Sueño…
Si pudieras llegar a mí,
por fin,
en mitad de esta madrugada,
envolverme,
con tu suave manto de olvido,
llevarme, secuestrarme,
bajo la brillante luz de las estrellas
que centellean esta noche
sobre mi cabeza…
Si quisiera mi inquieto cerebro
rendirse,
a tus dulces tretas,
y toda yo abandonarme
a ese leve parpadeo
que a veces me parece
que dura tu reinado…
¡Oh, sueño!
Si por fin vinieras
y borraras la angustia
de este ahora repleto
de disparatadas ocurrencias
acerca de un mañana nonato.
Si por fin vinieras…
y yo sucumbiera
a tus artes y encantos:
Millares de minúsculas estrellas
chisporretearían alegres,
en lo más recóndito
de mi alma,
y mi oculto corazón aventurero
se regocijaría, nuevamente,
enredándose en galaxias
de posibles imposibles
más allá de todo
lo que pueda ser medido
etiquetado, pesado
o contado,
mucho más allá
de donde el ser humano
pueda posar la maldad,
la crueldad,la tristeza,
la soledad,
el desemparo…
y el desencanto.

Narcolepsy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Narcolepsy /ˈnɑrkəˌlɛpsi/, also known as hypnolepsy, is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally.[1] People with narcolepsy often experience disturbed nocturnal sleep and an abnormal daytime sleep pattern, which often is confused with insomnia. Narcoleptics, when falling asleep, generally experience the REM stage of sleep within 5 minutes, while most people do not experience REM sleep until an hour or so later.
One of the many problems that some narcoleptics experience is cataplexy, a sudden muscular weakness brought on by strong emotions (though many people experience cataplexy without having an emotional trigger).
Narcolepsy is a neurological sleep disorder. It is not caused by mental illness or psychological problems. It is most likely affected by a number of genetic mutations and abnormalities that affect specific biologic factors in the brain, combined with an environmental trigger during the brain's development, such as a virus.
The term narcolepsy derives from the French word narcolepsie created by the French physician Jean-Baptiste-Édouard Gélineau by combining the Greek νάρκη (narkē, "numbness" or "stupor"), and λῆψις (lepsis), "attack" or "seizure".
This is a photo from a series I am starting to increase awareness for the sleep disorder Narcolepsy. I am trying to show visually, the life of a narcoleptic or person with a sleep disorder. This is a self portrait showing just one change I have made since obtaining narcolepsy; I have to sit when showering because I run the risk of slipping and falling when standing. I have been required to sit when bathing for the last three years.
In addition to this visual example of Narcolepsy, I need more volunteers willing to be photographed for my project. With your efforts, we can help raise awareness and enhance education about sleep disorders. Please message me if you are interested or want more information.
I photographed this image with the Canon 6D using the eos application on my android device and set the camera to a 2 second timer. The lighting is just the florescent light from my bathroom, all constant. And all the editing was done in Lightroom with the VSCO Film Pack 6.

I have been looking through my lightroom catalog and finding a lot of work that has been finished but never published. There are a lot of photos I have not shown anyone. Because of this I have made it my goal to post photos on a daily or almost daily basis.
I am also considering a 365 self portrait project. I am unsure if I am ready to take on that challenge but we will see. The year is closing to an end and I have to make this decision shortly. Keep an eye out, big things are coming. :)

A-Z through the DSM IVr
I: Insomnia
Insomnia is most often defined by an individual's report of sleeping difficulties. While the term is sometimes used in sleep literature to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, insomnia is often defined as a positive response to either of two questions: "Do you experience difficulty sleeping?" or "Do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?"
Thus, insomnia is most often thought of as both a sign and a symptom that can accompany several sleep, medical, and psychiatric disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor quality. Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. One definition of insomnia is "difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep, or nonrestorative sleep, associated with impairments of daytime functioning or marked distress for more than 1 month."
Insomnia can be classified as transient, acute, or chronic.
Transient insomnia lasts for less than a week. It can be caused by another disorder, by changes in the sleep environment, by the timing of sleep, severe depression, or by stress. Its consequences - sleepiness and impaired psychomotor performance - are similar to those of sleep deprivation.
Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of less than a month.
Chronic insomnia lasts for longer than a month. It can be caused by another disorder, or it can be a primary disorder. Its effects can vary according to its causes. They might include muscular fatigue, hallucinations, and/or mental fatigue; but people with chronic insomnia often show increased alertness. Some people that live with this disorder see things as if they are happening in slow motion, wherein moving objects seem to blend together. Can cause double vision.

