He could never remember anything more then a few days before, and so was continually writing himself notes to tell him who he was etc. Try to find that amusement to help you zone out.Soldier in the Mist, Gene Wolfe, was an excellent book in which the MC had an ongoing amnesia. The term is amusement which properly defined means : to occupy the mind without thought.
My brain knows what to expect and is not stimulated, just entertained. I find it help for the visual and auditory stimulation to be very familiar, almost to the point of being memorized. I can be asleep by the second song with my Celtic Woman DVD's. I also use certain music videos (Celtic Woman) to help me zone out. It does take a concerted effort to find the system that works. I have become quite good at avoiding the anxiety for the past few years. I use a boring TV show to allow me to focus on something besides my sleep issues and let myself drift off to sleep. I often go to sleep in a recliner while watching TV. It has taken me years to get over some of those fears. I know the fear because I lived with a similar fear of going to sleep because of the nightmares and other stressful sleep I would have if I stopped breathing due to my sleep apnea. The brain wants to get things sorted out or it will just continue to overload.Ĭognitive side effects are common to benzos like Ativan. The key function of your brain during sleep is to clean up the previous days desk top of scrap paper with memories written on it and file them away in an organized fashion so there is room on the desk for a next day's worth of memories.Īnxiety makes that heap of scrap paper even more chaotic to sort out. Without this good oxygenated brain functioning, you brain acts like a desk covered with scrap paper notes all mixed up. Your brain needs to sleep with a good supply of oxygen to properly reformat the events of the previous day. Your breathing will have a very big impact on your memory. I doubt your gabapentin dose has any effect on your memory. That is why some of us have turned to Upper Cervical Chiropractors and their much more gentle and focused techniques. Some are overly aggressive with the neck and like to twist and pop more violently that an injured neck may tolerate. The inflammation that can arise from cervical vertebra and the associated connective tissue can come and go with posture and other factors. If a brain stem injury was more than that, you would be permanently disabled by it. They can not see the microscopic damage to cells.īrain stem injuries are often not a severe damage but rather a dysfunction that arises from inflammation in the area. An MRI can only see items the size of a BB or a bit smaller, maybe down to a millimeter if the MRI is high power.
