Patients benefit the Most from Orexin Antagonists? Those with sleep-onset insomnia, sleep-maintenance insomnia, or insomnia caused by hyperarousal. They are ideal for those seeking a non-sedative option with a lower risk of dependency. #sleep # ADHD

Orexin Antagonists in Modern Medicine are a groundbreaking class of drugs designed to address sleep disorders, particularly insomnia. By targeting orexin receptors, these medications inhibit the action of orexins, that promote wakefulness, facilitating sleep. #insomnia #sleep

Orexin Vs Melatonin. People who need help adjusting sleep-wake cycle (like those dealing with jet lag), melatonin is generally more effective. However, for those struggling with sleep maintenance or staying asleep, orexin-targeting medications may be more beneficial #ADHD#Sleep

Research on ASMR for insomnia is still limited. there is some clinical evidence suggesting it can help with relaxation & anxiety. A few studies have shown it can lower heart rate and create a calm mental state. #ASMR #insomnia

REM is when your dreams occur. During REM, heart rate, blood pressure, brain activity, breathing increase. Your eyes move rapidly, even though closed. muscles in arms & legs become temporarily unable to move. This prevents you from acting out your dreams as you experience them.

REM sleep: What is it, why is it important, and how can you get more of it? Rapid eye movement sleep is part of your body's normal sleep cycle. Each of your body's sleep cycles lasts about 80 to 100 minutes. Most of us experience four to six sleep cycles per night. #sleep
