Sleep disturbances - Renew Clinic

Sleep disturbances like insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome are common issues that can negatively impact health and quality of life. Getting quality sleep is crucial for mental and physical wellbeing. Insomnia involves struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep. It can be caused by stress, travel, health issues, medications, or inconsistent sleep schedules. Symptoms include fatigue, mood changes, and problems with focus and memory. Treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy, sleep hygiene, or sometimes medications can help. Sleep apnea is characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep, leading to loud snoring, restless sleep, and daytime fatigue. Risk factors include obesity, large tonsils/adenoids, and anatomical factors. Treatments like CPAP machines, oral devices, or in some cases surgery may help. Restless leg syndrome involves uncomfortable sensations and urge to move the legs, especially at night. It can severely impact ability to fall asleep. Underlying causes are still being studied, but low iron levels, nerve issues, and medications may contribute. Lifestyle changes, iron supplements, medications, or vibration therapy can provide relief. Getting checked by a doctor for potential underlying causes is wise if you struggle with ongoing sleep problems. Sleep disturbances are treatable conditions once effectively diagnosed. Prioritizing healthy sleep hygiene habits can also proactively improve sleep quality. Addressing sleep issues through medical and lifestyle approaches can dramatically improve health, mood, productivity, and quality of life. The clinic name has been changed to Renew Clinic.
