Av sömnprofessorn känd från Skavlan.

Forskare har upptäckt en ny revolutionerande behandling som förlänger ditt liv, förbättrar ditt minne och gör dig mer kreativ. Den håller dig smal och minskar sockersuget. Den skyddar dig mot cancer och demens, parerar influensa och förkylning, minskar risken för hjärtattack,stroke och diabetes. Dessutom gör den dig lyckligare och hjälper mot ångest och depression. Är du intresserad?

Det handlar alltså om sömn. En av de viktigaste delarna av våra liv, men en del vars betydelse vi ständigt förminskar. Tills nyligen har vetenskapen inte heller kunnat svara på varför vi sover och vad sömnen gör med oss.

I Sömngåtan berättar hjärnforskaren och sömnexperten Matthew Walker om de senaste årens banbrytande forskning kring vad som händer när vi sluter ögonen i sängen och varför sömnen både är en mirakelkur och helt livsavgörande. Han förklarar hur sovandet förändras under olika skeden i livet, vad drömmarna gör med oss och hur man bäst får en god natts sömn samt inte minst, varför sömnbristen får sådana katastrofala följder för oss som individer och för vårt moderna, sorgligt sömnsvälta samhälle. Resultatet är en fascinerande bladvändare som faktiskt kan förändra ditt liv.

I Sov gott! får du med kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) hjälpa dig själv att sova bättre, bli piggare och gladare. KBT går ut på att du själv agerar aktivt för att förstå och förändra din situation, till exempel genom att föra sömndagbok, lägga om dina rutiner och lära dig att slappna av. Det handlar kort sagt om att skaffa nya sätt att hantera och se på tillvaron. Genom att göra nytt kommer du också så småningom att tänka nytt. Det är nämligen ofta där skon klämmer när man sover dåligt: man tänker för mycket och man tänker ?fel?. Du klarar till exempel av din dag även om du inte har sovit åtta timmar. Och det är inte alltid sömnbrist som gör att du känner dig trött. Att Sov gott! fungerar för att sova bättre, har visats i flera vetenskapliga studier med mycket goda resultat, både som bok (Jernelöv et al. BMC Psychiatry (2012) 12:5, http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-244X/12/5) och som grupp- och internetförmedlad behandling (Blom et al Behaviour Research and Therapy 70 (2015) 47-55, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0005796715000777). Att genomföra beteendeförändringar på egen hand kan vara krävande, och vill du ha stöd av en KBT-behandlare kan du tala med din vårdcentral eller söka efter behandlare där du bor via www.kbt.nu, men faktum är att det för många fungerar utmärkt att använda Sov Gott! även utan behandlarstöd.

But we have forgotten that our bodies are governed by a 24-hour biological clock which guides us towards the best time to sleep, eat and think.In Life Time, Professor Russell Foster shares his life's work, taking us on a fascinating and surprising journey through the science of our body clocks. Using his own studies, as well as insights from an international community of sleep scientists and biologists studying circadian rhythms, he illustrates the surprising effects the time of day can have on our health, including:- how a walk outside at dawn can ensure a better night's sleep- how eating after sundown can affect our weight- the extraordinary effects the time we take our medication can have on our risk of life-threatening conditions, such as strokesIn the modern world, we have neglected an essential part of our biology.

Harmonizing Our Circadian Rhythms to Optimize Health and Well-Being

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

Work in clinical and laboratory settings has indicated that lack of bright light during the day can compromise mood, accelerate cancer growth, and impair cognition. Even sustained exposure to the equivalent of a child's night light has been shown to have an impact on everything from how well our brains function every day to how well our bodies recover from injury. Professor Randy J. Nelson brings together the most reliable research on the different ways exposure to light at night affects how our bodies function and, ultimately, our health. Each chapter explores the role of light and dark in our bodies' most important regulatory processes.In humans, virtually every aspect of our physiology and behavior is mediated by our internal biological clocks. One feature of modern life that may have negative consequences for our health is exposure to light levels that are not aligned with the 24-hour solar day. Circadian rhythms, the internal biological rhythms of our body's processes, require short wavelength (blue) light early during the day to optimize their temporal regulation. Experiencing light at night or insufficient light during the day can lead to a host of problems such as obesity, major depression, bipolar depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, sleep disorders, cancer, heart disease and more. Dark Matters sets out to shine a light on the health and well-being consequences of poor circadian hygiene and provide strategies to offset the negative health effects of disrupted circadian rhythms.

