    Night sleep was examined in 120 patients with different forms of insomnia. The positive effect of Imovane was shown both on presomnic and intrasomnic disorders. Transitory side effects (dryness, bitter taste in the mouth) were in some cases that didn't need cessation of therapy. Polysomnographic studies confirmed effectivity of Imovane: there were observed either lengthening of the duration of sleep, its 2 stage, delta-sleep, or decrease of the duration of falling asleep. There were no respiratory changes after course of Imovane, meanwhile some indices positive dynamics was revealed in this case.

    Sleep-Wake Cycles

    Sleep is an essential physiological process vital to maintaining overall well-being. The reticular activating system (RAS), a network of neurons in the brainstem, regulates wakefulness and sleep. While it may seem passive, sleep consists of distinct cycles, each with its unique characteristics and functions. Two key sleep phases are non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and  rapid eye movement (REM).
    NREM Sleep
    NREM sleep comprises four progressive stages that seamlessly merge:
    Sedatives and Hypnotics: Overview01:23

    Sedatives and Hypnotics: Overview

    Sedatives are drugs that alleviate anxiety, while hypnotics induce sleep. Both classes of medication suppress neuronal activity, leading to a calming effect for sedatives and facilitating sleep for hypnotics.
    Sedative-hypnotics are categorized into barbiturates, benzodiazepines (BZDs), and non-benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. These drugs work by suppressing central nervous system activity, and this suppression is dose-dependent. Older sedative medications, like barbiturates, follow a linear curve in...

    Management of Insomnia

    The sleep cycle, an integral part of human health, consists of several stages with distinct characteristics and functions. It begins with a transition from wakefulness to sleep, known as the light sleep phase, followed by the restorative deep sleep phase, essential for physical recovery and growth. The cycle concludes with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase, characterized by high brain activity and vivid dreaming. Insomnia, a prevalent sleep disorder, involves difficulty falling asleep, staying...

    Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Miscellaneous Agents

    Sedatives and hypnotics encompass a wide range of substances, each with its unique mechanism of action, uses, and potential adverse effects.
    Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...
    Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation01:13

    Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation

    Insufficient sleep refers to not getting the recommended amount of sleep for optimal functioning, even if it's just slightly less than needed. Sleep insufficiency may occur due to lifestyle choices, such as staying up late for social events or work, resulting in routinely getting less sleep than required. For example, consistently sleeping 6 hours when the body needs 7-9 hours can lead to cumulative effects on health and well-being.
    Sleep deprivation is a more severe form of sleep loss...
    Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

    Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

    Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
