What are sleep disorders? They are irregularities that make it hard for people to sleep soundly at night - or stay awake during the day. Millions of people have undiagnosed sleep disorders.
Common sleep complaints-
Excessive Daytime Sleepiness is a common symptom with many causes, including sleep apnea syndrome, restless leg syndrome, medications, chronic insufficient sleep and narcolepsy.
Snoring is not always just a normal annoying occurrence. If light, it may indeed be trivial. However, heavy snoring may be a symptom of a serious sleep disorder called obstructive sleep apnea.
Common sleep disorders-
Sleep Apnea - when a person stops and then starts breathing again many times during the night.
Narcolepsy - when a person falls asleep sudenly several times a day.
Chronic Insomnia - when a person has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep night after night.
