  1. Wakefulness-promoting agent

    Image Modafinil.svg right thumb 200px Modafinil , a prototypical example of a wakefulness promoting agent. A wakefulness promoting agent is a type of psychoactive drug which improves wakefulness and alertness , and reduces tiredness , drowsiness , and the need for sleep . They are often used in the treatment of hypersomnia and narcolepsy . The functional opposites of wakefulness promoting agents would be hypnotic s sedative s like antihistamine s, opioids , and benzodiazepine s. The prototype drug in this class is modafinil , and other drugs include adrafinil and armodafinil . The primary difference between these drugs and amphetamine like stimulant s is that wakefulness promoting agents trigger activation of neurons in the hypothalamus based wakefulness circuits, as opposed to producing diffuse neuronal activation. ref cite journal authors Ballon, D.D.

Sudden involuntary sleep onset, and microsleep s are common complications. Citation needed date January 2009 EDS is a symptom of one of the two forms of the sleep disorder hypersomnia , the other being prolonged nighttime sleep. Some persons with EDS, including those with narcolepsy , are compelled to nap repeatedly during the day fighting off increasingly strong urges to sleep during inappropriate times such as while driving, while at work, during a meal, or in conversations. As the compulsion to sleep intensifies, the ability to competently complete tasks sharply diminishes, often mimicking the appearance of intoxication. Diagnosis An adult who is compelled to nap repeatedly during the day may have excessive daytime sleepiness. However, it is important to distinguish between occasional daytime sleepiness and excessive daytime sleepiness, which is chronic medical chronic . A number of tools for screening for EDS have been developed. One is the Epworth Sleepiness Scale which grades the results of a questionnaire. The ESS generates a numerical score from zero 0 to 24 where a score of ten 10 or higher may indicate that the person should consult a specialist in sleep medicine for further evaluation.

  1. Dyssomnia

    Infobox Disease Name PAGENAME ICD9 ICD9 307.47 , ICD9 780.56 MeshID D020920 Dyssomnias are a broad classification of sleep disorder sleeping disorders that make it difficult to get to sleep, or to remain sleeping. Dyssomnias are primary disorders of initiating or maintaining sleep or of excessive sleepiness and are characterized by a disturbance in the amount, quality, or timing of sleep. Patients may complain of difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep, intermittent wakefulness during the night, early morning awakening, or combinations of any of these. Transient episodes are usually of little significance. Stress, caffeine, physical discomfort, daytime napping, and early bedtimes are common factors. Major types of dyssomnias There are over 30 recognized kinds of dyssomnias. Major groups of dyssomnias include Intrinsic sleep disorders 12 disorders recognized, including hypersomnia , narcolepsy , periodic limb movement disorder , restless legs syndrome , sleep apnea . sleep state misperception Extrinsic sleep disorders 13 disorders recognized, including alcoholism alcohol dependent sleep disorder, food allergy insomnia , inadequate sleep routine. Circadian rhythm sleep disorder s, both intrinsic and extrinsic 6 disorders recognized, including advanced sleep phase syndrome , delayed sleep phase syndrome , jetlag , shift work sleep disorder . Treatment In general, there are two broad classes of treatment, and the two may be combined psychological cognitive behavioral and pharmacological. In situations of acute distress, such as a grief reaction, pharmacologic measures may be most appropriate. With primary insomnia, however, initial efforts should be psychologically based. Other specific treatments are appropriate for some of the disorders, such as ingestion of the hormone melatonin and bright light therapy for circadian rhythm disorders. Specialists in sleep medicine are trained to diagnose and treat these disorders. See also Somnolence Parasomnia Mental and behav ...   more details

  1. Microsleep

    A microsleep is an episode of sleep which may last for a fraction of a second or up to thirty seconds. ref name ICSD International Classification of Sleep Disorders Diagnostic and Coding Manual, http www.esst.org adds ICSD.pdf, page 343 ref Often, it is the result of sleep deprivation , mental fatigue physical fatigue , depression, sleep apnea , hypoxia medical hypoxia , narcolepsy , or hypersomnia . Microsleeping can occur at any time, typically without significant warning. Microsleeps or microsleep episodes become extremely dangerous when occurring during situations which demand constant alertness, such as sleep deprived driving driving a motor vehicle or working with heavy machinery. People who experience microsleeps usually remain unaware of them, instead believing themselves to have been awake the whole time, or to have temporarily lost focus. There is little agreement on how best to identify microsleep episodes. Some experts define microsleep according to behavioral criteria head nods, drooping eyelids, etc. , while others rely on EEG markers. One study at the University of Iowa defined EEG monitored microsleeps in driving simulation as a 3 14 second episode during which 4 7 Hz theta activity replaced the waking 8 13 Hz alpha background rhythm. ref cite web url http ppc.uiowa.edu driving assessment 2005 final papers 04 AmitPaul LBoyleformat.pdf title Variability of driving performance during microsleeps accessdate 2008 02 10 last Paul first Amit coauthors Linda Ng Boyle, Jon Tippin, Matthew Rizzo year 2005 format PDF work Proceedings of the Third International Driving Symposium on Human Factors in Driver Assessment, Training and Vehicle Design Dead link date November 2010 bot H3llBot ref When experiencing microsleeps while driving an automobile, from the perspective of the driver, he or she drives a car, and then suddenly realizes that several seconds have passed by unnoticed.

  1. Recurrent brief depression

    Unreferenced date October 2010 Recurrent brief depression RBD defines a mental disorder characterized by intermittent depressive episodes, in women not related to menstrual cycles, occurring at least once a month over at least one year or more fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for major depressive episodes DSM IV and ICD 10 except for duration which in RBD is less than 14 days, typically 2 4 days. Despite the short duration of the depressive episodes, such episodes are severe and suicidal ideation and impaired function is rather common. The majority of patients with RBD also report symptoms of anxiety and increased irritability. Hypersomnia is also rather frequent. About 1 2 of patients fulfilling diagnostic criteria for RBD may have additional short episodes of brief hypomania which is a severity marker of RBD. RBD may be the only mental disorder present, but RBD may also occur as part of a history of recurrent major depressive episodes or bipolar disorders . RBD is also seen among some patients with personality disorders . Prevalence The lifetime prevalence of RBD has been estimated at 2.6 to 10.0 , and the one year prevalence at 5.0 8.2 . The World Health Organization project on Psychological problems in general health care , which was based on primary care samples, reported a one year prevalence of 3.7 9.9 . However none of these studies differentiate between RBD with and without a history of other mood disorder s e.g. major depression . DSM IV field trial estimated the life time of RBD only to be about 2 . Cause The cause etiology of RBD is unknown, but recent findings may suggest a link between RBD and bipolar disorders, pointing to the importance of genetic factors. A small sub group of patients with RBD has temporal lobe epilepsy. Treatment Both psychotherapy as well as different drugs e.g. serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs or mood stabilizers, e.g. lithium, antiepileptics have been suggested as treatments.However, no randomized controlled treatment trial ...   more details
