep and cardiovascular disease is frequently bidirectional. Restorative sleep may be hindered by cardiac problems, particularly during intensive care hospitalisation. In the drive to improve worldwide cardiovascular health, maintaining a regular sleep routine and treating sleep-related problems are significant goals. The implications of sleep problems on cardiovascular diseases are discussed in this paper.
