Sleep Disorder

What is sleep disorder?

There are many different types of sleep disorders, but all of them affect our ability to get a good night’s sleep. Some are caused by underlying health conditions or too much stress. Others are standalone conditions. The main types of sleep disorders are:

• Insomnia
• Sleep apnea
• Parasomnias
• Narcolepsy
• Restless leg syndrome (RLS)

The symptoms can look very different depending on the disorder. Some people experience trouble falling asleep, while others have difficulty remaining asleep.

It’s also possible to physically sleep through the whole night, but have your sleep constantly disturbed. This leaves you feeling tired and unrested in the morning.

What causes a sleep disorder?

There are several different causes for sleep disorder, including:

• Respiratory problems
• Allergies
• Chronic pain
• Frequent urination
• Stress and anxiety

The importance of good sleep

We all know how important it is to get a good sleep. It’s not just about waking up feeling fresh and ready for the day, though. Sleep is a time for your body to repair itself, both physically and mentally.

Among several other things, people who don’t get enough sleep have difficulty concentrating, may eat more calories and gain weight, and even put themselves at risk of illness. Mental health issues are also often associated with sleep deprivation.
