Sleep Disorder

Sleep disorders (or sleep-wake disorders) involve problems with the quality, timing, and amount of sleep, which result in daytime distress and impairment in functioning. Sleep-wake disorders often occur along with medical conditions or other mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, or cognitive disorders. There are several different types of sleep-wake disorders, with insomnia being the most common. About one-third of adults report insomnia symptoms and 6-10 percent meet the criteria for insomnia disorder. Other sleep-wake disorders include obstructive sleep apnea, parasomnias, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome. If you are struggling with poor sleep contact Brighter Life Psychiatry today!
