A restful night's sleep is not a luxury – it's an absolute necessity for good health. Inadequate sleep causes a variety of problems, from the obvious symptoms such as daytime drowsiness, to hidden risks such as increased chances of developing heart disease. Causes of poor sleep vary widely, including snoring, sleep apnea (interrupted breathing), restless leg syndrome, or even poor habits regarding your sleep routine, such as eating late at night, or watching TV in bed.
If you are not getting 7 to 8 hours of good quality sleep, you may be at risk for developing serious health conditions, including:
- diabetes
- heart Disease
- hypertension
- stroke
- overweight
- depression
- substance abuse
There's no reason to struggle to stay focused at work, or avoid participating in recreational activities because of drowsiness. You can get a good night's sleep. The Sleep Disorders Center at Pattie A. Clay Regional Medical Center can help determine the cause of your sleep problems, and provide the appropriate treatment.
A referral is not always necessary. Call the Sleep Center (859) 625-3334.
