  • Each student is uniquely different and learns in a variety of different way. So you will find that many of the top tier private preschools and child care centers will recognize this on a daily basis. Many of these best schools will let each child learn at their own pace and steer them into smaller groups for learning. The student will do more reading if it is shown that they have more advancement in linguistic stimulation. Or if he or she show advancement in reasoning, mathematics, or creative arts, then the student will be lead in the direction.

      I'm learning more about Howard Gardner right now and in particular what I am wondering now is: What made him want to write about these eight intelligences?I was researching this question online and this blog post caught my attention because the background is very eyecatching and the summary was very vague but I thought about it and I figured out what the writer had meant. The quote I chose was basiacally the answer to my question because it states the reason that he wrote the book with those learning styles, he says that the best schools focus on your individual talents so you succeed in your life to your best ability

  • If you have a solitary style, you are more private, introspective and independent. You can concentrate well, focusing your thoughts and feelings on your current topic. You are aware of your own thinking, and you may analyze the different ways you think and feel.
  • You spend time on self-analysis, and often reflect on past events and the way you approached them.

      I am learning more about intrapersonal learning styles right now and in particular what I'm wondering about this: Why is this term "self-analysis" important to this text?. I was researching this for my Multiple Intelligences essay and this blog post caught my attention because this post went straight to the point and did not take three paragraphs to get there so I did not get bored and click it out. The quote I chose here was saying that self-analysis is the first way to figure out how you got this style of learning or whether you got it or not. I think this is very informative because it makes me wonder if there is more to that than just being very social. Now I sort of think: ok well this person is more sure of themselves with other individuals or this person is not a loner, or just that this person is a team player.

      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
  • 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]

  • Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of between three weeks to six months.[6]

      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]

      Is there more to this because I wonder how long chronic insomnia can go on.
    • CorrineA EWSIS

      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].

      What types of sedatives can give you psychological diseases?
    • CorrineA EWSIS

      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 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.

    Giving coffee to babies won't keep them awake as in case of adults, in fact the hot beverage would have a long-lasting and detrimental effect on little ones' sleep and breathing
