Most of us have experienced trouble sleeping at one time or another. This is normal and usually
temporary, due to stress or other outside factors. But if sleep problems are a regular occurrence
and interfere with your daily life, you may be suffering from a sleep disorder. Sleep disorders
cause more than just sleepiness. The lack of quality sleep can have a negative impact on your
energy, emotional balance, and health. If youre experiencing sleeping problems, learn about the
symptoms of common sleep disorders, what you can do to help yourself, and when to see a
doctor.
Sleep can often be a barometer of your overall health. In many cases, people in good health tend
to sleep well, whereas those suffering from repeated sleeping problems might have an underlying
medical or mental health problem, be it minor or serious. Sleeping well is essential to your
physical health and emotional well-being. Unfortunately, even minimal sleep loss can take a toll
on your mood, energy, efficiency, and ability to handle stress. Ignoring sleep problems and
disorders can lead to poor health, accidents, impaired job performance, and relationship stress. If
you want to feel your best, stay healthy, and perform up to your potential, sleep is a necessity,
not a luxury.
