It measures the health of the brain. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test to measure the electrical activity of the brain. The brain has hypocretin or orexin which is a neurotransmitter responsible for sleep, eating, and more.
Drowsy Driving
Driving and feeling sleepy. Repetitive tasks make you sleepy because you already lack sleep. You have taken your calcium and magnesium and melatonin and the bedroom has cool environment. Still, you have worries and you keep tossing back and forth on your bed. You cannot get the more than 5 hrs sleep. Your regular sleep hours are from 12midnight to 5pm and you cannot seem to add 1 more hour to it. You have a busy day and are driven to perform more and bring work at home.
What is the root cause of insomnia, narcolepsy, depression and Parkinson?
Is it because of poor muscle tone, cataplexy?
Is it because of alcohol, lifestyle, work shift pattern, caffeine, use of sedating medication, anxiety or problems or age?
The root cause if hyprocretin, a brain chemical. Eat happy foods/omega 3 such as yams, eggs, bananas, dates, cherries, hummus, a little MSG in Asian dish and fish. Avoid sugar and eat more fermented veggies (prebiotics and probiotics). Do weight bearing exercise and work in getting more sleep.
If your bedtime is 12midnight, try to calm down by 11pm (repetitive tasks-repetitive prayers/counting – leaving your worries away, no TV light, dim light, cool air, relax). And more at :
