Sleep Disorders Treated
A person is often unaware that he or she has a sleep problem. As a result, sleep problems may go undiagnosed and untreated for many years. Sometimes, the patient complains of daytime fatigue or overwhelming sleepiness. Frequently, a bed partner, rather than the patient, is the best source of information. Some common sleep problems include the following:
- Insomnia
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Central sleep apnea
- Periodic limb movements
- Restless leg syndrome
- Narcolepsy
- Snoring
- Parasomnias
