I don’t mention it often, but 7 yrs ago I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD and Intrusive Thought OCD. I find mindfulness helps me manage them on a daily basis. But I have bad days - today is one of them; feeling the black cloud descend, hyperarousal and inner rage and shame. 🙏

We know the baseline reality is that combat produces predictable adaptations: hypervigilance, sleep disruption, and emotional constriction. These are not human failures, but measurable, expected survival functions in lethal environments. Nervous system hyperarousal under threat is basic biology.

got some surprisingly promising data about a new mechanism to promote sustained sleep and reduce oscillatory biomarkers of hyperarousal during NREM.
uh, that’s it, thanks for reading.

Autistic individuals process sensory input more intensely. Their nervous systems are often in a persistent state of hyperarousal or shutdown, especially in inaccessible or high-stress environments.

This hyperarousal state is one I think we're all in, a lot of the time. It's exhausting and unpleasant, but feeling it ramp up last night reminded me of how deep stuff like this goes.

Excited to share new research from my lab in final published form! By deleting hypocretin (orexin) receptors from CRF neurons, we uncovered neuropeptide mechanisms linking alcohol drinking and negative emotional hyperarousal through BNST neuronal excitability.

dogs that suffer from hyperarousal do not need more exercise, but more mental enrichment and forced downtime until they learn how to settle on their own
What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
