Sleepsitting
Overview Sleepsitting, also known as somnamsedens, is when people sit (or attempt to lie) down while asleep. It's more common in children than adults. Children usually outgrow sleepsitting by the teen years. Sleepsitting that happens once in a while often isn't a serious problem and doesn't need treatment. But sleepsitting that happens a lot may suggest an underlying sleep disorder.

Have you ever experienced the captivating yet perplexing dynamics between light and shadow, empathy and narcissism? Within this intricate landscape, dark empaths and narcissists stand out as compelling and enigmatic figures, each characterized by a distinct array of traits and behaviours.

Breaking down Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD for short, is a neurodevelopmental condition that involves ongoing issues with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The symptoms stem from executive dysfunction, which means there's a hiccup in how the brain manages and controls thought processes. There are three main types of ADHD based on these symptoms: the predominantly inattentive type, which is all about a lack of focus; the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type, where there's a lot of activity and acting on impulse; and the combined type, which mixes both sets of symptoms and is the most common, affecting about 62% of people with ADHD. Signs of inattention might include frequently missing details or making silly mistakes, struggling to stay focused on tasks or conversations even without distractions, not following instructions, having trouble organizing tasks, misplacing things, and being forgetful. Interestingly, females often show more signs of inattention and distractibility rather than hyperactivity. On the flip side, hyperactive-impulsive symptoms can involve difficulty sitting still, fidgeting, talking non-stop (including interrupting others), or having a hard time waiting for turns, like in a queue. As people age, these symptoms can evolve.
