What Are Sleep Disorders?
Sleep disorders are conditions that affect your ability to get quality, restful sleep. Common types include:
- Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Narcolepsy: Sudden, uncontrollable sleep episodes
- Sleep Apnea: Interrupted breathing during sleep
- Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): Uncomfortable sensations causing the urge to move your legs
Among these, insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, affecting millions of people worldwide.
What Causes Sleep Disorders?
The causes of sleep disorders vary. Some stem from physical issues, while others are related to lifestyle, environment, or emotional stress.
Occasional insomnia may result from:
- High stress levels
- Too much caffeine
- Exposure to light or noise while sleeping
Chronic insomnia, however, often has underlying health causes, including:
- Heart disease
- Chronic pain
- Overactive thyroid
- Restless legs syndrome
- Mental health disorders such as anxiety or depression
Sleep apnea is not only a sleep disorder on its own—it can also contribute to ongoing insomnia.
How Sleep Disorders Affect Your Health
Lack of restorative sleep impacts both your mind and body. Common daytime symptoms include:
- Fatigue and low energy
- Anxiety or irritability
- Poor focus and memory problems
- Hyperactivity or aggressiveness
- Decreased performance at work or school
Sleep is the time your body performs essential maintenance—your brain clears toxins, your heart relaxes, and your body repairs itself. When sleep is disrupted, these processes are interrupted, increasing your risk of serious health issues like:
- High blood pressure
- Coronary artery disease
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
