Sleep disorders are conditions that keep a person from sleeping or sleeping well. The inability to sleep and to sleep soundly can lead to serious health problems. Sleep disorders can affect a person's ability to concentrate, lead to mood disorders, result in memory problems, and put a person at greater risk for an automobile accident or a work related injury. Studies show that sleep disorders can also lead to an increased risk of heart attack, obesity, depression, and diabetes.
Symptoms of sleep disorders include; sleep paralysis, snoring, apnea, excessive sleepiness during the day, restless leg syndrome, sleep walking, moodiness, and morning headaches.
Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder that causes a person to pause breathing while sleeping. Sleep Apnea causes excessive sleepiness during the day and may require surgery or breathing devices.
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder that causes excessive and uncontrollable sleepiness during the day. A person with Narcolepsy often sleeps at inappropriate times, such as at work or while eating. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder and not a mental illness. There is no cure for Narcolepsy.
