  • Is there a connection between lack of sleep and constipation?

    There have been studies that link lack of sleep from shift work and constipation that is probably due to no time to use the bathroom!. I wonder if in your case the constipation did not let you sleep... chicken or the egg? READ MORE

  • I may have a serious sleeping disorder?

    There is a condition called REM behavioral disorder that sounds much like your story. The diagnosis is with a sleep study. The causes are many. READ MORE

  • Which is the better option to fix your sleep schedule?

    Since you are 10 years old, you should try to stay on a day time rhythm so you can grow. Gradual is better since you are at risk of napping if you do not make it. The best is not to change your schedule more than 2 hours during vacation, weekends or holidays. READ MORE

  • Premature Ejaculation

    PE has been associated with psychological issues and depression, so SSRI's and psychotherapy have been the main focus, however several studies show that many organic dysfunctions can contribute to the development of PE. Hormonal imbalances, vitamin D deficiency, obesity, DM, metabolic syndrome are some of the one's reported to contribute to the risk. In terms of SSRi's and depression, my approach is to improve the serotonin naturaly by balancing all the neurotransmiters (Dr. Braverman's method) and I use serotonin such as aminoacid precursors and peptides to do so. I do not prescribe SSRI's without genetic testing due to the presence of a gene mutation that if present is associated with serious side effects or lack of efficacy. READ MORE

  • Sleep issues

    The amount of sleep a person requires is the amount of sleep that allows them to wake up refreshed. Having said that, it looks like you might be getting 5-6 hrs of sleep, which could be sufficient. Causes of early morning awakenings include problems like depression, environmental issues, bladder issues, etc. I have been a short sleeper since I was a kid. I get so much done and feel refreshed during the day. Actually I can't wait for the day to start. I think it depends on your perception of the situation. But the best thing to do when you wake up and feel ready for action is to get up. Staying in bed awake would certainly frustrate me. Taking medication to make someone sleep when their body does not need it and feels refreshed after sleep is not something I would recommend. Best. :) READ MORE

  • Sleep Medication

    I am sorry you are going through this. Mirtazapine is an antidepresant. For what you are telling me you are not depressed, except for the statement that you suffer from "depression". I use Dr. Amen's method of neuropsych evaluation and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine evaluation of sleep complaints. I start with a comprehensive questionaire to investigate the root cause and then decide what pertinent tests I need. I consider the use of medications as a temporary measure while I investigate and work towards the goal of reversing the root cause of the complaints. I assess the patient as a whole. The functional medicine triads, the social environment, epigenetics, etc. Where are you located? READ MORE

  • Sleep Issues

    The second thing I do when someone tells me they can't sleep and they do not complain of being tired is to rule out sleep stage misperception. The sleep study will reveal that. The first thing I do is get a sleep diary of at least a week with time and date of all activities and naps, time in bed, etc. READ MORE

  • My BP medicine is causing me to sleep too much. What should I do?

    What is the name of the medication, please? READ MORE

  • Can inadequate sleep cause physical changes in the brain?

    Yes. Lack of sleep can cause brain damage. Sleep is essential to brain recovery. The brain is like a battery that needs charging every night. The good news is that there are many new therapies and protocols that help the brain restore. The most important thing though, is to eliminate the root cause of the problem. READ MORE

  • Sleep insomnia?

    At your age it is common to have a delayed sleep onset and sleep cycle.... teens tend to be night owls... weed will lead to other problems.... or unmask problems... READ MORE

  • Feeling really sick 24/7?

    The clue that your symptoms started around puberty, suggest an hormonal issue.... a thorough evaluation would yield the cause of your ailments, under most circumstances. READ MORE

  • How is sinusitis treated?

    If the sinusitis is due to a bacterial infection, antibiotics would be prescribed. There are other causes of sinusitis, however. READ MORE
