Isolated sleep paralysis: a web survey.
Isolated Sleep Paralysis (SP) occurs at least once in a lifetime in 40-50% of normal subjects, while as a chronic complaint it is an uncommon and scarcely known disorder. A series of messages written by subjects who experienced at least one episode of SP, containing more or less detailed descriptions of this disorder, were collected from the Sleep Web site of the University of California in Los...
متن کاملAdvancing the sleep/wake schedule impacts the sleep of African-Americans more than European-Americans
There are differences in sleep duration between Blacks/African-Americans and Whites/European-Americans. Recently, we found differences between these ancestry groups in the circadian system, such as circadian period and the magnitude of phase shifts. Here we document the role of ancestry on sleep and cognitive performance before and after a 9-h advance in the sleep/wake schedule similar to flyin...
متن کاملA clinician’s guide to recurrent isolated sleep paralysis
This review summarizes the empirical and clinical literature on sleep paralysis most relevant to practitioners. During episodes of sleep paralysis, the sufferer awakens to rapid eye movement sleep-based atonia combined with conscious awareness. This is usually a frightening event often accompanied by vivid, waking dreams (ie, hallucinations). When sleep paralysis occurs independently of narcole...
متن کاملHuman circadian melatonin rhythm phase delay during a fixed sleep-wake schedule interspersed with nights of sleep deprivation.
The human circadian pacemaker, with an intrinsic period between 23.9 and 24.5 hr, can be reset by low levels of light. Biomathematical models of the human clock predict that light-dark cycles consisting of only approximately 3.5 lux during 16 hr of wakefulness and 0 lux during 8 hr of sleep should entrain approximately 45% of the population. However, under real-life conditions, sleep-wake sched...
متن کاملBehavioral and psychiatric consequences of sleep-wake schedule disorders
Circadian rhythm sleep disorders (CRSDs) arise when an individual's sleep-wake rhythm mismatches the environmental 24-h schedule. Physiological data and genetic studies in patients with CRSDs suggest that these disorders result from abnormal functioning of the circadian timing system. Diagnosis involves recognition of the characteristics of CRSDs, which can be achieved by clinical interview and...
