Introduction to sleep medicine 2015

A sleep disorder, or somnipathy, is a medical disorder of the sleep patterns of a person or animal. Some sleep disorders are serious enough to interfere with normal physical, mental and emotional functioning. Polysomnography is a test commonly ordered for some sleep disorders. 

Disruptions in sleep can be caused by a variety of issues, from teeth grinding (bruxism) to night terrors. When a person suffers from difficulty in sleeping with no obvious cause, it is referred to as insomnia. In addition, sleep disorders may also cause sufferers to sleep excessively, a condition known as hypersomnia. Management of sleep disturbances that are secondary to mental, medical, or substance abuse disorders should focus on the underlying conditions. 

 It was great to see knowledge sharing at its best.

Not only did the participants learn a lot from each other, we learned practical skills and the latest technology trends too.

 The philosophy of my insomnia therapy approach is that treating the roots of underlying insomnia causes. In Malaysia, I have excellent therapeutic results in improving insomnia and sleeping disorder related problem. I also use EEG biofeedback, cognitive behavioral therapy and neuro-hypnotherapy to help people. Feel free to drop me a message via email.
