Thank you, Moby. It is nice to be back in such good company.

drb--Welcome Back! Thank you, SG. It's been a tough year. My father died of Alzheimer's Disease this June, and that was rough. I had identity theft this summer and lost lots of time and money with that. I also had some very bad reactions trying to match up my Provigil and my Mirapex (the latter is ...

Thanks for the great article! One thing I've been thinking about lately is the extent to which a sleep disorder will shape a person over time. If the person eventually gets treatment, there are a number of personality characteristics that have been built over time. I think it will take time to rebu...

I have really gotten into a habit of looking for drB's name in the threads.... Good to hear from you DrB. Been missing your comments. The...

I suspect that it is not you to whom it is beyond . . .

perhaps dr bandage or others could chime in here I'll try to piece together a more cohesive answer than this a bit later, but in a nutshell, SleepGuy's explanation just about nails it.

All sleeping pills, including the blockbusters Ambien and Lunesta, may sometimes cause a bizarre but dangerous side effect — sleep-driving, the Food and Drug Administration warned Wednesday. It's like sleepwalking but behind-the-wheel: driving while not fully awake after using a sleeping aid — with ...
