Why get a sleep study?

Sleep is a vital part of our lives and contributes to overall well-being. Poor sleep can put you at risk for:

• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Kidney disease
• Stroke
• Obesity
• Dementia
• Anxiety or depression
• Higher chance of injury

There are more than 80 types of sleep disorders. Some of the more common sleep disorders are:

• Insomnia— being unable to fall asleep and stay asleep. This is the most common sleep disorder.
• Sleep apnea— a breathing disorder in which you stop breathing for 10 seconds or more during sleep.
• Restless leg syndrome(RLS) — a tingling or prickly sensation in your legs, along with a powerful urge to move them.
• Hypersomnia — being unable to stay awake during the day. This includes narcolepsy, which causes extreme daytime sleepiness.
• Circadian rhythm disorders — problems with the sleep-wake cycle, making you unable to sleep and wake at the right times.
• Parasomnia — acting in unusual ways while falling asleep, sleeping, or waking from sleep, such as walking, talking, or eating.

If you or a loved one have any of the conditions listed above or are concerned about sleep, please talk to your healthcare provider about getting a sleep study.
