Asthma and Sleep
People with asthma often suffer from nighttime coughing, wheezing and breathlessness that disturb their sleep. This is not clear whether there is a circadian rhythm factor (a circadian rhythm is a rhythm of biological functions occurring in a 24-hour periodic cycle) responsible for these nighttime disturbances or whether sleep in some way contributes to them, but studies designed to uncover the exact influence of sleep or circadian rhythms on asthma have been largely inconclusive.
Even so, lots of researchers believe that asthmatic symptoms are at least partly due to circadian rhythms and use the term "nocturnal asthma" to describe the phenomenon of asthma symptoms worsening at night. Not every asthma sufferer experiences nocturnal asthma.
Those, who really should discuss their symptoms with their doctor in order to develop a treatment plan that addresses the nighttime condition.
People who have asthma should also be aware that nocturnal asthma is associated with more severe disease and increased mortality.
Craniopathy and Sleep
Craniopathy is a specialized field in chiropractic focusing on the health benefits of micro-motion in the bones of the skull (cranium), its distortions and resulting ill effects? Such a gentle and exquisitely relaxing technique stimulates micro-motion within the cranial bones, enhancing circulation of the cerebro-spinal fluid (C.S.F.). C.S.F. transports nutrition, removes waste products and provides an ideal and essential medium for nerve signal conduction.
