Normally, it is enough to have one night of sleep study to clearly diagnosis severe OSA in patients with sleep-disordered breathing and upper airway pathology. However, the others suffering from the severe OSA would not have been found and many with AHI variability would have been missed. .
Ahmadi et al. (2009) wanted to investigate AHI on two nights due to a concern with variability of the disorder and impact on clinical diagnosis. They conducted polysomnographies with 193 sleep clinic patients over two consecutive nights to analyze AHI variability. Anonymized records from five individuals with significant night-to-night AHI variability participated: the two-night tests from two patients were represented as four individual polysomnographies; the two-night tests for two others were represented as being obtained from two different sleep clinics; the last patient's results were shown as a two-night study. Twenty-two sleep experts at the Associated Professional Sleep Societies meeting diagnosed the…...

Article Review on “Mindfulness Meditation and Improvement in Sleep Quality and Daytime Impairment Among Older Adults with Sleep Disturbances”
Introduction
The article by Black et al. (2015) evaluating sleep patterns, assesses these issues and explores treatment techniques for the three prevalent sleep disorders among the elderly. It also discusses the consequences of geriatric HCPs in clinical practice who are caretakers of the older population living within communities. The authors argue that treating sleep problems remains essential in alleviating chronic health complications, lowering health costs, and increasing health and wellness of individuals, particularly, the elderly. The following study explores the presented argument by considering the evidence and interprets the findings from the authors. Moreover, it points out the application of the results in resolving issues. Sleep-related disorders emerging from psychological and health problems may be addressed adequately through preventive and curative measures translating to positive outcomes for patients and the society.

Sleep Hygiene Plan for a 65-Year Old Client
For most adults, seven to eight hours of sleep is sufficient for a good rest. This also applies to older adults aged 65 years or more. As one gets older, a change in sleeping patterns could emerge. These changes could result in insomnia whereby a person experiences trouble sleeping. Moreover, a 65-year-old could experience other changes that include waking up early in the morning, difficulties in sleeping after waking up in the middle of the night, and early tiredness in the evening. Other psychiatric and medical issues could affect nighttime sleep for adults aged 65. Nonetheless, individuals without major illnesses could enjoy a better sleep. Designing a sleep hygiene plan remains critical in addressing the changing sleep patterns in a 65-year-old person that consequently promotes overall body wellness.

Introduction
The purpose of this study was two-fold: 1) it aimed to identify relationships between sleep and other aspects of human functioning/performance; and 2) it sought to understand how sleep-wake patterns impact daytime functioning. The subject of this research was the researcher himself. The researcher kept a 4 week sleep diary with which to record information pertaining to sleep habits and daily life habits in order to test the conclusions of Bower, Bylsma, Morris and Rottenberg (2010) regarding their findings that poor reported sleep quality is predictive of low positive affects in daily life among persons of both healthy and disordered mindsets. Having a healthy mind, the researcher aimed to evaluate the extent to which sleep quality impacted his overall quality of life.

Questions to Ask the Patient
Would you be interested in recording your late night TV shows and watching them in the day if it means you can get to sleep earlier and be more wakeful during the daytime? If not
Would you be interested in asking your morning nurse to arrive later and if she is unable to do so would you be interested in making other arrangements for a nurse who can better accommodate your schedule? If not
Would you be interested in conducting a type of therapy that utilizes your enjoyment of receiving faxes during the day -- something like dignity therapy or spirituality therapy, which can have positive impacts on mood and outlook (Azizi, Azizi, Abedi et al., 2016)?

This paper investigates the unique business needs of this business as well as the challenges of engaging the surrounding community, its employees as well as clients on the health benefits of sleep as well as the necessity for the identification as well as treatment of various sleep disorders. The safety needs of the participant are also taken into consideration and well as the setup and running costs.
A sleep disorder is noted by Al Ghamdi (2009) to be a medical disorder of a person's sleep patterns and is a serious condition that affects an individual's normal mental, physical as well as emotional functions. Most sleep disorders can effectively be diagnosed and treated in a sleep lab or center via a common test referred to as polysomnogram (Patil,2010).

