What Are Sleep Disorders?
We've all experienced it from time to time — tossing and turning in bed, looking at the clock and wondering how much (if any) sleep you'll get tonight. On the other hand, you may seem to sleep fine but still feel groggy and tired all the time. If you frequently struggle to fall asleep or seem to feel tired no matter what you do, you might be living with a sleep disorder. Two of the most well-known types of sleep disorders are insomnia and narcolepsy, which can disrupt your sleep patterns by making it difficult to fall asleep or stay awake, respectively. There are also several disorders that can manifest while you are sleeping (such as sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome), making it difficult to get the rest you need to function. Our team at Atlantic Physicians Group specializes in treatment for sleep disorders to help you improve your mental clarity, mood, and overall health. If you find yourself yawning throughout the day or struggling to fall asleep at night, schedule a consultation at our Brooklyn, NY practice to learn how we can help improve the quality of your rest.
How Do You Treat Sleep Disorders?
We treat sleep disorders at Atlantic Physicians Group using a personalized approach for each patient. We'll start by determining the type of sleep disorder you have and any factors that might be contributing to your condition. Following this assessment, we'll create a custom-tailored sleep management plan. Your sleep disorder treatment may include therapy to resolve underlying psychological challenges, lifestyle changes to promote more restful sleep, and recommendations to improve your sleep hygiene. Using a combination of methods, our goal is to help you enjoy more restorative sleep so your body can function optimally.
What Are the Symptoms of Sleep Disorders?
Sleep disorders can have a variety of causes, ranging from stress and lifestyle habits to underlying medical conditions or medications. In some cases, a patient may constantly feel tired or sleepy without knowing it's because of a sleep disorder. Some signs that may indicate you have a sleep disorder include:
- Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early
- Persistent daytime fatigue or sleepiness, even after a full night's rest
- Loud or frequent snoring, gasping, or pauses in breathing during sleep
- Restlessness or uncomfortable sensations in the legs at night
- Difficulty concentrating, memory problems, or irritability during the day
- Sudden episodes of muscle weakness or sleep attacks (narcolepsy)
- Frequent nighttime awakenings without any clear reason
