Common Sleep Disorders
- Do you have trouble sleeping?
- Do you snore?
- Do you awaken feeling tired?
- Have you awakened gasping?
- Do you have consistent restless nights?
- Do you awaken with frequent headaches?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it is time to see your doctor and talk about the possibility of sleep apnea or other sleep-related problems. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to heart attacks, stroke, high blood pressure, short-term memory loss and more. To find out more about sleep apnea, please visit Sleep Foundation Resources.
