After a busy day, nothing is more desirable than a good night’s sleep. Instead, nearly 18 million Americans suffer from some kind of sleep disorder, leaving them feeling continuously sluggish, distracted and irritable.
“Whether people have problems falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested after sleeping through the night, sleep disorders can be debilitating,” said Jonathan E. Kass, M.D., Director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Cooper University Hospital. “Sleep disorders can cause serious medical and emotional problems, and increase the chance of accidents and injuries,” he said. Left untreated, sleep disorders can increase your risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and other medical conditions.
