How are you sleeping?
If you are one of the six percent of the American population who have difficulty falling and staying asleep, suffer from breathing disturbances, periodic leg movement disorder or parasomnias such as sleepwalking, then you know all too well that a good night’s sleep is an elusive dream.
Sleep disorders can be caused by many factors, from daily stress to lifestyle changes. The effect of sleep deprivation influences one’s physical, social and emotional health, while impacting how that person thinks, works, interacts, drives, and performs just about every other normal activity throughout their day. If left untreated, disrupted sleep can cause high blood pressure, weight gain, impotency, headaches and can even increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
