Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS)
Up to 80 per cent of the individuals who fall asleep during the day have a treatable
medical problem such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy or periodic limb movement disorder.
Loud Snoring
Snoring can cause poor sleep and may be the first indication for sleep apnea.
Insomnia
If you are one of the 35 million Americans who report poor sleep every night
or most nights, there is help. About 50 percent of the individuals who report
difficulty falling or staying asleep have physical causes. Medical consultation
can help improve sleep in most of the other 50 percent as well.
Restless Legs, Nightmares, Sleepwalking
Most of these problems can be diagnosed and treated medically.
