Sorry for the multitude of questions, but...
Are circadian rhythm disorders (e.g. jet lag) considered as a parasomnia or dysomnia or neither??
cause on one of my exams I have a 10 marker asking to explain the difference between dysomnias and parasomnias w/ reference to an example and I was wondering if I could talk about jet lag and shift work etc. and if not what else I could talk about for 10 marks?
Circadian phase disorders aren't considered either
Things to discuss:
-what is a dysomnia
-what is sleep onset insomnia
-what negative impacts can it have
-how can it be treated
-sleep hygiene
-what is a parasomnia
-what is sleepwalking
-when is it most likely to occur
-what negative impacts can it have
-what ages is it most common for
-parasomnia can lead to dysomnia but not the other way around
Remember that the response isn't scored in the usual dot-point method, and instead high-med-low
