SLEEP

There's a quiz tomorrow and I'm basically rushing through my textbook now.

I'm on the chapter on states of consciousness, and I'm reading the part on sleep disorders.

Some of the common sleep disorders:

1. Somnambulism (commonly known as insomnia)
2. Night terrors
3. Restless leg syndrome
4. Nocturnal leg cramps
5. Hypersomnia
6. Circadian rhythm disorders
7. Enuresis

[Edited] Once or twice, during childhood, I had experienced bedwetting. I'm sure many of us had this experience before. Haha. Bedwetting can be a serious problem if it happens too many times. Mine happened basically because I dreamt of going to the toilet when my brain was actually telling me my bladder was full. Bedwetting happens commonly among children because they have not developed abilities to wake up when the bladder is full or hormones to suppress urine production at night fully. But of course, bedwetting can be caused by many reasons.

I had nocturnal leg cramp once. It was super painful, and the worst was, I couldn't wake up to ease the pain. I was screaming and shouting in my sleep, but actually my brain was fully aware of the pain. Eventually my dad came and massaged my foot (and I could clearly remember it was the left foot). Haha.

When I was in NYJC, there was this guy who would sleep during the day. In lectures or during breaks, we could all see him sleeping. His upper body would curl in a weird way, and yet he slept soundly through the whole lecture. WHY?! Hahaha. Was he partially conscious during this kind of sleep?? I heard he scored quite well. Sleep is so interesting. Is this hypersomnia? I remembered one of my friends told me that a teacher said that was Narcolepsy. People suffering from it may fall asleep at inappropriate places and at inappropriate times. (In narcolepsy, the person may slip suddenly into REM sleep during the day especially when the person experiences strong emotions- quoted from my PSY textbook again.) Looks like it's probably not narcolepsy??
