What are sleep disorders?
Sleep disorders may involve difficulty staying awake or having a regular sleep/wake cycle, sleepwalking, nightmares, bed-wetting, insomnia, restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea. They often cause trouble staying alert, irritability and difficulty concentrating or remembering facts.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have called insufficient sleep a public health epidemic in the United States. If you’re frequently tired, wake frequently or fall asleep when you are trying to stay awake, you can complete the Epworth Sleepiness Scale to determine if you’re a candidate for a sleep study.
