Surgery
Weight loss
Position changes

Strongly linked to CV disease (HTN, ischemic heart disease, CVA) and to cognitive impairments (attention deficit, impaired concentration, memory problems)
Judicious use of sedatives (hypnotics, ETOH)

30
Q

hyper-somnolence: hypersomnia

crawling, or tingling
sensation
No known cure
Massage, walking, stretching seems to help
Leads to chronic sleep loss
