If a person has issues with disturbed legs in the evening or night, he or she might be under pressure from a severe illness which is widely known as Restless Legs Syndrome. This disorder is a frequent physical condition that produces an unmanageable urge to move or shake the legs. The annoying discomfort constantly starts as the individual starts to relax their body, which is why it often takes place at night. Individuals have detailed the exact unbearable feelings as tugging or creeping and crawling. Restless legs usually hinder just the lower portion of the human body, but there have been instances which additionally affect the arms too.

The direct causes of restless legs are still sometimes difficult to figure out, but currently there are some patterns and sequences that typically identify the condition. A number of people that suffer from restless legs get it from family genes, while others develop it from alternative health-related disorders and women can develop it from being pregnant. Physical things like being overweight and smoking could be leading starting points for the progress of RLS. Various other health-related diseases like anemia, diabetes and hypoglycemia are recognized to aggravate symptoms as well.

Calming down or laying down to go to bed is when restless legs really begin to increase and start to physically affect the patient. Throughout the daytime everything may feel normal, but just as a patients body seriously gets into a soothing mode, the irritating sensations return and therefore the person desperately needs to relocate their legs and even arise and wander around to shake things off.

Restless legs at night can be quite a nerve-racking concern that impedes a good night of sleep, besides being annoying and obstructing to those who experience the condition. Temporary relief by urgent movements, can usually supply some relaxation, but before long, the tempting wish to stir around is back. As leg movements become more and more common, RLS can develop into more serious conditions like insomnia.

Becoming identified as a patient who has Restless Legs Syndrome can take some effort and patience. The procedure involves regular visits to a doctor where experiments with the purpose of narrowing down the causes are held. A lack of iron in the body is the first problem to get checked on, followed by a series of tests that revolve around daily routine. A reduction in the intake of alcoholic drinks and smoking, can result in a healthier way of life and contributes to positive changes and lessens the symptoms.

There are a number of prescribed medicines like muscular relaxants and rest aids which can be taken to decrease the negative symptoms. However, these medications normally occur at a price of unintended effects and in some cases wind up without benefit following long term usage. Organic treatment options dealing with rest and herbal remedies can certainly be useful solutions.

As the problem becomes increasingly severe, Restless Legs Syndrome can distract from a healthy lifestyle and take away the comfort of relaxation. People that go through it are encouraged to find treatment solutions to enhance their particular lives and gain back their potential to fall asleep quietly once again.

Contributed by: (http://www.india-herbs.com):

Sleep is the state of natural rest observed in humans and throughout the animal kingdom, in all mammals and birds, and in many reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

In humans, other mammals, and many other animals that have been studied — such as fish, birds, ants, and fruit-flies — regular sleep is necessary for survival. The capability for arousal from sleep is a protective mechanism and also necessary for health and survival.

Sleep is generally characterized by a reduction in voluntary body movement, temporary blindness, decreased reaction to external stimuli, loss of consciousness, a 70% reduction in hearing capacity, an increased rate of anabolism (the synthesis of cell structures), and a decreased rate of catabolism (the breakdown of cell structures).

Sleep Stages

The measurement of eye movement during sleep is used to divide sleep into two broad types: rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Each type has a distinct set of associated physiological, neurological and psychological features.
Sleep proceeds in cycles of REM and NREM phases. In humans, this cycle is approximately 90–110 minutes. Each phase may have a distinct physiological function. Drugs such as alcohol and sleeping pills can suppress certain stages of sleep (see Sleep deprivation). This can result in a sleep that exhibits loss of consciousness but does not fulfill its physiological functions.

In REM, the brain is active and the body inactive, and this is when most dreaming occurs. REM sleep is characterized by an electroencephalography (EEG) that has low voltage and mixed frequency, similar in appearance to the awake EEG. During REM sleep there is loss of skeletal muscle tone, and an active sympathetic nervous system. When penile erections occur during sleep, it is usually REM sleep.

