Are Sleep Disorders Cause For Alarm?

Sleep disorders can be more than a nuisance - they can effect overall health, and some disorders may even be life-threatening. Certain disorders may cause high blood pressure and heart problems, in addition to daytime sleepiness, fatigue, headaches and many other problems.

Do You Sleep Hard, Or Hardly Sleep?

There are a wide variety of symptoms that may indicate that you have a sleep disorder. Below is a list of some of the most common indicators:

• I've been told that I snore.
• I've been told that I stop breathing while I sleep.
• I feel sleepy during the day, even after a good night's sleep.
• I sometimes fall asleep while I'm driving.
• I regularly experience muscle tension in my legs.
• I have difficulty falling asleep.
• I wake up during the night and can't go back to sleep.
• I feel afraid to go to sleep.
• I worry about things and have trouble relaxing.
• I sweat excessively during the night.
