Common Sleep Disorders

Gwinnett Sleep has state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to help determine which sleep disorder you may be suffering from. We offer comprehensive care for sleep disorders and related conditions. Below are common sleep disorders we treat: 

 

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness

While not technically a sleep disorder, excessive daytime sleepiness is a major symptom of many sleep disorders such as insomnia, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea. EDS can also be caused by other medical conditions such diabetes, depression, or anxiety. A sleep medicine specialist can help determine the cause of excessive daytime sleepiness and recommend a treatment plan. 

 

Insomnia

Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep or trouble staying asleep. While insomnia can be a short-term condition, chronic insomnia is when patients experience insomnia symptoms at least three times per week for three months. Those suffering from insomnia may have excessive daytime sleepiness. Treatments for insomnia include light therapy, sleep aids, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and exercise. These treatments can also be helpful with other disorders such as depression, diabetes, or high blood pressure.   

 

Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder caused by the brain’s inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder classified by excessive daytime drowsiness, sleep paralysis, and sudden sleep attacks. Those with narcolepsy find it difficult to stay awake for long periods of time. Treatment of narcolepsy consists of stimulants, antidepressants, and other medications. 

 

Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless leg syndrome is characterized by painful sensations in the legs, especially at night. Throbbing, itching, or other painful sensations in the legs can disrupt sleep and lead to insomnia. Although there is no cure for RLS, symptoms can be managed through exercise, stretching, and lifestyle changes.

 

Snoring 

Snoring is a common sleep issue that occurs when breathing is partially obstructed during sleep. Snoring may make it difficult to get a decent nights’ rest. Snoring is more common in those who are overweight. While not typically a serious condition, snoring can be a symptom of a more serious health issue such as sleep apnea. 

 

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea can be classified into two categories: obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by a physical obstruction to the upper airways. Central sleep apnea occurs when the brain does not send signals to the muscles that control breathing. Both types of sleep apnea stop breathing and cause sleep disturbance. A leading risk factor for sleep apnea is obesity. Sleep apnea can also lead to other health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disesase, or stroke. Continuous positive air pressure, or CPAP, is an effective form of treatment for both types of sleep apnea. 

 

Sleep Medicine

Treatment and medications for sleep disorders vary depending on the disorder. Treating your sleep disorder may help with the prevention of other chronic conditions. It is important to see a board certified sleep medicine specialist.
