Idiopathic Hypersomnia and Narcolepsy 2: Subjective Experiences of Stimulant Use
Summary Idiopathic hypersomnia is a rare sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness with no apparent cause. Research around this disorder is limited, and anecdotal evidence suggests that the most common treatment protocols are not effective for all individuals with the diagnosis. Initial treatments have been adapted from those used for a related sleep disorder, Narcolepsy Type 2, and so the root causes of the two disorders might contribute to treatment effectiveness. This research project delves into the experiences of individuals with diagnoses of narcolepsy 2 and idiopathic hypersomnia, with a focus on subjective experiences of medication effectiveness and how those with the disorders react to stimulants such as caffeine.

With immigration being a hot topic in modern day politics, the purpose of my essay was to objectively analyze how immigration has developed in the United States since 1900, as well as how it impacts society. I address the topics of economic influences, how the diversity of the nation is changed and what this means, as well as how crime rates are impacted.