The book contains practical and well-documented case examples, which are not theoretical but illustrate common patient problems and effective, unparalleled interdisciplinary treatment strategies.There is a disconnect on how health professions perceive and treat the causes of upper airway conditions. Various comorbidities can result from sleep apnea, oxygen deprivation, and upper airway conditions. This book connects oropharyngeal structure to metabolic disease through the practice of teledontics. Teledontics as a new interdisciplinary integrative medical–dental approach for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is emerging rapidly. It relates oxygen needs of the body in addition to other nutritional requirements, focusing on how oxygen insufficiency can lead to multiple health comorbidities.

The Auditory System in Sleep presents for the first time a view of a sensory system working in a different state-that of the sleeping brain. The auditory system is always "open� receiving information from the environment and the body itself (conscious and unconscious data). Even during sleep the auditory information is processed, although in a different way. This book draws information from evoked potentials, fMRI, PET, SPECT, lesions, etc., together with electrophysiological online data in order to depict how the auditory system single unit activity, recorded during sleep, revealed the possibility of sensory information participation in sleep processes. Presents diverse experimental viewpoints from the beginning of classical electroencephalography to the more recent imaging, single units, electro-magneto-encephalography studies, etc. Includes classic data as well as new data based in the existing literature and on the long scientific research lines (auditory and sleep) developed by the author and coworkers on this subject since 1963

Sleep disorder is a rampant problem in the US, with over 40 million Americans currently diagnosed according to the NIH. There is a clear association between sleep disorder and a wide range of other human disorders -performance deficiencies, psychiatric illnesses, heart disease, obesity and more - but in spite of this there is not yet a convenient overview on the market detailing the impact of obesity, age, diabetes and diet on sleep duration and attendant health outcomes. This volume focuses on the interaction between sleep and these factors, with special attention being paid to the potential for neurological modulation of sleep via diet. The volume aid readers in understanding the role each of these factors plays in sleep architecture and its regulation by circadian biology and neurology.

The Auditory System in Sleep, Second Edition presents a view of a sensory system working in a different state, that of the sleeping brain. This updated edition contains new chapters on topics such as implanted deaf patients and sleep and tinnitus treatments. It is written for basic auditory system and sleep researchers, as well as practitioners and clinicians in the Auditory/Sensory Neurosciences and Sleep Medicine. As the auditory system is always "open�, thus receiving information from the environment and the body itself (conscious and unconscious data), the incoming sensory information may alter sleep and waking physiology, and conversely, the sleeping brain.

This book draws information from evoked potentials, fMRI, PET, SPECT, lesions, and more.

Contains new chapters on topics such as implanted deaf patients and sleep and tinnitus treatments during sleep Written for researchers and clinical practitioners in the auditory sciences, sleep medicine and sensory neuroscience

Insomnia and fatigue are two of the most frequent consequences after traumatic brain injury (TBI). About 30% of individuals suffer from chronic insomnia, an additional 20% have symptoms of insomnia, and up to 75% have significant and persistent fatigue. There is a strong empirical basis for the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral interventions for the management of insomnia and fatigue in the general population and in other patient populations, and emerging research shows that these interventions seem applicable with similar benefits to people with TBI. Insomnia and Fatigue After Traumatic Brain Injury: A CBT Approach to Assessment and Treatment is written by a team of four scientist-practitioners in psychology who are experts in sleep medicine, cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Together they have authored this assessment and intervention manual for insomnia and fatigue, intended for clinicians working with the TBI population. Based on cognitive-behavioral principles, the manual integrates evidence-based interventions and techniques used by expert clinicians working with these populations. Throughout the development process, there has been an ongoing integration of the best available research, specialized clinical expertise, and knowledge transfer expertise: all of these perspectives were used to choose, revise, and format the content of the manual as to ensure that it would be most useful for the target audience.

Authored by specialists in sleep medicine, CBT and TBI Covers both assessment and treatment for TBI insomnia and fatigue Contains treatment plans in detail Suitable for inpatient and outpatient settings Appropriate for mild to severe TBI Includes extensive patient handouts

Handbook of Sleep Disorders in Medical Conditions reviews the current knowledge on the nature and manifestations of sleep disorders associated with a variety of common medical conditions, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury and dementia. It also provides clinical guidelines on how to assess and treat them with pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Although the general principles of sleep medicine may be applied to some extent to patients with comorbid medical conditions, this book makes the case that an adaptive approach is warranted when considering the particularities of each condition.

In addition, clinicians must also be cautious when prescribing sleep medications as some pharmacological agents are known to exacerbate symptoms associated with the medical condition, such as cognitive deficits (i.e. difficulties with memory and attention) in cancer patients experiencing chemo brain, or in persons with neurologic conditions (e.g. mild cognitive impairment, dementia, stroke, brain injury). A differential approach to evaluating and treating sleep is thus warranted.