Why We Need Sleep
If you have ever felt foggy after a poor night’s sleep, it won’t surprise you that sleep significantly impacts brain function. First, a healthy amount of sleep is vital for “brain plasticity,” or the brain’s ability to adapt to input. If we sleep too little, we become unable to process what we’ve learned during the day and we have more trouble remembering it in the future. Researchers also believe that sleep may promote the removal of waste products from brain cells—something that seems to occur less efficiently when the brain is awake.Tips for Better Sleep
Good sleep habits (sometimes referred to as “sleep hygiene”) can help you get a good night’s sleep.
Some habits that can improve your sleep health:
-Be consistent. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends
-Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature
-Remove electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, and smart phones, from the bedroom
-Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime
-Get some exercise. Being physically active during the day can help you fall asleep more easily at night.
Sleep is vital to the rest of the body too. When people don’t get enough sleep, their health risks rise. Symptoms of depression, seizures, high blood pressure and migraines worsen. Immunity is compromised, increasing the likelihood of illness and infection. Sleep also plays a role in metabolism: Even one night of missed sleep can create a prediabetic state in an otherwise healthy person.

The aim of the book is to provide a comprehensive General Practice text book which takes a contemporary, integrative approach to diagnosis, investigation and management of health issues and disease states encountered in the general practice environment. The book covers the philosophy underpinning general practice in the 21st Century, and deals with primary and secondary prevention as well as acute and chronic disease management.
General Practice: The Integrative Approach informs doctors as fully as possible about potential treatment and prevention options, as well as potential pitfalls according to the growing evidence base in this area. The book is directed at best practice rather than alternative practice. The first section of the textbook lays the foundations and principles of Integrative Medicine and the second section examines important medical conditions in a systems based approach.
Each chapter begins by detailing the medical and consulting knowledge required of a standard GP text, discussing physiology and pharmacological management plans of systems-based conditions. The chapter then leads into an evidence-based discussion of the therapeutic options available for the treatment of associated factors, essentially providing practitioners with the knowledge required to adapt their approach to meet the needs of the individual patient.
A national panel of experts with experience in Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, naturopathy, and exercise therapy have contributed to their various fields of expertise to incorporate management plans that utilise a variety of therapeutic modalities to achieve the best clinical outcome.
Incorporates evidence-based and safe therapies including conventional medical care, lifestyle interventions, complementary therapies.
Approach is holistic in focus
Focuses on prevention and health promotion
Symptomatic layout matches the approach of contemporary medical curriculum
Each therapeutic modality and therapeutics contributor will be allocated an icon, throughout the book the icon will appear near the corresponding therapeutics text for easy modality reference
Unique chapter – Integrative Medicine and the Law – covering medico-legal issues.

