What Are Sleep Disorders?

Sleep disorders encompass a range of conditions that affect the ability to sleep well on a regular basis. These issues can disrupt your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, leading to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and increased risk of chronic health problems.

Common Types of Sleep Disorders

• Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep.
• Sleep Apnea: Interrupted breathing during sleep, often leading to loud snoring and daytime fatigue.
• Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): An uncontrollable urge to move the legs, especially at night.
• Narcolepsy: Sudden daytime sleep attacks or overwhelming drowsiness.
• Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Disruption of your natural sleep-wake cycle, often due to shift work or jet lag.

Signs You May Have a Sleep Disorder

• Feeling excessively tired during the day despite sleeping all night.
• Snoring loudly or gasping for air during sleep.
• Difficulty concentrating or irritability during the day.
• Unusual behaviors during sleep, such as sleepwalking or talking.

Diagnosis

We use advanced diagnostic tools to uncover the root cause of your sleep difficulties, including:

• Lifestyle and Medical History Review: To identify contributing factors.

• CPAP Therapy
  For sleep apnea, a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device ensures uninterrupted breathing during sleep.

  Prescribed when necessary to address specific conditions like RLS or narcolepsy.

• Lifestyle Modifications

  • Sleep hygiene tips for a better sleep routine.
  • Stress reduction techniques like mindfulness and relaxation exercises.

• Nutritional Counseling
