[Health] SENTINEL BEHAVIOR
#1
SENTINEL BEHAVIOR
I heard an interesting discussion today about why some people may be predisposed to sleep interruptions and/or light sleep behaviors. It might be a useful concept to consider as an adjunct to sleeping disorders. It is known as "sentinel behavior" and it is often exhibited by parents with newborn children and those who care for others and sensitive to their potential need for assistance during the night.

What I found most surprising is that those who are actively using some form of xPAP therapy still have the behavior and that can account for less than restful sleep.

Just thought I would pass it along.