"Narcolepsy is a sleep condition which is thought to either be a neurological or auto-immune disease. In people with Narcolepsy, they are missing Hypocretin, the chemical in your brain that controls wakefulness and the cognitive ability to go through all of the sleep cycles. Having Narcolepsy essentially guarantees excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep attacks, insomnia, and for some of us, cataplexy. Cataplexy happens to me when I laugh too hard; my knees give out and I fall to the ground. Excessive daytime sleepiness is the symptom I struggle with the most. I have to take Nuvigil in the morning, it helps me to stay awake throughout the day and prevents sleep attacks. Although it doesn’t prevent sleepiness one hundred percent, it allows me to be more cognitively aware and I have to take less naps. When that is not enough, which it usually isn’t on an intensive school day, I can take Adderall throughout the day as well. My most important medication is Xyrem. Xyrem is an extremely potent sleep medication. It was a game changer for my treatment. It is a liquid I take at bedtime that makes me drowsy within twenty minutes, and then I wake up in the middle of the night to take a second dose. With Xyrem, you can essentially control your hours of sleep, and when it wears off in the morning, it was the reverse effect; it actually helps you wake up. These medications affect me in a way that allows me to function in the way “normal” people do. Basically, I can be awake during the day and sleep at night, which if I wasn’t medicated, I wouldn’t be able to do. I’d be considered nocturnal without medication. Narcolepsy has affected my everyday life by making it extremely difficult to get out of bed, difficult to do well in school, difficult to show emotion, and most of all difficult to be understood. Because of having Narcolepsy, I have struggled to have the social life most high school and college kids have. I have struggled to trust that people will look past my condition and want to befriend me even though a lot of times I have to cancel plans because I’m too tired. I have struggled to deal with all of the extra symptoms that come along with the disease. These extra symptoms include, but aren’t limited to: depression, anxiety, feeling hopeless and alone, feeling completely misunderstood, and being treated like you’re lazy. Usually I don’t tell people I have Narcolepsy. I’m pretty good at managing my symptoms. When people become closer to me and they start realizing that I’m “different,” then either people feel extremely bad for me and want to do anything they can, or people think I have no personality and that I’m uninteresting, boring, lazy, or lying to get sympathy. Narcolepsy doesn’t necessarily make me who I am, but it definitely affects my ability to be who I can and want to be. The difference from high school and now is that I don’t let the disability stop me from reaching my goals, and I certainly don’t let people speak poorly of me. If people do speak poorly of me or my abilities, I will stand up for myself and I will no longer let their words come between me and what I wish to obtain. I can accomplish anything now due to the struggles of having Narcolepsy. Thankfully, I am able to carry that mentality into just about anything I do now. That’s how Narcolepsy has helped make me who I am. The only time I am embarrassed about having Narcolepsy is when people tell me I am lazy, and I am genuinely afraid to explain that there is a reason. Nowadays, less people call me lazy though, because there is more and more proof coming from me that I am not lazy at all. Its also a little embarrassing when people make fun of me for having no personality. Those who know me well know that I do have a personality; they also know that I am exhausted when I don’t show much of my personality, which is a lot of the time and I cannot control how often or severe it is. I think society has painted the picture that everyone needs to push their bodies to their limit. We all seem to think that every waking moment must be spent cognitively aware and functioning. Most people have a picture of Narcolepsy that is an old person nodding off while they’re watching TV, but some Narcoleptics are diagnosed before they are even five years old. I can’t wait for the day that society will get it out of their head that everyone has to function the same way. When that day comes, I will be able to come off all medication and let my body be the way it intends: asleep during the day and awake at night. If that day never comes, it would at least be nice for there to be a drug that actually cures Narcolepsy. Most people believe it is a mental illness that should be treated with counseling and that it is hormonal, and one day we’ll just grow out of it, that’s not the way it works. Narcolepsy is the same as having Type 1 diabetes, or any other condition that is due to the absence of something in your body that cannot ever naturally be replaced, only treated. I often get the question, “Well, have you tried turning off your television before bed, drinking coffee, taking melatonin, taking Benadryl, Nyquil, Tylenol PM?” Society just won’t accept that this condition is much more serious. It is the absence of a chemical from your brain, not an inability to clear your mind before bedtime or being too weak to stay awake during the day. It is so important for people to just be who they are because if you pretend you are something you’re not, or you ignore your own health, it will lead you down a miserable road where every moment is spent in regret and attempts to explain yourself. No one should have to explain themselves; acceptance should be as easy as breathing. The most important thing at the end of the day is yourself, you’re all you really have. So there is no greater importance than being one hundred percent you, even if you do struggle to fit societies’ standards. Who is society to judge who you are or what you’re capable of anyway? Even though I have this disease, I am capable of anything anyone else is."
