Conventional Medicine for Parkinson's Disease. Symptoms of Parkinsonâs disease can often be effectively controlled for years with medication. Levodopa -- also called L-dopa -- is the drug most often prescribed. The body metabolizes it to produce dopamine.
Giraffes sleep between ten minutes and two hours in a 24-hour period, averaging about 2 hours per day. Since an adult giraffe would make a good supper for a lion on the African plain, theyâve evolved some very interesting sleep patterns.
Dolphins have solved that by letting one half of their brain sleep at a time. Dolphins sleep about 8 hours a day in this fashion. REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, usually associated with dreaming has been recorded only very rarely. Some scientists claim dolphins do not have REM sleep at all.
