Seritonin/Sleep/Pain Cycle

[Guest guest]

Hi Group! Geoff Crenshaw here.

Along the line on seritonin (sp?) it appears a hypothesis is in order:

HYPOTHESIS: Remaining quiet and in a darkened

environment during normal sleep cycles,

even if awake, encourages production

of specific hormone, cessation of

chronic pain cycle, repair of damaged

tissues and relief of depression

IF Seritonin is the hormone produced in the dark

which enhances/encourages sleep; and

IF Seritonin supplies are depleted during a severe

and long-lasting bout of pain; and

IF Seritonin enhanced sleep cycles are necessary

for encouraging the body to produce more

seritonin; and

IF The deep sleep cycles are necessary for repair

of damaged tissues

THEN It would seem likely that upon being subjected to

an awakened state in the middle of the night if

the victim were to remain quiet and comfortable

in the fully darkened environment with no lighting

(i.e., NOT arise and read, watch

television, get out of bed and

wonder about, work at the computer,

etc., but instead perhaps lay quietly

in bed listening to music of choice

in headset)

THEN The natural dark state production of seritonin

might be enhanced and thus help to break or ease

the chronic pain cycle.

Yesterday I believe it was, one of you posted an enlightening message on

seritonin and the pain/sleep/depression cycle so common to many of us.

I've lost that post and was wondering if you might please send it to me

again privately.

" Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like

an ox. Behold now, his strength in his loins, and his power in the

muscles of his belly. He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his

thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are

like bars of iron. He is the first of the ways of God. "
