Are you experiencing any of the following conditions?:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Morning headaches
- Leg cramps or continuous uncontrollable urge to move your legs
- Restlessness while sleeping
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
You might be suffering from a sleeping disorder such as apnea, a pause in breathing. Lack of a good night's sleep can impair your ability to function during your waking hours and if you think you are suffering from a sleeping disorder, you should seriously consider scheduling a sleep study to determine your sleeping behavior. A sleep disorder center would be able to assist you with a sleep study as well as provide detailed information about the causes for sleep disordered breathing and potential solutions. Advanced Sleep Diagnostics has a series of videos on their site that could be helpful in explaining sleep disordered breathing in detail.
I know someone who had apnea - for a while he looked tired all the time and wasn't full of his usual vim and vigor. After having a sleep study done, he was diagnosed and put on the path to recovery, which in this case was a good night's sleep.
If you're suffering from a lack of sleep, think about scheduling a professional consultation at a sleep disorder center - a good night's sleep is worth it.
