Other examples of this sort of activity are sleeptalking and night terrors. They are techinically disorders of incomplete arousal. Activities such as eating, dressing or even driving cars have also been recorded as taking place while the subjects are technically asleep.

Most cases of sleepwalking, however, usually consist of walking, without the conscious knowledge of the subject. Sleepwalking is a disorder characterized by complicated actions that result in walking during sleep. Sleepwalkers engage in their activities with their eyes open so they can navigate their surroundings, not with their

What is Acrophobia (Fear of Height) ?

[Extracted from About.Com's website] Acrophobia is defined as a fear of heights. It is different from aerophobia (fear of flying), as well as other similar specific phobias, because this fear is more generalized. Depending on the phobia's severity, an acrophobic person may equally fear being on a high floor of a building, climbing a ladder and any other activity that involves being at height. Acrophobia and Vertigo Acrophobia is sometimes confused with vertigo . Vertigo is a specific medical condition that causes a sensation of spinning and dizziness. The fear caused by acrophobia can sometimes cause a similar feeling, but the two conditions are not the same. If you experience a sensation of vertigo, it is important to see a doctor for tests. Medical tests may include bloodwork, CT scans and MRIs , which can rule out a variety of neurological conditions. Only a medical professional can determine the cause of vertigo.

What is Lunula ?

[Extracted from Wisegeek.com website] The white crescent–shaped area located at the base of fingernails and toenails is known as the lunula . Differences in the shape, form, or color of lunulae can be indicative of injury or a serious health issue, such as a deficiency, infection, or disease. Medical attention should be sought when persistent changes in lunulae, or nail moons, occur. The lunula is the only visible part of the nail matrix, or the living part of the fingernail, and appears white in color. In healthy individuals, lunulae are visible on all larger nails, except on the smallest or pinky. A majority of the nail matrix is positioned underneath and behind the actual nail bed . Responsible for producing the protein keratin , which forms the nail plate, the nail matrix is vulnerable to injury. When the nail is injured, the nail matrix can become damaged resulting in lunula discoloration and hindered nail growth. Lunulae are considered reliable indicators for

What is a Dumbcane plant ?

Dumb Cane is the common name of the tropical plant of the genus Dieffenbachia and the family Araceae . Seguine and Amoena are two of the most well-known species of this plant. The Dumb Cane is referred to as The King of Plants, as it's a large and hearty plant that doesn't need a lot of light to grow well. The Dumb Cane is tall with long, pattered leaves. If the plant grows so tall that it looks too spindly, the top may be cut back in most cases. The Dumb Cane often grows up to at least six feet (1.829 m) tall. The leaves are dark green with distinctive v-shaped pale yellow or cream patterns. Some species have spotted patterns. The Dumb Cane has remained one of the most popular houseplants in the United States since the 19th century as it can grow well in shade and any type of lighting conditions. A well-drained soil is often recommended for growing Dumb Canes. Although the Dumb Cane is a favorite houseplant, it is not the best for smaller children and curiou

What is Heartburn ?

Heartburn is a painful condition involving the upper digestive system, not the heart itself. Because the pain often radiates from the central chest region, some sufferers confuse the symptoms of heartburn with a heart attack. Heartburn is actually the result of stomach acids reacting strongly to certain foods during digestion. A small amount of stomach acid is forced up the unprotected esophagus and the resultant chemical burn causes moderate to severe pain. Under ordinary circumstances, the esophagus which leads from the mouth to the stomach should not be exposed to stomach acids. The stomach itself contains a layer of mucus which protects its lining from the powerful digestive juices. The esophagus has no such protection, but it does have a sphincter muscle near the stomach which should work as a one-way valve . If this sphincter becomes weak or overwhelmed, stomach contents can be forced back up the esophagus and cause burns. This condition is called GERD

What is DEET ?

[Extracted from Wisegeek.com] DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) is arguably the most widely recommended active ingredient in insect repellents. Proven effective, DEET does not kill insects. Instead it prevents biting insects like mosquitoes and ticks from zeroing in on your skin. Biting insects follow the scent of carbon dioxide gas to find a meal. Skin and breath naturally give off a carbon dioxide . By spreading a small amount of DEET on exposed skin and applying it to external clothing, insects cannot readily locate the source of the carbon dioxide. Each year about 30 million Americans use products containing DEET . Its greatest benefit is in repelling disease-bearing insects, like deer ticks that can transmit Lyme disease , and mosquitoes that can transmit encephalitis and West Nile virus. It also benefits those exposed to insects that might be carrying malaria , dengue fever and other diseases. Studies found that a concentration of 23.8% DEET successfully repelled mosqui
