Sleep and Sleep Disorders (Insomnia, Narcolepsy, and More) Mnemonics (Memorable Psychiatry Lecture)

While everyone knows about sleep, most people aren’t familiar with the underlying biology! Learning about sleep physiology will enable us to better learn about and understand various disorders of sleep, including insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, circadian rhythm disorders (such as jet lag), parasomnias (such as sleepwalking), nightmare disorder, sleep terrors, sleep paralysis, REM sleep behavior disorder, and narcolepsy.

Learn more sleep and sleep disorders, including their core signs and symptoms, prognosis, and treatment, in this high-yield talk intended for all healthcare providers, including doctors, medical students, psychologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, and more!

Some really great info in here, thank for you posting :) I have Narcolepsy so it's always fascinating to learn more. Here's some interesting things about the disorder (for me):

- My brain was recorded waking up 28 times during a 2 hour sleep study.
- I encounter sleep paralysis daily and have since learned to induce it
- I often experience audible hallucination as I'm falling asleep such as fireworks, music or whispers.
- I can close my eyes at night and instantly fall into REM while still being awake and feeling my eyes jitter
- Sometimes I'll close my eyes and can visibly "see" through my eyelids. A few weeks ago I put on my sleep mask and was instantly "transported" into my childhood bedroom, almost like putting on VR goggles. I can move my head and look around in full detail. I saw items that were previously lost/forgotten memories. I could physically wave my hand in front of my eyes and "see" the movement in real time. People on the Narcolepsy subreddit claimed they experience this as well. Apparently the CIA conducted psychic experiments regarding this phenomenon in the 70's?
- My dreams beyond vivid and intense - to the point where they're indistinguishable from reality and I often confuse memories with dreams. My dreams are all accompanied by a lucid inner monologue. I alwo feel physical stimuli such as pain and touch. I can fully recall 3-4 dreams per night in full detail and can "watch" them on a mental screen. I have a mental archive of most of my dreams throughout my life, however most older than a year are just a few visual snippets or frames.

Two tidbits of uncertain veracity:

Before the advent of gas and electric lighting, it was seemingly not uncommon for people to split their sleep into two pieces of roughly equal length, with a period of productive wakefulness in between. Ben Franklin wrote of this and if memory serves he found that period of wakefulness in the middle of the night productive (I assume by candle or oil-lamp light). He refers to his "second sleep" a few times in hiw writings.

Quite a long time ago I recall reading an article in National Geographic concerning a Frenchman who lived in a cave for a lengthy period; he was in communication with people on the surface but given no time cues. I'm not sure how they avoided cues based on who was working at the surface. This individual seems to drift to an odd schedule, I think with a long and a short sleep period with an overall 32 hour cycle. I'd love to know of any further research along these lines... it strikes me as something NASA might underwrite to determine the ideal astronaut sleep/wake schedule.

I loved this video. This is great in providing psychoeducational intervention for clients.

A very good presentation on some of the sleep disorders, however you failed to discuss one of the more important parasomnias. NOCTUNAL ENURESIS. This parasomnia affects millions of children and some adults.

The parasomnias comprise a group of disorders that intrude into the sleep process and are not primarily disorders of sleep and wake states per se. These disorders are manifestations of central nervous system activation usually transmitted through skeletal muscle or autonomic nervous system channels (ICSD 1990). The parasomnias are divided into four groups: Arousal disorders (sleepwalking, night terrors, and confusionnal arousal), sleep-wake transition disorders (rhythmic movement disorder, sleep starts), REM sleep parasomnias (nightmares, sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and REM sleep behavior disorders), and other parasomnias (sleep talking, nocturnal enuresis, and nocturnal bruxism.

Parasomnias are frequent. They usually represent either the exaggeration of a physiological phenomenon (e.g. sleep starts) or a non-disturbing, idiopathic and usually benign sleep disorder (e.g. sleep talking and bruxism), which need only counseling and improvement of sleep hygiene. However, occasionally parasomnias are of clinical relevance. They can cause insomnia or hypersomnia (e.g. 'myoclonus nocturnus'), psychosocial stress (e.g. sleep-related enuresis and sleep walking) and injuries to oneself and others (e.g. REM-parasomnia). Finally, they can be symptomatic of neurological and medical disorders (e.g. sleep paralysis and 'myoclonus nocturnus'). In these cases special investigations including video-polysomnography can establish a correct diagnosis and allow a specific treatment.

Regardless of the parasomnia, a complete understanding of why we sleep is necessary. If a person lives to the ripe old age of 80 they will have spent 24-26 yrs sleeping. This is without question a vitally important topic that so little of is known.

Narcolepsy is much more complicated than what you say. Most of us do NOT have all symptoms. On top of that, very rarely do people fall asleep while walking. PWN also experience a slew of issues brought on by the perpetual sleep deprivation(high bp, depression, obesity, brain fog, irritability). Narcolepsy is also divided into two categories. N1 (w cataplexy) and N2 (without).
