Happy 2nd Anniversary to SleepyHeadCENTRAL!


I'm so grateful for the support SHC receives from its followers, as well as the volume of sharing of its posts, the interactions I get to have with readers, and the opportunity I am afforded everyday to help ordinary people find solutions to problems with sleep... something so critical to a well-lived, healthy, happy life. 

You can expect more fun in the next year, including a yet-to-be-revealed book title for release in 2017! For those who subscribe to SHC's free, occasional newsletter, a 10 percent discount on all of its original titles for sale in 2017 is just one of the benefits. Subscribe here!

SHC is also out there on the web in all your favorite places!

Come find and follow SHC! Let me know what SHC has done right, what SHC has failed at, or what SHC should be doing to help you make the best healthcare decisions you can for yourself and your loved ones. I'm all ears!

Finally, we're looking to move into some new directions: 

Multimedia: If you are someone with a skill set in video editing, podcasting, or other multimedia content development, and you want to partner with us on a future project, contact me directly. 
Sponsors, angels, and volunteers: As SHC grows and expands, resources shrink. It's run chiefly by me alone, the curator, and while I can invest in services to help with this growth and expansion, I do not make any money from the production of SHC, so every expense comes out of my own pocket. 
Now is the time for me to connect with those who really believe in the SHC mission, and who want to help invest in its future. Might this be you? You could be a business owner, a doctor, a marketing expert, an artist, an activist, a caregiver... or a straight-up donor.
I have an early adopter mindset, embrace out-of-the-box thinking, and am wide open to ideas, offers, and advice. Give me a nudge!
Thank you again for your encouragement. Sleep well, everybody!

~Tamara Sellman RPSGT CCSH, curator

WHAT'S HAPPENING: Hypersomnia: When sleeping too much is not a good thing


 SPOTLIGHT: WHEN WE SLEEP TOO MUCH
The media has done a fine job of pushing the critical message that we, as a culture, are sleep deprived. It's true: between untreated sleep disorders, insomnia, mental health concerns, and poor sleep hygiene, our record for getting adequate sleep, night after night, is dismal, on the whole.

But there is such a thing as sleeping too much. Not because of poor sleep hygiene, or emotional problems, but because of a distinct and legitimate category of sleep disorders known collectively as hypersomnia. 

People with hypersomnia―idiopathic hypersomnia, narcolepsy with or without cataplexy, Kleine-Levin Syndrome (Sleeping Beauty Syndrome), and general hypersomnia caused by other factors―suffer from distinctively different levels of severity when it comes to their daytime sleepiness. 

They are not "lucky" because they get more sleep, and they cannot simply drink a cup of coffee and walk it off. They also sometimes have trouble sleeping at night, just like the rest of us, making it that much harder for them to live full, healthy lives. 

They suffer from chronic and often incurable problems whose symptoms and causes are biologically distinctive from the kind of somnolence we experience due to sleep deprivation. 

This week's links were published or updated been 3.22.16 and 8.25.16.