Sticking to a regular sleep timetable -- going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off strengthens ones sleep-wake sequence and helps encourage better sleep at night.

Bipolar I disorder is an axis 1 clinical disorder in the DSM-IV and is a serious mental illness that can lead to suicidal ideation or action. The history of bipolar disorder research is a long one, and understanding of the disease has deepened considerably over the last several generations. Diagnosis of bipolar disorder 1 is complicated by its resemblance to other mood disorders, mainly major depression but also psychotic disorders like schizophrenia. esearch is revealing new treatment interventions that are targeted to the biological needs of bipolar patients, as antidepressants are often or usually contraindicated. A Christian worldview suggests that individualized treatment plans take into account the family history and patient's lifestyle when recommending a treatment plan.

Irregular Sleep-Wake Syndrome is a form of a psychological disorder also called Irregular Sleep-Wake hythm. People with Irregular Sleep-Wake Syndrome have non-aligned sleep times. These people have sleeping patterns that do not adhere to the "normal" times of sleeping at night. The sleeping patterns are disorganized to a magnitude that one cannot tell the presence of a clear sleep or wake pattern. Such people have a tendency to sleep off on some naps over a 24-hour period. The sleep patterns have been split into pieces. They behave like infants who sleep for a few hours, wake up for some other few hours, and also sleep off for some few hours, with the cycle repeating with no clear sequence. During the day, the number of sleep times may be high since they like napping a lot. During the night, they seem to suffer from…...

17% of men and 13% of women have experienced more than three traumatic events in their lives, and the onset of PTSD is generally based on the degree and the extent of the trauma, and the duration, and the type. For example, when there is a rape, then there is a 49% chance that the women will experience PTSD, and when there is a physical assault, it would be 31.9%. For sexual assault, the percentage would be 23.7 and when the person has been in an accident, and then the percentage would be 16.8%. (What is PTSD?)
Other traumatic events may be a child's life threatening illness, or a natural disaster, or a witness or a victim of a shooting or a stabbing, and so on. (What is PTSD?)

Attention-Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
According to the American Psychiatric Association Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD) is now referred to as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD. However, most lay people and some professionals will still refer to the condition as ADD, which are the names given to the condition in 1980. ADHD has been around for a longer period than most people actually recall or realize. Hippocrates, who lived from 460 to 370 BC, described a condition similar to ADHD. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorder where there are substantial problems with executive functions that cause hyperactivity, attention deficits, or impulsiveness, which is inappropriate for the person's age. In order for a diagnosis to be made for the condition, the symptoms of ADHD must persist for six months or more. According to (McGoey et al., 2014), they define ADHD as a condition that causes a person to have trouble focusing on…...

Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Background/Definition/Epidemiology
Humans have a natural response to survival, stress and fear. Such responses enable an individual to pursue pertinent objectives and respond accordingly to the presence of danger. The 'flight or fight' response in a healthy individual is provoked via a real challenge or threat and is utilized as a means of acting appropriately to the situation. However, when an anxiety disorder manifests in someone, then an inappropriate/excessive state of arousal develops. People then feel symptoms of fear, apprehension, or uncertainty. These feelings or reactions may surface even when no real threat exists.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), is a common anxiety disorder that affects roughly 5% of the United States general population. "GAD is commonly associated with psychiatric and medical comorbidities and is often chronic. GAD is associated with extensive psychiatric and medical utilization and, if left untreated, can cause impairment as severe as major depressive disorder (MDD)" (Schlaepfer &…...

Original Thesis Statement:
Parkinson's disorder is a complex neurodegenerative condition characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms, which significantly impact the quality of life for individuals and their caregivers.
Re-shaped Argumentative Thesis Statement:
Parkinson's disorder is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease that warrants comprehensive and holistic care strategies to effectively manage its multi-faceted symptoms and support the well-being of individuals and their caregivers. This approach should encompass both pharmacological interventions and non-pharmacological therapies, recognizing the importance of addressing both the physical and psychosocial aspects of the condition.
Key Points of Argument:
1. Multi-faceted Nature of Parkinson's Disorder:
Parkinson's disorder is not solely characterized by motor symptoms such as....
