> Sleep architecture? Does that really exist too?
I got that from a couple of studies on Serzone™ (nefazodone) and I believe it to mean that this antidepressant normalizes the stages of sleep (ie too little REM - dream phase sleep - leads to an unrestful sleep. Some sleeping pills wipe out REM sleep, especially the longer acting benzodiazepines and the antihistamine sleep aids like Nytol™ and Benadryl™. This occurs at higher doses, usually. There are a number of different stages of sleep and, as a group, this is known as sleep architecture (I think - it's been a while since I have read about this and my brain is still misfiring).
> and I've been meaning to ask how you get the trademark sign next to the brandname drugs. pretty cool.I've got an I-Mac computer because I need something that is idiot-proof. Depressing the alt (or option) key gives you all kinds of neat symbols and alphabets. Using the shift key as well gives you more. For example, the keyboard is set up like this with the alt key depressed:
`¡£¢*§¶•ªº–*
œ*´®Ý¥¨ˆø*“‘«
åß*ƒ©·*°¬…æ
*=ç**˜µ**÷and with the shift and alt keys depressed at the same time:
`/€ÐðÞþý°·‚—±
Œ„´‰*Á¨ˆØ*”’»
ÅÍÎÏ*ÓÔ*ÒÚÆ
¸*Ç*i˜Â¯*¿The one's that show up as * are symbols that do not show up when posted (usually the cooler symbols). For example, the one in the previous sentence is the Apple apple. I believe it was Janice who turned me on to this. I don't know if real computers (ie IBMs) do this. - Cam
