1 in 7 suffer from sleep 'drunkenness'Have you ever answered the phone in the morning to discover it was actually your alarm clock going off, or had a conversation in the middle of the night and woken up the next day with no recollection of it? A new study suggests you are not alone. Researchers found many of us have had a similar experience in our lifetime. The study, out Monday in the journal Neurology, says one in every seven people suffer from sleep "drunkenness" disorder, also called confusional arousal. Confusional arousal is when a person wakes up and remains in a confused state for a certain period of time before either going back to sleep or fully waking up. These episodes typically happen, according to the National Institutes of Health, when someone is awakened during non-rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is a deeper sleep period. And they're usually triggered by a forced awakening, like an alarm or phone call. The study authors had more than 19,000 adults fill out a survey about their sleeping habits. They found 15.2% of the participants experienced one episode of confusional arousal during the past year. Dr. Maurice Ohayon, lead study author and a sleep expert at Stanford University, was surprised by the substantial percentage. When he looked carefully, he says, he found over half of these participants have "confusional arousal one time or more a week, and that is considerable." What's even more interesting, says Ohayon, is how long confusional arousal seems to last. While more than one third of the participants who experienced episodes once a week reported they lasted under 5 minutes, 32.3% of people said their episodes lasted between 5 and 15 minutes and 30% of people experienced episodes lasting 15 minutes or more. If someone is experiencing these episodes, they need to let their doctors know, says Ohayon. An episode can cause violent behavior during sleep, according to the study. "You can hurt yourself physically, hurt someone (else). You wake up irritable and possibly violent." He compares it to waking up in a hotel room - you don't know where you are or what hour it is, so your reaction or responses to the environment are not adapted. Ohayon says shift workers, such as doctors or pilots, who nap during work and can be awakened suddenly, should block at least 15 minutes of time for their bodies to truly wake up before, say, taking command of a plane or making life-or-death decisions. The study found that 84% of those with sleep drunkenness disorder also had another sleep disorder, a mental health disorder or were taking psychotropic drugs such as antidepressants. Less than 1% of the people with sleep drunkenness had no known cause or related condition. Dr. David Alexander Schulman, director of the sleep lab at Emory University in Atlanta, says having these episodes isn't uncommon. "Fifteen percent sounds shocking," but when you think about it, most of us have had these type experiences. One of the things that can make confusion arousal worse is sleep deprivation. Schulman says it's well known that American's don't sleep enough. "If you are getting less than 6 hours a night, and you are having confusional arousal, then the first thing you need to do is try getting more sleep," he says. Schulman was skeptical of the number of participants whose episodes lasted more than 15 minutes. While he says these episodes can be common and often funny, most people don't continue to talk into the phone for 15 minutes when their alarm clock is going off. "I'd be surprised if the episode lasted more than 15 minutes," he said. "That's one of the struggles with a subjective survey." |

I’m 12 and get this all the time, my parents say that I’m funny and talk a lot. I looked in to it and I believe I have sleep drunkenness. I would fall asleep on the couch and wake up in my bed, I ask my mom and she tells me a funny story how I got up into my bed and how I talk
Sorry, if not for the subject matter. I had a bit of shame. I randomly misplaced my essay and that i urgently must produce a completely new one particular. I'm able to not publish with my own strength, so I wished to apply to the essay creating assistance for dollars. Seen two or three reports about this, but I do not know if you can confidence these companies. Has any one heard of the term-paper.com?
MY HUSBAND IS BACK AFTER TWO YEARS OF BREAKUP...I AM SO HAPPY. YOU CAN CONTACT DR. UGO WONDER WHO HELPED ME ON GENERALSPELLTEMPLE @ GMAIL DOT COM
Not sure if this is the same thing but I think I've had this for years... When I was younger I would go to bed and think I slept for days or hours but I'd find out things like they would throw a party and wake me up and I would be awake talking laughing responding playing board games eating cake all this for hours go back to bed wake up and only have pictures to show for it... These days it drives my husband crazy cuz I will be sleeping and he will wake me up and he will say that I said things to him and was so mean to him and was wide awake but I don't remember any of it... I said maybe it's just cuz the baby doesn't give me enough sleep but it worries me cuz I could have a whole day and not remember it or have any recollection of that day even existing... Or those hours or minutes and a lot of the time the person I was doesn't even sound like how I'd act or anything so yeah just thought I would share that Kay bye

How To Stop A Divorce And Save Your Marriage?(Dr.Noble).
Hello to every one out here, am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me few days back, i am Alexander Billy , live in TEXAS,USA.and I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family
seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my kids passed through
severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend
of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow
her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.(Templeofjoyandprosperity@gmail.com}, So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what
an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back So Amazing!!
So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my kids. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster
. So, i will advice you out there to kindly email this wonderful man {Templeofjoyandprosperity@gmail.com} call or whatsap +2348145643630 if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back. So thanks to Dr Noble for bringing back my wife,and brought
great joy to my family once again.{Templeofjoyandprosperity@gmail.com} , Thanks..
This scares me but helps too,if that makes sense. Sometimes when I'm napping in a chair with my little dog snuggled next to me, I swear I can feel his little paws climb over my legs and off the chair. Just as I'm about to say 'bye Pookie, I open my eyes to see he's in the same place next to me. I have many different examples.
People think I'm crazy, and so do I. I've been awoken from a dream feeling as if I'm still in it,and talk nonsensical for a few minutes. I'm scared. I'm 55 years old. If I describe these symptoms to my family doctor,will he believe me, or tgink I'm crazy like everyone else? What so you thunk I should do?

Not even in my wildest dreams would i believe this is real. I never thought this would work but i just decided to give it a try since a friend of mine whom i trusted so much told me she tried it and it worked out well for her. My marriage was suffering and my children passing through lots of pains when my husband left me for another woman. My life was in a mess and i could not take it anymore. With little faith in me i contacted this great spell caster via email which my friend told me about i told him my problems and he said he could help me. he asked me for some things which i provided. At first i was not convinced i thought he just was just after my money i told my friend what the spell caster said and she asked me to go ahead not to be scared, then i sent him what he asked me to. When THIS GREAT SPELL CASTER finished what he prepared for me you will not believe it, It was exert 2 days which he said and my husband came back home and apologized to me and our children and infarct from that day on-front my husband has been so loving and caring more than the way he was before. Am grateful to this spell caster who brought back joy and happiness in our home. in case you are in similar problem do not hesitate to contact him via this email; onarutemple@gmailcom
