Sleep/Wake Disorders
Sleep/wake disorders encompass a range of conditions that affect the quality, timing, and amount of sleep, leading to daytime distress and impaired functioning. Common types of sleep/wake disorders include insomnia, which involves difficulty falling or staying asleep; sleep apnea, characterized by breathing interruptions during sleep; and circadian rhythm disorders, where the body's internal clock is out of sync with the natural day-night cycle. These disorders can lead to chronic fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and an increased risk of accidents.
Treating sleep/wake disorders is vital because adequate sleep is essential for physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. Untreated sleep issues can exacerbate existing health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mental health disorders like anxiety and depression. If you suspect a sleep/wake disorder, you may need to consult your primary care provider for a referral to a sleep study, which can help diagnose the specific issue.
