• Snore loudly?
• Feel worn out or tired when you wake up from a night of sleep?
• Get frustrated, or anxious about not being able to sleep at night?
• Have episodes of uncontrollable sleepiness that improve with a short nap?
If you can answer "yes" to any of the above questions, then you may have a common sleep problem which should be investigated further.
Getting the right amount of good quality sleep is important to physical and mental health, and to optimal daily functioning. Not getting enough sleep, or poor sleep due to a sleep disorder, can rob one's energy, reduce mental sharpness, and increase the risk of accidents while driving, or on the job. Symptoms often attributed to stress, aging, or existing medical illness may in fact be due to sleep problems.
