| ARTICLES RELATED TO Sleep Paralysis | | | |  Sleep Paralysis: Encyclopedia II - Narcolepsy - DiagnosisDiagnosis is relatively easy when all the symptoms of narcolepsy are present. But if the sleep attacks are isolated and cataplexy is mild or absent, diagnosis is more difficult.
Two tests that are commonly used in diagnosing narcolepsy are the polysomnogram and the multiple sleep latency test. These tests are usually performed by a sleep specialist. The polysomnogram involves continuous recording of sleep brain waves and a number of nerve and muscle functions during nighttime sleep. When tested, people with narcolepsy fall asleep rapi ...

| | | | | | Sleep Paralysis: Encyclopedia II - Narcolepsy - Research Studies supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are trying to increase understanding of what causes narcolepsy and improve physicians' ability to detect and treat the disease. Scientists are studying narcolepsy patients and families, looking for clues to the causes, course, and effective treatment of this sleep disorder.
Recent discovery of families of dogs that are naturally afflicted with narcolepsy has been of great help in these studies. Some of the specific questions being addressed in NIH-supported studies are the n ...

| | | | | Sleep Paralysis: Encyclopedia II - Narcolepsy - Coping with narcolepsy Learning as much about narcolepsy as possible and finding a support system can help patients and families deal with the practical and emotional effects of the disease, possible occupational limitations, and situations that might cause injury. A variety of educational and other materials are available from sleep medicine or narcolepsy organizations.
Support groups exist to help persons with narcolepsy and their families.
Individuals with narcolepsy, their families, friends, and potential employers should know that:

| | | | | Sleep Paralysis: Encyclopedia II - Narcolepsy - Treatment Several treatments are available for narcolepsy. These treat the symptoms, not the underlying cause. The drowsiness is normally treated using stimulants such as methylphenidate (Ritalin®), amphetamines (Adderall®), dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine®), methamphetamine (Desoxyn®), modafinil (Provigil®), etc. Other medications used are codeine and selegiline. In many cases, planned regular short naps can reduce the need for pharmacological treatment of the EDS to a low or non-existent level. The cataplexy is treated using clomipramine, impramin ...

| | | | | | Sleep Paralysis: Encyclopedia II - Narcolepsy - Prevalence of narcolepsy It is estimated that there are as many as 3 million people worldwide affected by narcolepsy. In the United States it is estimated that narcolepsy afflicts as many as 200,000 Americans, but fewer than 50,000 are diagnosed. It is as widespread as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis and more prevalent than cystic fibrosis, but it is less well known. Narcolepsy is often mistaken for depression, epilepsy, or the side effects of medications.
Narcolepsy can occur in both men and women at any age, although its symptoms are usually first ...

False memory - Sexual abuse.
False memory has figured prominently in many investigations and court cases, including cases of alleged sexual abuse.
The 1980s saw a wave of child abuse accusations based on recovered memories, resulting in the imprisonment of some accused parents. Some of these convictions were reversed in the 1990s, and there are cases in which recovered-memory therapists have been successfully sued ...

Others have elected not to try explaining things, instead noting similarities to other phenomena, or simply documenting the development of the alien abduction phenomenon.
Some have argued that alien abduction is a literal phenomenon: extraterrestrials kidnap humans in order to conduct studies or experiments. This is a well-known popular explanation, but has seen ve ...

| | | | | Sleep Paralysis: Encyclopedia II - Abduction phenomenon - Overview While few mainstream scientists believe the phenomenon literally occurs as reported—some experts contend the field is rife with kooks and pseudoscience—there is little doubt that many apparently sincere persons report alien abductions they believe are utterly genuine. Stigma and self-doubt may be obstacles to more widespread study and/or reporting. Local support groups for people who have experienced the phenomenon are not uncommon. The "terror abduction" experience is reported mainly in the USA, while in the rest of the world, the ET encounters are benevolent rai ...

| | | | | Sleep Paralysis: Encyclopedia II - Cerebral palsy - Imaging Findings
Cerebral palsy - Soft Tissue.
Soft tissue findings consist largely of decreased muscle mass.
Cerebral palsy - Bones.
In order for bones to attain their normal shape and size, they require the stresses from normal musculature. The osseous findings will therefore mirror the specific muscular deficits in a given patient. The shafts of the bones are often thin (gracile). When compared to these thin shafts (diaphyses) the metaphyses often appear quite enlarged (ballooning). With lack of use, articular carti ...

| | | | | Sleep Paralysis: Encyclopedia II - Popo Bawa - Origin and history As legendary creatures go, Popo Bawa is a fairly recent story. A popular origin story of Popo Bawa proposes that in the 1970s an angry shiek released a djinni to take vengeance on his neighbors. The shiek lost control of the djinni, who took to demonic ways.
It is said because of Zanzibar's past as an Arab-run slave market, the story of Popo Bawa is an articulated memory of the horrors of slavery. Many of the legends on Zanzibar came from the colonizers and traders of the past, including Arabs, Portuguese, Hindus, Chinese, Britons, Pe ...
