What Are Common Sleep Disorders?

While bad habits may cause you to lose out on sleep, many people suffer from sleep disorders that prevent them from getting the sleep they need.

Insomnia

Short-term insomnia occurs when a person has two or three nights where they are unable to fall or stay asleep. Chronic insomnia leads to a long-term sleep deficit, loss of short-term memory, fatigue, irritability, and depression. Chronic insomnia can even be fatal if left untreated

Narcolepsy

Those who suffer from narcolepsy are prone to falling asleep without warning. They may also suffer from sleep paralysis and have very vivid dreams.

Snoring

Noisy breathing during sleep, usually due to partially obstructed airflow

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is when a person stops breathing in their sleep, then suddenly breathes again with a gasp. Signs of sleep apnea include fatigue and sleepiness during the day, snoring, and weight gain. Sleep apnea can also be caused by being overweight, making this disorder a double-edged sword.

Restless Leg Syndrome

Tingling or numbness in the legs can make it very difficult to fall asleep. Periodic Leg Movement Disorder is a similar affliction that also leads to leg cramps and restlessness. In addition to these disorders, sleep problems like snoring, sleepwalking, nightmares, and teeth grinding (bruxism) can cause a variety of problems for patients who suffer from them

Parasomnia

Unusual or unwanted physical activities during sleep, such as sleep talking, sleepwalking, sleep paralysis, or night terrors

How Can a Neurologist Help?

By examining the relationship between your brain and nervous system, a neurologist tracks down the cause of your sleep issues. Sleep medicine and disorder treatment begin with a sleep study where you will be monitored to determine what sleep disorder you suffer from. Then, a neurologist develops an appropriate treatment plan.
The treatment plan will depend upon your symptoms, medical history, and underlying condition causing the sleep disturbance. Based on this data, you may receive:

Devices to help with breathing during the night, including a CPAP machine that delivers airflow, or simple oral appliances that open the airway.
Medications to aid you with your sleep, control associated anxiety, or treat health conditions that may be causing disturbances to your sleep.
Recommendation for therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to aid in relaxation.
