Sleep is essential for allowing your body and mind to rest so you can function effectively during the day. If you are not getting the sleep you need, you may experience several symptoms that can clue you in that it's time to look into seeing sleep disorder doctors. Look out for several of these symptoms, and if you experience them on a regular basis, make an appointment to get sleep help.
Feeling Tired
The most obvious sign to seek out diagnosis and treatment is if you find yourself feeling tired all the time. Whether you feel like you're getting enough sleep or not, exhaustion during the day is a sure sign that you could use some sleep help. If you fall asleep during the day while reading, watching television, sitting as a passenger in a vehicle, or worse, while at work or in class, it's time to find out the cause of your sleeping problems and get the rest your body needs to feel awake.
Snoring
Many people who snore while they sleep do so because they have trouble breathing. Snoring is often linked to sleep apnea, which can be a serious problem if left untreated. Sleep apnea occurs when you stop breathing during the night, causing your body to wake up suddenly and bring you out of the periods of deep sleep you need.
Have Difficulty Falling Asleep
People who have a hard time falling asleep at night or who wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep can benefit from sleep help. Often, a sleep disorder specialist can test for specific sleep disorders and recommend ways to relax the body to assist in the process of falling asleep at the right time.
Wake Up With Pain in Legs
Pain in the legs can be a sign of restless leg syndrome or periodic limb movements, both of which make it difficult for you to get high-quality sleep during the night. Doctors can prescribe medications to relax the leg muscles and make it easier for you to get a full night of sleep.
Benefits of Sleep Help
Although the treatments will vary depending on what your sleep problems are, most patients will see several benefits from seeing a sleep disorder specialist. These benefits make most patients thrilled that they sought sleep help.
• Feel more rested and spend more time asleep rather than having nights of broken sleep.
• Have more energy during the day.
• Experience fewer problems with staying awake during the day.
• Fall asleep more easily at night, particularly after developing effective routines.
• Breathe more easily while sleeping, especially for patients who get sleep apnea treatment.
