Saber Psychiatry Founder, Dr. Sricharan Moturi, specializes in treating sleep disorders in children, teens, and adults. He is one of the few psychiatrists in the United States that is trained in Pediatric Sleep Medicine. About 70 million people in the country suffer from sleep disorders. The Mayo Clinic describes insomnia symptoms as follows:
Insomnia Symptoms
- Difficulty falling asleep at night
- Waking up during the night
- Waking up too early
- Not feeling well-rested after a night’s sleep
- Daytime tiredness or sleepiness
- Irritability, depression, or anxiety
- Difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks, or remembering
- Increased errors or accidents
- Ongoing worries about sleep
Restless Leg Syndrome
Another common type of sleep disorder described by the Mayo Clinic is restless leg syndrome (RLS). Symptoms may include:
- Sensations that begin while resting. The sensation typically begins after you’ve been lying down or sitting for an extended time, such as in a car, airplane, or movie theater.
- Relief with movement. The sensation of RLS lessens with movement, such as stretching, jiggling the legs, pacing, or walking.
- Worsening of symptoms in the evening. Symptoms occur mainly at night.
- Nighttime leg twitching. RLS may be associated with another, a more common condition called periodic limb movement of sleep, which causes the legs to twitch and kick, possibly throughout the night, while you sleep.
