Understanding Sleep Disorders
Sleep problems are conditions that disrupt the quality, timing, or duration of sleep. Common issues include insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless sleep, which can cause daytime fatigue and poor concentration. Persistent sleep disturbances affect physical and mental health. Long-term sleep problems increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, weakened immunity, and mood disorders. Proper sleep habits and timely treatment are essential for overall well-being.

Common Types of Sleep Disorders
We provide specialized treatment for various sleep disorders:
- Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, early morning awakening
- Sleep Apnea: Breathing interruptions during sleep, often with loud snoring

- Narcolepsy: Excessive daytime sleepiness with sudden sleep attacks
- Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Misalignment of sleep-wake cycle with environment
