If you are having trouble going to sleep or staying asleep, you are not alone. According to the Cleveland Clinic, about 50 million people currently suffer from sleep disorders in the United States and about 100 million Americans report that they don’t get enough sleep. At Saber Psychiatry, we specialize in evaluating and treating sleep disorders. Here are some of the symptoms of sleep disorders:
- Difficulty falling asleep or it takes more than 30 minutes to fall asleep regularly.
- Trouble staying asleep through the night, or you wake up often in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep.
- Snoring, gasping, or choking happens during sleep.
- Feeling like you need to move when you relax. Movement relieves this feeling.
- Feeling like you can’t move when you wake up.
During the daytime, you may experience additional signs and symptoms caused by a lack of adequate sleep, including:
- Daytime sleepiness: you take frequent daytime naps or fall asleep while doing routine tasks.
- Behavioral changes like difficulty focusing or paying attention.
- Mood changes like irritability and trouble managing your emotions.
- Difficulty meeting deadlines or performance expectations during school or work.
- Frequent accidents or falls.
- If you feel like you’re not able to get a good night’s rest or have symptoms that interfere with your daytime activities, talk to a healthcare provider.
