KST A to Z
Insomnia/sleep apnea

Two stories: a woman patient with sleep issues, insomnia and sleep apnea. I checked the OD for patterns; sleep, panic, and habit all came up. Adjusted accordingly, and she slept deeply and soundly for 4 nights in a row!
My next story is an 87-year-old woman who could not sleep through the night for the last two years. She would fall asleep at 9 and wake up at 11:30, make coffee and breakfast. It turns out her husband of 60 years had passed on at that exact time and her family had woken her to tell her. I adjusted her for panic and some cranials and she has been sleeping through the night all week.
