  • Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake.
    • Paul Allison

      So this is saying that when you don't sleep at night you often get hurt the next day.
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      I guess this is saying that if you are not usually asleep when you normally would be, you are less attentive. You could bump into something or hurt your foot etc. When you are between being awake and being asleep that can also damage you in the morning.
  • Insomnia is a symptom[1] which can accompany of any of several sleep, medical and psychiatric disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep despite the opportunity.
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      It's important because knowing what insomnia is helps to figure out what sleepless night are and why they occur.
  • According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services in the year 2007, approximately 64 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia each year.[3] Insomnia is 1.4 times more common in women than in men.[4]

      This sentence is important because statistics mean that there are personal experiences out there to investigate in the mysterious questions circulating sleepless nights

      The more i look up research on this topic the more i realize that i have insomnia myself. Before i was told that its from stressed, something on my mind or feelings i had kept hidden. Every where i looked for information about it they all seem to save diffrent things how you can have it but they all did say the syptoms and i do have them.

  • Transient insomnia lasts from days to weeks. It can be caused by another disorder, by changes in the sleep environment, by the timing of sleep, severe depression, or by stress. Its consequences - sleepiness and impaired psychomotor performance - are similar to those of sleep deprivation.[5]
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      this helps to know the different types of insomia so in case you come across sleepless nights then you can figure out what your symtoms may be
  • Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of between three weeks to six months.[6]
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      This type of insomnia is not very long but is is alarming to those who can't get a good night's sleep for months.
  • Chronic insomnia lasts for years at a time. It can be caused by another disorder, or it can be a primary disorder. Its effects can vary according to its causes. They might include sleepiness, muscular fatigue, hallucinations, and/or mental fatigue; but people with chronic insomnia often show increased alertness. Some people that live with this disorder see things as though they were happening in slow motion, wherein moving objects seem to blend together. Can cause double vision.[5]
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      Is there more to this because I wonder how long chronic insomnia can go on.
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      Does chronic mean consistantly?
  • In many cases, insomnia is caused by another disease, side effects from medications, or a psychological problem.
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      What types of diseases cause mild sleepless nights?
  • Many insomniacs rely on sleeping tablets and other sedatives to get rest. All sedative drugs have the potential of causing psychological dependence where the individual cannot psychologically accept that they can sleep without drugs[citation needed].
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      What types of sedatives can give you psychological diseases?
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      Are sedatives harmful to you nervous system?
  • Restless Legs Syndrome can cause insomnia due to the discomforting sensations felt and need to move the legs or other body parts to relieve these sensations. It is difficult if not impossible to fall asleep while moving.
  • Some antidepressants such as amitriptyline, doxepin, mirtazapine, and trazodone can often have a very strong sedative effect, and are prescribed off label to treat insomnia.[33] The major drawback of these drugs is that they have antihistaminergic, anticholinergic and antiadrenergic properties which can lead to many side effects. Some also alter sleep architecture.
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 15 Dec 09
       
      I think that these are important because they are partly the reason why some people have sleepless nights. Also because these are anti-depressants and they are the laeding cause of sleepless nights which answers part of my question
  • The antihistamine diphenhydramine is widely used in nonprescription sleep aids such as Tylenol PM, with a 50 mg recommended dose mandated by the FDA. In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other countries, a 25 mg to 50 mg recommended dose is permitted.
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 15 Dec 09
       
      Why is this relevant to the treatment?
  • Cyproheptadine is a useful alternative to benzodiazepine hypnotics in the treatment of insomnia. Cyproheptadine may be superior to benzodiazepines in the treatment of insomnia because cyproheptadine enhances sleep quality and quantity whereas benzodiazepines tend to decrease sleep quality.
    • CorrineA EWSIS
      CorrineA EWSIS on 15 Dec 09
       
      What these two sentences are saying is that Cyproheptadine way better then benzodiazepines in the treatment of insomnia.

    I'm learning more about racism right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is how can we stop racism? I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because it says how serious problem racism can cause. Here is the quote I found "We have all been a little racist once in a while, and it's easy to call a certain culture names. But we should not judge a certain nationality or colour with just one statement. " The quote I chose here is basically saying that Racism hurts people. It creates conflict and even wars in our world. It tears our world apart. So we can't judge people with thier race. I think this is absolutely right because I think there will be world peace if we can stop racism. there are many arguement that start with racism. It really needs to stop.

