Hello Everyone, We are reaching out to provide the opportunity to participate in a sleep and anxiety study comparing medical students in the United States and Egypt. We understand the demands that come with performing in medical school, and managing sleep is a major factor in well-being and...

I was diagnosed with type 2 narcolepsy (without cataplexy) about a month before starting medical school last fall, and I assumed pharmacological treatment would be helpful but it fluctuates. The disorder makes sleep irresistible at different times each day and often results in oversleeping in...

So this is one I've asked around about and have meant to post here for a while. The specific question is: "Can a person have a full-blown manic episode and not experience any sleep disturbance?" I realize that technically this is possible per DSM criteria, but I've only ever seen it in the...

Has anyone bought this subscription? I can pay you for 2-3 weeks of access to only the sleep questions to prepare for my sleep boards. Please let me know here of through messaging. Thanks!

Hello SDN, the thread is exactly as it's stated. Where the hell can one learn more about Clinical Sleep psychology/ behavioral medicine and what's it actually like to be in this specialty (from my uneducated cursory view it seems to be a highly specialized health psychology specialty???). I'm a...

I am about to enter internal medicine rotation/ residency with 28 hours shift with no or minimal sleep. How can I maintain my concentration and performance in such sleep-deprived and heavy workload environment?

From the Discussion section.... “During the most intense learning period of their lives, medical students and residents are rarely able to maintain regular sleep schedules due to their high workload and are therefore often sleep-deprived and/or suffer from poor sleep quality (Curcio et al...

Hey guys, So i'm in a giant pickle. I'm 20 y/o and the hotel that i was supposed to stay at tonight won't allow me to check in because of their 21 & older policy. I was wondering if anybody had a place I could crash at with them? I am willing to pay half/(whatever percent you want me to pay)...

Has anyone come across an app or a website that will schedule optimal sleeping periods for you after you enter in your work/lecture schedule? By "optimal," I mean sleeping periods that last the right number of hours while also providing the most gradual transitions when going from day shifts to...

Hi all, I'm slowly building an arsenal for reading up on my patientseach night. That "100 papers to read in years 1-2" seems good. Does anyone have a good resource on sleep disorders? Journals, a chapter in textbooks, one page guidebook, etc. Google is failing me in this regard.

Hello :) (http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forums/step-i.27/create-thread) This article details a theory about adenosine role in regulating sleeping, it suggests that glycogen consuming causes the buildup of adenosine in brain, but isn't ADP reused to make ATP? Or does it undergo chemical...

Hello :) I'm gonna type my question first, then give a little details about it.... My question is: Is adenosine regulated by circadian rhythm? Here's why I asked this question: After long morning at college during summer semester, I feel really tired, and I really need to get some sleep!! I...

I've seen a lot of comments here about how the max hours varies per state. OSHA is a national regulating body and the regulations say: "No one shall knowingly be permitted or required to work while the employee's ability or alertness is so impaired by fatigue, illness, or other causes that it...

Hey guys, I'm a premed student that wanted to take a nap on my books one day and came up with a cool solution to make my sleeping a little more comfortable, a study pillow that can easily fit into your backpack! The hope is that this might provide maybe a few extra bucks for med school. Check...
