"The term 'parasomnias' describes a heterogeneous group of sleep, arousal, waking and sleeping disturbances that occur and appear to affect the life of people of all ages, including infants. The concept of 'parasomnias' is not synonymous with, but rather an attempt to replace descriptive, descriptive and diagnostic'sleep disorders' in psychiatry, and thus it may be misleading. Given current and evolving knowledge regarding the cause and mechanisms of parasomnias as well as the heterogeneity of the group, and the lack of consensus regarding their definitions, diagnosis and classification, 'parasomnias' is a useful term which, if properly used and applied, should be of benefit to clinicians." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"This is one of a handful of studies reporting on the clinical presentation and treatment of dyssomnias. The findings are consistent with the current literature in that it demonstrates that dyssomnias are commonly unrecognised in general clinical practice but can be treated with reasonable fidelity." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Dyssomnia is an uncommon disease, with over 100 medical diseases being associated with sleep disturbance. This article presents treatment options when dyssomnia is secondary to other medical conditions (such as heart failure, depression, psychiatric disorders, and ankylosing spondylitis). Patients with sleep bruxism in particular can benefit from prescription or non-prescription sedative hypnotics and anticonvulsants." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Although this study had a small sample size, with only four subjects it was difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Results from a recent clinical trial are encouraging, however. Dyssomnias can be treated." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"This is the first study to report on the number of the comorbidities that make up the DIMS, and to document the prevalence of each DIMS. The DIMS have been shown to be highly prevalent. In addition, the results of this study point to the need to establish the nature of this comorbidity and its relation to major depression and dyssomnias in future research." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The etiology of dyssomnias is multifactorial and involves a complex interaction between the environmental, psychological, and the autonomic nervous systems, in which genetic predispositions may contribute." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"These preliminary findings add further evidence that mindfulness-based intervention may produce positive effects on mood and self-esteem. While there was no difference in duration of distress in the 2 experimental group conditions, this small randomized controlled study demonstrated that a mindfulness-based approach adds significant benefit over the standard antidepressant method when used in combination." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"In this review, we discuss new evidence supporting the potential therapeutic efficacy for (1) non-invasive nature+mindfulness intervention for anxiety disorders, (2) non-invasive nature+mindfulness intervention for depression, and (3) non-invasive nature+mindfulness intervention for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The review also highlights potential challenges with non-invasive nature+mindfulness interventions." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"All types of excessive sleepiness are associated with increased death from accidents and other causes. The risk of dying from accidents and other causes were almost double the risk of dying of an accident and another cause when sufferers were sleepy, even if they slept only 3.0+ hours a day. The risk of dying from an accident and other causes were increased by almost 1.5 fold when sufferers slept only 1.8 hours a day, and almost doubled when sufferers slept 2.0+ hours a day." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"This review has identified five common causes of DSD that can be detected in the differential diagnosis of DSD. However, these diagnoses are relatively recent and are not often reported in the medical literature so clinicians must be aware of them to ensure correct diagnosis. Recognizing these causes and having a plan on how best to treat DSD based on the cause are critical factors in determining the outcome after identification." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Self-care, environmental changes (such as sleeping more and staying in nature), and mindfulness-based cognitive training have not been adequately studied in DME. For these interventions, a randomized clinical trial with long-term follow-up is needed as a next step in future research." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Data from a recent study of clinical trials in patients with dyssomnia have been rather disappointing, but promising results in animal studies have been reported. The development of drug or nonpharmacologic therapies might be worthwhile." - Anonymous Online Contributor
