According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 70 million Americans suffer from disorders of sleep and wakefulness. Of them, nearly 60 percent have a chronic disorder, defined as a physiological condition that causes disruptive sleep patterns. Sleep disorders inhibit an individual's mental and physical performance and can seriously affect one's health and quality of life. Sleep disorders can range in severity from snoring and restlessness, to gastro-esophageal reflux, to sleep apnea.
According to the National Sleep Foundation these are some warning signs of inadequate sleep:
Sleep disorders can seriously interfere with one's overall emotional or physical health, often leading to depression, reduced concentration and impaired memory and judgment. The extreme fatigue caused by sleep disorders can inhibit an individual's job performance and social skills, as well as increase the risk of car and work-related accidents. Lack of quality sleep also lowers the body's ability to resist and fight illnesses. As a result, the sleep-deprived person is often sick.