    "Quarter Life. Obviously, 25 is a quarter of your life. It's the time when you thought of the things you've done, achieved, where you are right now, etc."
  • Anthoulla EWSIS on 06 Nov 09
     
    My topic is Depression and what causes depression. If you think about it it's really a broad topic, their isn't ONE reason why people get depress; their's many. I wold like to say that the main reason for the cause of depression is love. Love can affect a person so much, look at Michael Jackson -God rest his soul. When you become depressed theirs millions of causes and here is one of them. I think that this quote can lead to depression because when you think about the last 25 years about you life it has it's ups and downs. Nothing is perfect and what it seems. Some people think about pasrt relationships and it really hurts them when they think or "relive" the moment in their minds. Some people can't handle the past because they didn't "achive" their goal or dream and that brings them down, so I see what this quote is trying to say. I like this quote a lot. It really makes you think about your past and where you are right now when it comes to money, family, and everything else. And yes money can make a peson depressed.

  • envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness.
    • Marlene EWSIS
      Marlene EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      This is important because unhappiness leads to a lot of different emotions that can end in tragedy.
  • emotion that "occurs when a person lacks another's (perceived) superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it."
    • Marlene EWSIS
      Marlene EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      This basecally explains why envy occurs. Envy is an emotion that usuall leads to anger, sadness, love, etc
  • most unfortunate aspect of human nature because not only is the envious person rendered unhappy by his envy, but also wishes to inflict misfortune on others
    • Marlene EWSIS
      Marlene EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      This is basecally saying that envy cause more damages then it seems, it hurts the person that's feeling the envy and it also damage the person dat is causing the envy. Some cases have occured where someone is so jelous of another person that in the end they end up killing them,or damaging them in some sort of way.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • "Envy" and "jealousy" are often used interchangeably, but in correct usage, both words stand for two different distinct emotions. In proper usage, jealousy is the fear of losing something that one possesses to another person (a loved one in the prototypical form), while envy is the pain or frustration caused by another person having something that one does not have oneself.
    • Marlene EWSIS
      Marlene EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      This is important because people usually get confuse with this two feelings. As its said here jelousy is the fear of loosing someone/something to another person. While envy is just the feeling of not having what you want.
  • "as the pain caused by the good fortune of others"

      I wonder if envy can come out in a different way other then agreesion and anger.?
  • Envy is known as one of the most powerful human emotions for its ability to control one as if envy was an entity in itself
  • He feels tense, muscles go into spasm, tremulousness and head feeling giddy.
    • Marlene EWSIS
      Marlene EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      This is saying that envy doesn't only cause emotional pain but it also has physical symptoms.

Bill Quigley: Why the U.S. Owes Haiti Billions - 2 views

  • Why does the US owe Haiti Billions?  Colin Powell, former US Secretary of State, stated his foreign policy view as the “Pottery Barn rule.”  That is – “if you break it, you own it.” The US has worked to break Haiti for over 200 years.  We owe Haiti.  Not charity.  We owe Haiti as a matter of justice.  Reparations.  And not the $100 million promised by President Obama either – that is Powerball money.  The US owes Haiti Billions – with a big B. The US has worked for centuries to break Haiti.  The US has used Haiti like a plantation.  The US helped bleed the country economically since it freed itself, repeatedly invaded the country militarily, supported dictators who abused the people, used the country as a dumping ground for our own economic advantage, ruined their roads and agriculture, and toppled popularly elected officials.  The US has even used Haiti like the old plantation owner and slipped over there repeatedly for sexual recreation.

  • Haiti was the subject of a crippling economic embargo by France and the US.
  • Haiti was forced to borrow money from banks in France and the US to pay reparations to France.   A major loan from the US to pay off the French was finally paid off in 1947.  The current value of the money Haiti was forced to pay to French and US banks?  Over $20 Billion – with a big B.

      I think that what the U.S were doing as useing them as plantation is cruel. I mean just because they are the poor people it's doesn't mean that they have to treat them like that.
  • The US continued to refuse recognition to Haiti for 60 more years.
  • ruled Haiti by force from 1915 to 1934.
  • (France sold the entire Louisiana territory to the US for 80 million francs!)
  • The US occupied and ruled Haiti by force from 1915 to 1934.  President Woodrow Wilson sent troops to invade in 1915.  Revolts by Haitians were put down by US military – killing over 2000 in one skirmish alone.  For the next nineteen years, the US controlled customs in Haiti, collected taxes, and ran many governmental institutions.   How many billions were siphoned off by the US during these 19 years?
  • Ten thousand Haitians lost their lives.  Estimates say that Haiti owes $1.3 billion in external debt and that 40% of that debt was run up by the US-backed Duvaliers.
  • From 1957 to 1986 Haiti was forced to live under US backed dictators “Papa Doc” and “Baby Doc” Duvlaier.  The US supported these dictators economically and militarily because they did what the US wanted and were politically “anti-communist”  - now translatable as against human rights for their people.
