Sleep Disorders Should Be Diagnosed and Treated

Sleep disorders are a physiological condition that causes disruptive sleep patterns. According to the National Institutes of Health, over 70 million Americans suffer from sleep and wakefulness disorders-with 60 percent of all cases being a chronic disorder.

Most people think of snoring as nothing more than noise that's irritating to our roommates or bed partners. The truth is that loud and persistent snoring can actually be a serious health problem. Snoring sounds are caused by a partial collapse in your airway when throat muscles relax during sleep. This smaller sized airway causes you to work much harder to breathe - which means interrupted and non-restorative sleep. Chronic snoring may also cause daytime problems such as sleepiness, exhaustion and higher blood pressure.

If you have a sleep disorder it should be diagnosed and treated. Many sleep-related problems that affect your health, safety and quality of life include:

Reduced mental and physical health
Overall lower quality of life
Increased risk of disease including stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure and diabetes
Decreased ability to resist and fight illness
Depression
Sexual inadequacies and problems
Difficulty performing mental and physical tasks
Reduced productivity
Problems due to lower job performance
Reduced concentration
Impaired memory and judgment
Confusion
Irritability
Dulled social skills
Falling asleep at inappropriate times
Risk of car- and work-related accidents
Danger from sleepwalking
