Did you know that at least a third of adults are affected by sleep disorders? There are more than 100 types of sleep disorders. The most common sleep disorders are; Insomnia, Sleep apnea, Narcolepsy, Restless Legs Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder.

There is a common symptom that these sleep disorders share and that is sleep deprivation. A night of quality deep sleep can do wonders for the mind and body. It is essential for repairing and restoration. Lack of sleep can often result in:

• Excessive tiredness and yawning throughout the day.
• Poor concentration and lack of motivation.
• Decreased productivity.
• Irritability.
• Susceptibility to viruses and diseases.
• Inability to remember things.
• Tension and headaches.

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder and can be classified as transient, intermittent, and chronic. Insomnia suffers generally complain of:

• having difficulty falling asleep.
• having difficulty staying asleep.
• having difficulty going back to sleep after waking up at night.
• feeling drowsy or tired on awakening in the morning.
• feeling excessively tired or sleepy during the day.

Unfortunately insomnia can affect us all regardless of gender, age or race, it does not discriminate. Thousands of accidents a year occur due to falling asleep or loss of concentration, mainly while driving or operating dangerous machinery. Its total cost, in terms of illness, injuries, and decreased quality of life is staggering.

Sleep apnea is a very serious and potentially life-threatening sleep disorder. Untreated, sufferers may stop breathing repeatedly through their sleep, sometimes for a minute or longer. The word ‘apnea’ is a Greek word meaning ‘without breath.’ The sufferer may experience gagging, gasping, or choking which result in frequent awakenings during the night.

Sleep apnea not only causes sleep deprivation and poor quality sleep, untreated it can cause psychological and physical problems. Although it affects more than 12 million adults, sleep apnea remains under-recognized by doctors. However, sleep apnea is treatable with high success.