In NREM sleep, the body is active and the brain inactive, and there is relatively little dreaming. Non-REM encompasses four stages; stages 1 and 2 are considered ‘light sleep’, and 3 and 4 ‘deep sleep’. They are differentiated solely using EEG, unlike REM sleep which is characterized by rapid eye movements and relative absence of muscle tone. There are often limb movements, and parasomnia sleep walking occurs in non-REM sleep.

A cyclical alternating pattern may sometimes be observed during a stage.

Rechtschaffen and Kales originally outlined the criteria for staging sleep in 1969. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) updated the staging rules in 2007.

Stage 4 Sleep. EEG highlighted by red box.
REM Sleep. Eye movements highlighted by red line. Both REM sleep and NREM sleep stages 3 and 4 are homeostatically driven; that is, if a human is selectively deprived of one of these, it rebounds once the person is allowed to sleep. This suggests that both are essential in the sleep process and its many functions.

NREM

NREM accounts for 75–80% of total sleep time in normal human adults, and consists of four stages according to the 2007 AASM standards:

Active Sleep is a phase of sleep in newborns that appears similar to REM sleep in adults. Neonatal sleep depends on age and is sometimes divided into Active Sleep, Quiet Sleep, and Wake. This is less specific than the classification of adult’s sleep, and is often based on behavioral criteria because it is technically difficult to record an EEG from a newborn. Some scientists suggest that Active Sleep is similar to REM sleep. Others say it is an entirely different state, and point to differences between a developing central nervous system and a mature one.

Sleep Regulation

The cycle of sleep and wakefulness is regulated by the brain stem, thalamus, external stimuli, and various hormones produced by the hypothalamus. Three processes, influenced by hormonal, neurological, and environmental factors, underlie sleep regulation:

A homeostatic process determined by prior sleep and wakefulness, determines “sleep need.”

A circadian process determines periods of high and low sleep propensity, and high and low REM sleep propensity.

An ultradian process

The interrelationships and relative importance of each process and system remain uncertain.

Some neurohormones and neurotransmitters are highly correlated with sleep and wake states. For example, melatonin levels are highest during the night, and this hormone appears to promote sleep. Adenosine, a nucleoside involved in generating energy for biochemical processes, gradually accumulates in the human brain during wakefulness, and decreases during sleep. Researchers believe that its accumulation encourages sleep. The stimulant properties of caffeine are attributed to its negating the effects of adenosine. But the role of adenosine is far from proven, as mice lacking adenosine receptors display normal sleep patterns and normal responses to sleep deprivation.

Insomnia cure can be permanent. Insomnia is caused by imbalance of the 5 organs system. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is characterized difficulty in falling and/or staying asleep. Insomnia is connected with the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and spleen disharmony particularly with the heart, which houses the shen, or spirit. The TCM view is that the spirit cannot rest (over active), because there is heat in the heart, just like a car when the engine vibrates too much the mechanic has to tune it. The key is to use herbs to bring the organs into working harmony or in simple term to tune the engine

High blood pressure or hypertension means high pressure (tension) in the arteries. The arteries carry blood from the heart to all of the tissues and organs of the body. Normal blood pressure is 120/80 and a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is considered high blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure, the former number, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. The diastolic pressure, the latter number, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart relaxes after the contraction.

An elevation of the systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure increases the risk of developing heart or kidney disease, hardening of the arteries, eye damage and stroke. Therefore it is important that hypertension be treated as soon as possible because it is a silent killer..

In TCM it is caused by weakness in the liver, irregularity in the blood and blockage in the blood arteries. Hypertension can be effectively control or treated. It has to be treated holistically. Do not just take drug to dilate your arteries and temporarily bring down the pressure. This is call masking or bluffing your body.

I made this video one night when I couldn’t sleep. I used random video footage some old some filmed for the video, to tell a story, a story as abstract as dreams. How would you interperet this as a dream, what parts are dreams and reality?, what is the most striking or memorable images or parts. There is no right or wrong answer, only your interpritation.
